R J Poole, Bundjalung Country (PEOPLE 2023)

My home town of Lismore is situated in the Bundjalung territory of First Nation People, yet there's very few Aboriginal people employed locally or involved in running things. Instead, they are seldom encountered roaming the street or standing - seemingly lost - in parks or public places.
