Crisis in Doomadgee

We’ve scrapped our planned #IWD post because this news report is too important not to share. In an ABC podcast , Louise Milligan outlines the situation in Doomadgee, a remote community in QLD where Aboriginal women and young girls are dying from a disease eradicated in white populations many decades ago. ⁠ ⁠

Our work often provides respite from the intensity of global events, but it also heightens our awareness of situations of gross inequity and racism. Our interest is also piqued by the link between health outcomes and the state of housing in our remote communities. This podcast won’t take up more than 15 minutes of your time. Thanks to Akira Monaghan for sharing it with us this morning.
