Welcome to the 2021 Better Together Conference Podcast. Recorded live at the Adelaide Convention Centre on the 18th and 19th of June, 2021. These sessions were proudly recorded and produced by JOY 94.9. 

Using a piece of art showcased at the United Nations, this presentation talks to Australia’s First Peoples living with disability who identify as LGBTIQ+ community members, and the intersectionality between these. Talking to the impact that the introduction of western religion and colonisation has had on the First Nations LGBTIQ+ community, we pose the question of LGBTIQ+ people being accepted as part of the rich and diverse social structure of First Peoples culture  and communities for thousands of years, prior to the introduction of western beliefs and perceptions. 

Speakers: Uncle Paul Calcott, Kelly Treloar
