NITV and SBS to celebrate the significance and spectacle of the 25th Garma Festival

SBS Australia3 days ago
As the Garma Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary this year from 1-4 August, NITV and SBS will deliver comprehensive, multiplatform, and multilingual coverage across the four-day event, giving all Australians a front row seat for all the agenda-setting conversations and an iconic celebration of Yolŋu culture. Taking place in Gulkula, northeast Arnhem Land, the Garma Festival is one of Australia's largest Indigenous gatherings and most significant Indigenous affairs forum. Hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, the event brings together political leaders, policy makers, corporate leaders, and community representatives. It provides a globally recognised platform for debate about issues affecting First Nations people, while also celebrating the culture, ceremony, visual art, dance, music, and storytelling of the Yolŋu people. In 2025, NITV returns to Gulkula as Media Supporter for the tenth year, to provide its unique First Nations focussed coverage of the festival. Together with SBS, it will be sharing all the key forums, major announcements, and highlights like the Opening Ceremony and the daily buŋgul (traditional dance), with a national audience across the network. The event will also be shared with global audiences through the World Indigenous Broadcasting Network.
'Each year, the Yolŋu people open their arms and their hearts to more than 2,500 people at Gulkula, and we're honoured to extend that invitation to all Australians through our coverage of this significant event,' said Tanya Denning-Orman, SBS Director of First Nations. 'This year we will deliver more of the key moments and ceremonial spectacle of the Garma Festival across our platforms than ever before, as we continue to grow and expand our coverage across the entire SBS network, led by NITV as the official Media Supporter. We will ensure you don't miss a moment and are proud to be delivering unparalleled access for every Australian, and around the world. 'This 25-year milestone for the Garma Festival is also an opportunity to reflect on the event's significance, legacy, and impact. We'll also highlight this history and celebrate the many achievements of Yolŋu leaders and the strengths of the region.'
Natalie Ahmat from NITV News at Garma Festival
Daily live coverage, updates, and highlights – including a two-hour live special on Sunday 3 August from 10am - will be presented by NITV's Indigenous News and Current Affairs team including Head of Indigenous News and Current Affairs, Natalie Ahmat; SBS National Indigenous Affairs Editor and host of The Point, John Paul Janke; NITV News Presenter and Senior Producer, Michael Rennie; and more. In addition to NITV and SBS's live simulcast of key events, SBS News will report from Garma, providing updates on SBS World News and its platforms, with Chief Political Correspondent, Anna Henderson, on the ground. SBS will also provide unique multilingual coverage with representatives from SBS's Chinese and Arabic teams also reporting from Gulkula, with news and insights to feature across the SBS Audio network in more than 60 languages, in addition to NITV Radio. NITV Muy Ngulayg on SBS On Demand will be the home for all Garma Festival content, with audiences able to tune into live streams, as well as catch up on all the forums and speeches, buŋgul, and NITV News' programs.

ABC star's son tackles the haters of his very sweary podcast

And those haters will be delighted to hear the podcast has changed the young men's lives. They are now making a modest living off monetisation deals with Spotify and YouTube as well as their own individual sponsorships. Patricians v plebeians Shakespeare's Coriolanus tells the story of Roman soldier/tyrant Coriolanus, who when spurned by his own electorate marches on Rome seeking vengeance. The Bell Shakespeare production has come up with a cunning wheeze, dividing the audience up into noble patricians and common plebeians, in keeping with the play's themes of politics and class conflict. Who'd be attracted to such a play about a supreme egotist? Well, at the Arts Centre Melbourne premiere on Friday, the audience was thick with politicians and lawyers. Thus, Liberal senator Jane Hume, in Roman republic burgundy, found herself among the plebeians, as did rich lister and University of Melbourne chancellor Jane Hansen, and president of the council of trustees for the National Gallery of Victoria Janet Whiting, who joked that surely some mistake had been made. After the show, Bell Shakespeare chair Philip Crutchfield, KC, asked how Hume had gone sitting among the common people. She joked she could handle being the People's Princess. Having come from a federal parliament sitting week, Hume, no doubt having had her fill of sociopaths in warring factions, watched the Roman Republic events unfold with a wry smile and gave it a standing ovation. A case of she knows, she's been there? Unlimited has its limits Inching ever closer is the Women Unlimited Leadership Summit, starring Hillary Rodham Clinton, Leigh Sales, 'some of the nation's most senior women in the Australian Public Service' and others 'leading the pursuit of progress'. Regular readers will recall this is the summit at which former prime minister Julia Gillard will be beamed on stage via hologram. Talk about boldly going where none have gone before for PM27. First her very own stage play – now this. Certain journalists have been invited to attend the event, held in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and other capitals over September 30 and October 1. Also going around: speakers including Indigenous leader and advocate Lil Gordon, Director-General of the Australian Signals Directorate Rachel Noble and co-creator of the 'glass cliff' concept, Australian National University professor Michelle Ryan. We reported earlier that the starting price to attend the two-day summit varies from state to state. Ticket prices in the ACT start from $3199, in NSW $2899, and Victoria and other states $2699 – all plus GST, of course. Loading But media access to the star attraction is not proving as unlimited as we hoped. CBD has learnt that the former US secretary of state, US senator (and spouse of former president Bill Clinton) has a contract that stipulates no interviews and no media in her session. Nor, it seems, are any photos or videos allowed. Lock up those smartphones, influencers. CBD is getting strong vibes of 1956's closed session of the 20th Soviet Congress when communist party first secretary Nikita Khrushchev gave a secret speech denouncing Joseph Stalin. Or more recently, Liz Hurley 's infamous 2024 Melbourne Cup appearance, where she refused interviews apart from one brief one with rights holder Nine. As one witness reported: 'She literally grimaced in disgust when asked to speak to media on the red carpet.' Been and gone After our item last week pointed out that the Greens still had ex-leader Adam Bandt emblazoned on their website months after he lost his seat in the May election, we wondered how long it would take the party to haul the former MP off the site. The answer: sometime before midday but not before 8am, which was three hours after our column hit the internet. Even in the online age, wheels can sometimes turn slowly.

