Traditional owners from the #TorresStrait have built a replica Seawall outside of #parliament demanding action on climate change. Uncle Ted Billy told the crowd his great grandfather’s remains have been swept away by rising sea levels: “This is a now problem, we need to act now.”
Farewell #SeamanDan . Musical legend of the #TorresStrait , a star of our #Backroads episode on #ThursdayIsland in 2017 and a thoroughly decent man. RIP
