  1. 2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - #BobbyBrownHomelands - Living with the Legacy of #British #NuclearTesting

    #Australia, 2015, Produced and Directed by Kim Mavromatis and Quenten Agius, MAV Media in Association with NITV (National Indigenous TV Australia). Documentary, 5 min

    "In the 1950’s and 1960’s the Australian government authorised British Nuclear testing at #EmuField and #Maralinga in Outback South Australia. We journey with #Antikirrinya Elder, #IngkamaBobbyBrown to his homelands in outback #SouthAustralia where he explains the legacy of living with British Nuclear testing - how he witnessed the first tests on the Australian mainland at Emu Field (1953) and experienced the devastating affects of radioactive fallout on his family, people and country. This is the first time Bobby has spoken out about what he witnessed when he was a boy - what happened to his family and country and the people who went missing - during British Nuclear testing.

    "Dedicated to Bobby Brown - keeping his connection to country and story alive”.

    " 'Happy to have the film screen at the Uranium Film Fest, Las Vegas Nevada. An appropriate place for Bobby’s film to be screened. Bobby would have loved that - he passed away in 2023.' Kim Mavromatis.

  2. Yankunytjatjara Elder Yami Lester was aged 10 when the Totem 1 nuclear test detonated close to his home at Wallatinna station – an event that left him permanently blind, made many others sick, and killed some of his elders.

    This year marks 40 years since the shocking truth about British nuclear testing in remote Australia was exposed by the McClelland Royal Commission.

  3. CW: CW - politics + war + genocide

    Simply juxtaposing #Yemen with #SouthAfrica seems like a safer bet than trying to explain the middle?

    The attempt to explain being that #AnsarAllah do seem to be fairly objectionable but also seem to kinda have a point, but even that mild way of starting it seems fraut?

    But it seems like a disturbing proposition of our leadership think the #Houthis are a bigger problem right now than the IDF?

    So maybe I need to be more persuade?

    It's probably too late now? It's not like they're gonna drag those eleven bastards home?

    I should have done more sooner but that wouldn't have helped either? Thousands of Aussies protested Iraq invasion but we got dragged in anyway because John promised George?

    #democracy is a sham? If we ever picked a government I actually liked the "defenders of democracy" would probably #RegimeChange it?
