Empathy, Hope and Jan 26 with Brooke Blu...

Osher Günsberg
About this episode

As another January 26 rolls closer, so too do the questions and conversations that come with it.

This time however, even though those conversations are another year older, the sentiments seem all the more raw and inflamed.

In this episode, Osher chats co-hosts of the podcast First Things First; youth worker, author (and former Bachelorette) Brooke Blurton, and broadcaster, advocate and podcaster Matty Mills.

They discuss the current political landscape both here and abroad and how it is impacting the discussion on first nations issues, why symbols like flags matter, the place for empathy and hope, and a vision for a possible future regarding First Nations issues in Australia.

Check out First Things First here.
