Episode Details

The Australian Electoral Commission proposes renaming South Australias largest federal electorate, Grey, after Dr. Lowitja O’Donoghue, a renowned Aboriginal leader. This change would make her the first Indigenous woman to have a federal seat named in her honor. Dr. O’Donoghue, who passed away last year, broke barriers as the first Indigenous nurse at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and played a key role in securing native title laws. She also became the first Aboriginal Australian to speak at the United Nations General Assembly. The proposal also includes tweaks to other electorates to balance voter numbers amid population growth. Public input is open now before final decisions.
