NITV’s The Point NAIDOC Week Special celebrates the invaluable contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have made and continue to make in the community, encompassing the theme 'Because of Her, We Can!'
Join hosts Rachael Hocking and Nakari Thorpe, who will be joined by an all-female guest panel including, Shadow Minister for Human Services and Preventing Family Violence, Linda Burney, Mayor for the Torres Shire Council, Vonda Malone, copyright lawyer Terri Janke and the National Co-Director of Seed, a branch of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Larissa Baldwin.
