On the first of our Water Justice Hub Researcher’s series, we talk with Dr. Anne Poelina: Chair of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council, Adjunct Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the Nulungu Research Institute at the University of Notre Dame and Managing Director of the Indigenous not-for-profit organisation Madjulla.
Anne gives important insights into what water-ways mean to her as an Indigenous woman and her community as well as what she sees as the most pressing water justice policy issues today.
