Not the date to celebrate - Uncut with Taylah Gray

Today's bonus episode is about Jan 26. Currently a public holiday recognised as 'Australia Day.' But Invasion Day is a day of mourning for First Nations people and many other Australians.


Joining us is proud Wiradjuri woman Taylah Gray who is currently completing her PhD on native title and sovereignty. In this episode we unpack what Taylah's childhood looked like with a particular insight into her education and how she became a lawyer and started her doctorate.

Taylah articulates the complexities of 'celebrating' what it is to be Australian and how the date represents a long history of genocide and disposition for First Nations people. Tay also suggests ways in which we can be true allies and show support. Something that was particularly nuanced for us was the conversation surrounding the pressure that First Nations people can feel when they're expected to be the mouthpiece for every political issue in this country; the assumption of being educated about every legal issue affecting Black people.


To show our gratitude for Taylah's knowledge and time, Life Uncut has donated $1000 to the Aboriginal Legal Service. You can check them out here: https://www.alsnswact.org.au/
