  • Changing Australia: Daryn McKenny and Callum Clayton-Dixon on saving Indigenous languages

    At one point in history, Australia was home to more than 250 languages and some 800 dialects.

    Colonisation and cultural suppression have seen most of those languages become endangered — or lost altogether.

    But in Aboriginal Languages Week — and as the ABC recognises deep time history and its connection to Australia's present and future — we wanted to speak to two First Nations men fighting back.

    Guests:

    • Daryn McKenny is the founder of the Miromaa Aboriginal Language & Technology Centre .and the PULiiMA Indigenous Language and Technology Conference.
    • Dr Callum Clayton-Dixon is an Anaiwan language revivalist and a research fellow at the University of Technology Sydney.

  • 'Real outcomes': Minister talks up minerals deal

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is leaving Washington DC following a face-to-face meeting with US President Donald Trump in the White House.

    The meeting saw the Australian government secure a multi-billion-dollar critical minerals deal designed to combat China's global dominance in the sector as well as reassurances from the president that the United States will go "full steam ahead" on the AUKUS defence pact.

    • Guest: Tim Ayres, Minister for Industry and Innovation
    • Producer: Isadora Bogle
