SA Voice update

AW spoke to Voice representative Douglas Clinch Jr about his experience and early expectations in regards to the inaugural SA Voice to Parliament.

Born and raised in the southern suburbs of Adelaide on Kaurna Country, Mr Clinch has worked in the Aboriginal community sector for over 30 years, including his current role as chair of Neporendi Aboriginal Forum Incorporated.

At time of interview, he was working as a project officer in the Attorney Generals department and also credits his time working in the Wardliparingga unit at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) as influential towards his decision to nominate himself for the SA Voice.

During our chat with Mr Clinch we spoke about the preliminary function of the Voice, initial expectations and what we can expect in future.
