    EP 3: Gay, Aboriginal and making Pride count - with Gerry Matera

    Through the organisation, Pride Western Australia, as well as his four businesses, Gerry Matera is addressing prejudice and inequality against LGBTQIA+ and Aboriginal communities in some of Australia's largest organisations. A Nyoongar traditional owner from Western Australia, and a gay man raised in a family of professional football players, Gerry's life experiences affected by depression and anxiety are fuelling his passion to drive social change and stamp out bigotry particularly in the construction sector. One of Gerry's four businesses, the construction firm Marawar, was awarded the 2021 National Registered Aboriginal Business of the Year for driving significant growth and demonstrating ongoing engagement with the Aboriginal community. The first Aboriginal person to join Pride WA in its 30-year history, Gerry chats to Rebecca Kent about 'rainbow-ticking' and 'black-cladding' and how Pride marches are lending themselves to difficult conversations that he doesn't at all mind having.
