      <image:caption>Derek Hardman 2022 Federal Election Candidate for Division of Parkes NSW Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia Introducing Derek Hardman  – Candidate for Parkes  Derek is a proud Barkindji man from the federal seat of Parkes. Derek lives in Broken Hill and is CEO of the Barkindji Native Title group. Derek has been a prolific leader and advocate for Aboriginal people for most of his adult life. An example of Derek’s down to earth, generous, and practical nature was demonstrated recently as Derek, with some other Indigenous Party executives organised the ‘Deliver-roo’ initiative during Covid lockdowns at Wilcannia. Food, especially, fresh food was difficult to obtain in remote NSW towns so Derek helped organise cultural hunts on Country and on-site meat processing, to feed the mob in Wilcannia. Derek says this is a prime example of where Traditional ways can help all Australians while enhancing local Indigenous populations with knowledge, pride, and purpose. Always someone who respected his elders, Hardman believes in leading the way for the younger generation; demonstrating that they can contribute in meaningful ways to make a better Australia for all Australians. Derek is concerned about the rivers and all water ways, knowing that the well being of all communities in Parkes electorate depend on the health of the Baaka (Darling) and all waterways Derek’s list is the rivers, environment, and community as his top priorities in this election. He says cultural heritage, housing and jobs are a close second, but without healthy waterways our communities may perish.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Campaigns - 2022 Federal Election Brett Duroux  Candidate for Division of Page NSW Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia Introducing Brett Duroux  – Candidate for Page</image:title>
      <image:caption>Brett Duroux is a proud Yaegl, Bundjalung and Gumbaynggirr man, a family man, living with his wife and kids in Coutts Crossing, in the Federal seat of Page. Brett worked at the Grafton Ngerrie Local Aboriginal Land Council and as the Chairperson of Gugiyn Balun Aboriginal Corporation. Brett is a fantastic communicator, with genuine interest and concern for his community. Brett is campaigning to give his community a strong voice and leadership, and to promote respect for the land and to encourage unity and equality. Even before becoming a candidate for The Indigenous party, Brett has been an outspoken leader in his community and now Brett is keen to use the platform of the Indigenous Party to raise awareness of the issues facing the Clarence Valley which are mirrored all over the country. Brett will be calling for no coal seam gas exploration or mining in the Clarence Valley. “We need to protect our water, farmland and towns. Mining that puts our waterways and farmlands at risk needs to stop.” Also high on Brett’s list of priorities are addressing unemployment and skills shortages by offering free TAFE courses. He believes this will also assist with the mental health crisis Page, and the rest of the country, are facing. To this end, Brett will also be calling for Indigenous Head Spaces, to redress the suicide and incarceration rate for Indigenous people which are at epidemic proportions. With a vast history and knowledge of the mechanics of Local Aboriginal Land Councils, Brett will continue efforts to strengthen the relationships between Land Councils and Traditional Owners and encourage them to work together. “What interests me is talking to people about their concerns and getting answers for them, and helping my community in any way I can,” he said. “I believe in positive change for our community.</image:caption>

Jeff walks in his ancestor’s footsteps opening communication and breaking down barriers between all Australians. Very active in the community, Jeff, a Dharug Nation official, is the Indigenous Representative, and Mental First Aider for his employer, Busways, where Jeff is employed as a bus driver. Jeff believes in action; he is a person that believes in speaking up for, and supporting, those in our community who may not have a voice, or the confidence, to speak up for themselves. Jeff has seen firsthand the decline of mental health in the country and believes in getting back to community and healing by connection; to this end Jeff has initiated and regularly facilitates community groups supporting men in need. Jeff strongly believes Local Aboriginal Land Councils need to work with local Traditional Owners when decisions are being made on their Country especially in matters involving land that is of significant cultural value. For example, the ridge line from Staples Lookout to Kariong. “This area must be preserved for future generations”. *Bungaree became the first known Aboriginal person to circumnavigate Australia with Matthew Flinders and contribute to the mapping of the Australian coastline. He aided in the voyage with Flinders by communicating with local Indigenous tribes.</image:caption>
