The Wire

And in our final show before this weekend’s election, The Wire takes one last look at the black politicians in the running. All major parties except the Nationals are fielding Indigenous candidates – as are many of the smaller players. Tamara Giles, Aboriginal journalist with the National Indigenous Times provides us with an analysis of the electoral landscape – and says it’s obvious that Indigenous Australians are showing a growing interest in the democratic process. Indigenous policy details are available on the National Indigenous Times website.