SBS Learn English 에피소드 91: 잡 추천서 요청하기 (중급)

이 내용은 중상급 이상 학습자에게 적합합니다. 먼저 팟캐스트를 들으신 후 간단한 퀴즈를 풀어보세요. Learning notes Lesson learning objective: Learn polite ways to request a job reference from managers or colleagues. Different phrases you can use when asking for a job reference: Could I list you as a reference on my job application? Would you mind being a reference for me? I wanted to ask if you would feel comfortable providing a reference for me? I was wondering if you would be willing to serve as a referee for me? Can I use your name as a reference? I'd really appreciate it if you could put in a good word for me. Would it be okay if I passed on your mobile number? Could you pass on my resumé to the hiring manager? If possible, please mention my ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines. I'd appreciate it if you could talk about my communication skills. It would be very helpful if you could focus on my experience with client relations. Practise speaking dialogue from this episode: SBS English 22/07/2025 02:54 English To toot your own horn , or to blow your own trumpet , means to talk proudly about yourself and your achievements. To job hunt is to look for a new job. To touch base with someone means to check in with them and see how they are doing. To put in a good word for someone means to say positive things about them to help them get a job or some sort of opportunity. To pass on means to give or share information with someone else. A job referee in the context of applying for a job is a person who can speak about your work experience, skills, and character when you apply for a job. A reference is the opinion that a referee offers about your suitability for a job. To fix up means to make something is properly done and up to date. We say feel free when we give someone permission to do something. In the context of this episode, highlight means to focus on or talk more about something important — like your skills, experience, or strengths. Asking someone to do something for you can be complicated, especially if they are your boss or someone you don't know very well. Knowing how to strike the right balance between being polite and being friendly can be particularly confusing in Australia, where people often use informal language even at work. It can also be a little hard to know just how willing people are to do what you are asking, that is, whether it is a 'little' ask (something they are very happy to do) or a 'big ask' (something that may be difficult or time consuming for them to do). Often the 'bigger' the ask, the more polite we have to be. In the text we see a range of different ways of asking. Notice that the verb form changes according to the request phrase that you use: Could I list you as a referee (could + I/ You + verb) Would you it okay if I / you passed on (would it be ok if + I/you + verb + ed) Can you put in a good word for me (can + you + verb) These are simple ways of asking someone you know well to do something 'little': Would you mind being a referee for me? (would + you + mind + verb + ing) This is a little more formal: I wanted to ask if you would feel comfortable providing a reference for me? (I + wanted + to ask if + you + would + be comfortable with/ be able to…) I was wondering if you would be willing to serve as a referee for me. (I + was wondering if + you + would + be willing to …..) These requests are more formal and acknowledge that the request might be a 'bigger' ask. Notice that the phrases used to introduce the request are in the past tense and therefore more polite: I'd really appreciate it if you could ………. (I + would + really appreciate it if + you + could) This is another more formal and polite way of asking someone to do something, but is a little more insistent and implies that the person you are asking is likely to agree.
