This podcast was recorded in 2020 and is one of my earliest interviews. Unfortunately, Pat's audio is not the greatest and reflects use of a speaker phone in Parliament House. However, Pat's story, his perspective of reconciliation and truth telling as one of Australia outstanding first nation statesperson is highly regarded and will give you an insight to our first nation narrative. I strongly recommend listening to the podcast, unfortunately the audio is not up our normal standard but you can hear his wise words.
Pat is an Australian indigenous rights activist and former politician. He was a Senator for Western Australia representing the Australian Labor Party and is known as the “Father of Reconciliation".
He is a Yawuru elder from Broome, Western Australia. He has been chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation and a Commissioner into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. In addition to a brief stint as a Roman Catholic priest, he was the winner of the 2008 Sydney Peace Prize and the 2009 John Curtin Medal.
Join me on the Confab to lean more about his life journey and passions.
