Through our annual National Reconciliation (NRW) Breakfast, we aim to bring diverse and passionate voices to Tasmanian audiences, to broaden the reach of reconciliation and inform more people about Aboriginal history, culture, and contemporary issues.
Our speakers Shane Howard and Ged Watts will be key to this. Shane with his decades of experience as a reconciliation activist and legendary Australian musician, and Ged as a young palawa man speaking his truth from the heart.
This is the first year an RT NRW breakfast will feature a non-Aboriginal keynote speaker who will speak to the importance of walking together for reconciliation and standing up as a strong ally.
Shane embodies what it means to be a committed ally, recently handing back his OAM (Order of Australia) medal due to the failure of the Voice referendum.
2024s NRW theme of Now More Than Ever speaks to the work that is needed. Now more than ever, the work continues. In treaty making, in truth-telling, in understanding our history, in education, and in tackling racism. We need connection. We need respect. We need action. And we need change.
Now more than ever, we need reconciliation.
