| |  | Join Larissa for Reconciliation Week |
|
Hello everyone,
I was delighted to be invited to lead an important conversation for this year’s Reconciliation Week. Reconciliation takes many forms and one of the more challenging is the repatriation of First Nations peoples’ ancestral remains and cultural artifacts, taken from their communities over many years by museums and private collectors.
In The Journey Home – Reconciliation Through Repatriation, a panel of experts in museum curation and heritage join me to explain the context around the removal of ancestral remains and sacred objects. We ask why they were taken, who holds them and where, and we explore the sensitive processes involved in returning them to their communities.
It’s a fascinating conversation that provides insight into the important role their return can play in promoting healing, truth telling and reconciliation.
Please join me for this thought-provoking discussion on Nightlife at 10pm on Thursday 27May, or on this week’s Speaking Out at 9pm on Sunday 30 May. You can also catch it on iView from Thursday 27 May onwards.

|
| The power of floodwaters is plain to see for residents of the Hawkesbury, as it was overrun by water during the extraordinary weather event in March. Large sections of the main road, which connects residents to their houses, washed away — and the thoroughfare is yet to be repaired. As Mayor Patrick Conolly puts it simply "This recovery has got a long way to go." | | READ MORE |

|
NSW is accelerating its rollout of the Pfizer vaccination with the announcement of 25 new sites. These sites are now taking bookings for people aged 40 to 49. |

 |
We've probably all heard the line that COVID-19 vaccinations are the best way to reopen Australian businesses and borders, yet Australians aged over 50 are biding their time for the jab. Here's why some over 50s aren't booking in. |

 | Broccoli, feta and haloumi pie with filo pastry |
|
This recipe is a wonderfully simple broccoli, feta and haloumi pie which is rather effortless to put together and absolutely delivers on flavour. It requires no special pie dish as it utilises the humble baking tray and is as rustic as they come. The filo pastry is the real time saver here as all it requires is a little brushing of butter to create crispy, flaky layers of pastry. |
