In conversation with Thomas Mayo – Presented by the Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival

Join award-winning author and human rights advocate Thomas Mayo for a powerful conversation inspired by his latest book, Always Was, Always Will Be, a reflection on the Voice referendum and a call to reignite hope for the path ahead.

Always Was, Always Will Be offers a deeply personal examination of Australia’s ongoing struggle for Indigenous recognition and justice. Drawing on his decades of experience as a union leader and national Indigenous figure, Mayo offers a guide to hope based on the lessons from the past, drawing inspiration from the many great Australians he has met on his journey.

In the lead-up to 26 January, this talk will explore what it means to be Australian in these often-uncertain times and how communities can come together to create a new cultural identity through positive change.
