Empowering Voices | Delta Kay and the Voice to Parliament
In this episode, we engage in a thoughtful conversation with Delta Kay, a respected member of our community in Byron Bay and a proud Bunjalung Arakwal woman. Through Delta's personal journey, we explore the triumphs and challenges faced by Indigenous communities, both in Australia as a whole and in our charming coastal town.
Delta's passionate commitment lies in reshaping our approach to the environment, emphasising the importance of giving back to the land that draws countless visitors to Byron Bay, rather than simply taking from it.
At the core of our discussion lies the upcoming referendum for Indigenous representation in Australia. Delta clearly explains why this referendum goes beyond just formalities; it represents a crucial moment in the ongoing pursuit of reconciliation and justice. She vividly illustrates the potential for positive change through a "yes" vote in this referendum, finally granting First Nations People the recognition and representation they've long deserved.
Tune in to gain fresh insights into our shared history, responsible stewardship of the land, and the future of both Byron Bay and Australia. Delta Kay lights the way toward a more inclusive and fair future for everyone
