At a ceremony in Cairns on Thursday 9 July 2026, two framed Deeds of Grant were presented, confirming the ownership by Iama and Tudu Peoples of Zagai and Mukar (also known as Jeaka Island and Cap Islet). Directors of the Magani Lagaugal (Torres Strait Islanders) Corporation RNTBC received the deeds. Magani Lagaugal is the prescribed body corporate, or PBC, for the Iama and Tudu Peoples native title holders. Congratulations!

DonateLife Week (Sunday 26 July to Sunday 2 August) is our major public awareness week encouraging more Australians to support organ and tissue donation. Billy’s brother, Ross Munro, was an Organ Donor. Billy said his brother would be very happy to know that his donation changed the lives of his recipients for the better and that they are happy. One organ donor can save the lives of up to 7 people and change the lives of many more through eye and tissue donation. This DonateLife Week we want all Australians to register as organ and tissue donors, and be the reason that someone else gets a second chance at life. Registering is quick, easy and only takes one minute.

Good morning you mob,

We hope you’re having a deadly start to your Saturday morning. 😃Coming up at 10am is Black Magic Woman with Mundanara Bayles, and this week she catches up with Sarah Ibrahim. There are community legal services for so many of us. For women. For elders. For people with disability. For refugees.For mob navigating the justice system. But when Sarah Ibrahim went looking for one built for race and racism, there wasn’t a single one in this whole country. So, she built it herself.In this yarn I sit down with Sarah, an Egyptian Australian lawyer, human rights advocate and the founder of the Racial Justice Centre, the first community legal service in Australia dedicated entirely to racial justice.Sarah came to this country carrying the knowledge of what it means to move between worlds, and she has spent nearly seventeen years using the law to fight for people who’ve been told their story doesn’t count.This yarn goes places I didn’t expect. Sarah is doing some of the most important work happening in this country right now, and after this one, you’ll understand why I wanted her voice on this podcast.Resources and LinksRacial Justice Centre: www.racialjustice.auFollow the Racial Justice Centre on Instagram: @racialjustice.auCentral Lawyers (Sarah’s commercial law firm): https//www.centrallawyers.com.auIf this yarn brought things up for you, please reach out to 13YARN on 13 92 76, a free and confidential service where you can yarn with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander crisis supporter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. … See MoreSee Less
