Danny Chapman is a Walbunga man from the Yuin nation and the Councillor for the South Coast at the NSW Aboriginal Land Council. He joined Amy McQuire on the programme to talk about Aboriginal cultural fishing rights in his homelands. Aboriginal people are currently being slapped with heavy fines and jail time for exercising their right to cultural fishing, and it is an issue that the NSW government is dragging its feet on resolving. That’s despite passing legislation to recognising Aboriginal cultural fishing in 2009, amendments that have not yet been enacted.
