CAAMA Radio produces two local news bulletins airing at 12pm and 6pm every weekday. A full bulletin can also be heard online.
In today’s bulletin:
• A new productivity commission report has found two in every three souvenirs claiming to be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander are fake. Only $41 million of the $250 million indigenous arts and crafts sector makes it back to First Nations artists or creators.
• Those with a heightened risk of COVID-19 have been reassured free PCR tests will continue to be available into the new year in Australia.
• Victoria’s Yoorock Truth Telling Commission has heard that the 2019 death in custody of an Aboriginal woman in Victoria could have been avoided if punitive bail laws had not been introduced the year before.
