Dear Son: Indigenous Voices, Masculinity, and the Path to Justice

In this RNB Podcast, Michael Lester interviews Thomas Mayo, Torres Strait Islander writer, unionist, human rights advocate, and Uluru Statement signatory. They discuss Mayo’s edited collection Dear Son—letters between Indigenous fathers and sons that challenge toxic stereotypes about masculine identity. The conversation covers how the work has been adapted into a powerful stage play (touring nationally in 2025), the impact of the Voice referendum no vote, and Mayo’s book Always Was, Always Will Be: The Campaign for Justice and Recognition Continues (2024). A thoughtful exploration of Indigenous leadership, reconciliation, and ongoing advocacy for justice and recognition in Australia.
