💵FUNDING STRENGTHENS OUR ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES👏
My electorate will share in $300,000 from the NSW Government for community groups and organisations to grow Aboriginal Language activity.

Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation will receive $90,000 through the 2019-20 Languages Community Investments Program.

Their project “Jalayagay junyirri: continuing to speak” will complement existing Gumbaynggirr language programs and help cover gaps in revitalisation efforts.

BMNAC aims to produce 50 fluent Gumbaynggirr teachers by 2021 and launch the Gumbaynggirr Giingana (K-6) immersion school in 2022.

This funding provides a fantastic opportunity to support local community based organisations to continue the reawakening and growth of local First Languages.

I applaud the important work of the BMNAC, led by executive officer Clark Webb.
