Reconciliation Tasmania are hosting a breakfast for Reconciliation Week on Friday, May 31; tickets are now available.
We are thrilled to reveal the two keynote speakers for Reconciliation Tasmania’s 2024 NRW breakfast in nipaluna/Hobart:
SHANE HOWARD – former Goanna band frontman, award-winning musician, and long-time reconciliation activist plus;
GED WATTS – the young palawa student grew up immersed in cultural activities on-country around Georgetown. His powerful speech on reconciliation at last year’s Launceston NRW breakfast drew a standing ovation.
Shane has been a vocal ally of First Nations people’s right to justice and self-determination for more than 40 years. As a member of Goanna, he penned the anthemic song ‘Solid Rock’ which became a foundation song for the path toward truth telling. Shane will also perform during the breakfast.
The 2024 NRW theme, Now More Than Ever, reminds us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will — and must — continue.
