Ep. 15 If its meant to be, its up to me

My Culture Story with Kado Muir

In this episode we interview Amanda Haas Lovitt a Councillor at the Shire of Harvey who was called to action when seeing the outrage and despair amongst Aboriginal people and their supporters brought about by the State Library of WA inviting a speaker to rehash white Australia policy speak under the guise of a disruptive ideas festival. Amanda responded to a comment posted by Nic Fardell, aspiring Nationals politician, on my facebook post saying one little thing that can be a major disruption is for more Shire Councils to employ Aboriginal people in administrative roles. Drawing in her grandmothers mantra of "if its meant to be, its up to me" Amanda has now created an employment opportunity at the Shire of Harvey for an Indigenous trainee. Taking action, taking responibility and seeing it through is Amanda's key lessons as she acts to be the change she wants to see in the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kado-muir/message
