NITV Radio's Danny Teece-Johnson goes one-on-one with the Betoota Advocate to discuss "Uncle Tony"
The Betoota Advocate is a small and independent regional newspaper from far-west Queensland, they pride themselves on reporting fair and just news with the authenticity that rivals only the salt on the sunburnt earth that surroundsthem in the Queensland Channel Country.
Having been established in the mid-1800’s, they are arguably Australia’s oldest newspaper and have always taken pride in their ability to walk in both worlds: regional and metropolitan news. In recent times, their popularity has grown immensely as result of a bold move to create an online revival for their publication.
The recent coverage of Special Envoy to Indigenous Affairs, Mr Tony Abbott has hit a nerve with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Australia, providing some much needed comic relief in the current political climate.
