Audio: Nyoongar Embassy rejected WA's draft recognition bill

from Sovereign Union Hosted by As described

Gerry Georgatos and Warren Barnsley, National Indigenous Radio (NIR) Western Australia - The Nyoongar Tent Embassy in Perth has rejected the state Government's draft recognition bill, introduced into Parliament last week. The bill recognises the Nyoongar as the traditional owners of south-west and is a key component of the controversial Native Title settlement offer. Nyoongar woman and Embassy spokesperson Vanessa Culbong says the recognition means little and is part of a proposal intended to short change the Noongar people. She says the bill doesn't go far enough in terms of healing and rights.

Abdul Basit Muslim Central Qari Abdul-Basit ‘Abdus-Samad (1927–1988), or simpler known as Abdul Basit was a renowned Qari (reciter of the Quran). As such, many modern reciters try to imitate his style. Abdul Basit had won three world Qirat competitions in the early 1970s. Abdul Basit was one of the first huffaz to make commercial recordings of his recitations, and the first president of the Reciters' Union in Egypt. Abdul Basit is best known for his recitation of sura al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Qur'an, which is a key sura (chapter) in the five daily Islamic canonical prayers.
