 | Bruce Lee's 'Fist of Fury' helps Indigenous language kick on |
|
This summer, immerse yourself in an Indigenous language dub of Bruce Lee's iconic film - Fists of Fury. The Noongar language of the First Nations people of Western Australia is spoken by just two per cent of Noongar people. As part of the 2021 Perth Festival program, the Indigenous language dub of the 70s classic aims to invigorate interest in the endangered language with its themes of fighting injustice and loyalty to community. |

 | Christmas appeal success! |
|
Thanks to our wonderful ABC Radio listeners, we have raised over $45,000 for Vinnies WA in our Christmas Appeal! Plenty of fun was had along the way, with Gillian O'Shaugnessy busking on the streets of Perth and regional Drive presenter Andrew Collins writing a new version of the '12 Days of Christmas'. The South West had a special visit from 'Stanta Shaws' and ABC Goldfields busted out a Christmas TikTok in the spirit of fundraising! All money raised helps Vinnies continue to support struggling Western Australian families. It's not too late to participate - online donations are open until 31 December if you would like to donate. |
