abc.net.au/news/short-film-inspired-by-judith-wright-generations-of-men/101682802When Joanna Joy was 14 years old, her father handed her a copy of Judith Wright's book Generations of Men.The story by Wright, a renowned poet and author, is about her own family's unsuccessful move into central Queensland in the 1850s.
"I think it's pretty bold and brave of Judith to look at what she'd written, even though it's a fantastic book, and go, 'That's not good enough. I want to do it again.'"The idea of adapting these stories and collaborating with traditional owners to create a short film was born. It seemed a simple process — find the original property on which the story is set and engage with the traditional owners and current landholders.With the help of well-known director Wayne Blair, a Rockhampton local, community support for the film grew.Margaret Hornagold was emotional viewing her country on the big screen.
Ms Joy and her producer Elizabeth Simiard spent a week visiting Rockhampton, Woorabinda and Clarke Creek in central Queensland to hold workshops and find the right actors.Andrew Young and Zalhi Hayden both learned Darumbal language growing up.The next step was getting the language correct — it would be in English, Barada and, predominantly, Darumbal.
Im so thankful to Ancestors for bringing IngaStunzner to Darumbal Country to ensure our stories are reported properly and respectfully. This film means so much to Darumbal and Barada Mob.
The film clip connected with this is worth watching. The wider community is quite passionate about this project, and it means a lot to them.

Some Queensland coal mines to trade beyond 2050 net-zero targetIt has been revealed 12 coal mines across Queensland are expected to continue operating beyond the 2050 net-zero target. Internal state government reports reveal the Carmichael coal mine is expected to remain operational until 2071, while another two mines are expected to remain open until 2099, according to The Courier Mail. The revelations come after Resources Minister Madeleine King declared Australia will continue exporting coal and gas for 'as long as we need'. Coal accounts for 70 per cent of Queensland’s resources exports, amounting to nearly $72 billion. So we'll just send the coal to China to burn, and Australia keeps the 'net zero' tag? LOL. Excellent No surprise, the whole planet has been struggling to transition to renewables for 2 decades are emissions have actually increased. All we have is targets not met and broken promises, what are govt will do differently is still unknown. 🤔
