    Sea Country to Safe Harbour shares water stories of Port Adelaide

    A new community story telling exhibition launched in Port Adelaide, celebrates water stories and the port as a central point of connection, migration, First Nations knowledge and belonging, bringing together generations and cultures.  Sea Country to Safe Harbour by the Australian National Maritime Museum highlights the port as an important intersection of departure and arrival industry and exchange.  The project centres local voices, waterways and relationships. Residents will be invited to share memories of water, travel, work, family and home.  Nanette Louchart-Fletcher, Assistant Director Australian National Maritime Museum, says the inspiration to the exhibition was simple and based on a desire to share water stories together as a nation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Kumanjayi Little Baby review urges major reform of child protection system

    A system-wide child protection reset is needed in the Northern Territory. That's among forty-five recommendations handed down by an independent review commissioned following the death of Kumanjayi Little Baby near Alice Springs in April.   The Finocchiaro government has committed to accepting all of the recommendations. The review found Child Protection received sixteen notifications with a pattern of violence about Kumanjayi Little Baby, but no domestic violence orders were sought to protect her.   Rob McPhee is the Northern Territory representative of SNAICC, the national voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. He's told NIRS News' Mark Hides he's pleased the CLP government has finally acknowledged the system's failures. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Advocates fear NT public housing reforms disproportionately impact First Nations communities

    New rules for public housing in the Northern Territory introduced this week mean tenants can be evicted for a major single antisocial behaviour breach.. Indigenous and legal advocates say these will disproportionately impact First Nations people and increase homelessness.  Under the rules, public housing tenants will receive a strike for antisocial behaviour. Three strikes from antisocial behaviours such as excessive noise from a television or using foul language will lead to eviction. However a significant breach, like threatening someone or damaging property, will be counted as three strikes and result in eviction.   The NT government says it's responding to concerns from neighbours of public housing tenants.

    Western Australia’s anti-discrimination laws see major overhaul

    Western Australia’s anti-discrimination laws set to see major reform for the first time in 40 years.   The Equal Opportunity Bill 2026 proposes new protections against discrimination, harassment, and vilification, including for LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities and those experiencing homelessness or family violence.  But questions remain about where the protections begin and end, and if the law extends too far or not far enough.
