About 1400 people attended the gala awards for First Nations achievement at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday night, entering a buzzing room with smoke machines and traditional music after the COVID-19 pandemic forced last year’s event online and cancelled the 2020 ceremony.

“Helping inspire kids to go after their dreams is something I am very passionate about, and I am committed to giving back in this next chapter of my life.” “I’ve done the hard yards,” Charles said. “It’s been a hoot because people seek advice or tender words from the likes of myself.”Charles, a member of the Stolen Generation who spent decades in and out of prison where he set up a pottery shop, was recognised for his longevity in the performing field, but also for his work as an advocate for reducing Indigenous incarceration.

NITV NITV He is much loved outside his community too. NITV 'retraumatised' -- harden-up mate. If you didn't have to prove anything, the compensation scheme would run out of money in 24hrs, with most of it going to scammers. NITV He wouldn't be traumatised if he weren't stolen, because he'd be dead from neglect. At least he's alive.
