Constantina Bush, National Indigenous Music Awards & Aboriginal Youth Suicide

Sirummy and Miss Ellaneous host a bumper show featuring insights into the ABC’s sci-fi series Cleverman and the recently held National Indigenous Music Awards; they also have a candid chat with leggy bush budju Constantina Bush; and on a more serious note, look at the pressing, often despairing issue of Aboriginal youth suicide.

In light of the recent call for a Royal Commission into Northern Territory Youth Detention, Sirummy and Miss Ellaneous delve into the issues within Australia’s criminal justice system and racism and its impact on Aboriginal youth suicide and the quality of life experience in Aboriginal communities across Australia – particularly those communities in our north.
