“I’d like to acknowledge the sovereignty of all First Nations people.” (Tiga Bayles beginning his Let’s Talk broadcast from radio 98.9 FM in Brisbane.)
I hope the legacy of Tiga Bales continues to nurture the brightest of futures for all the people influenced by his remarkable contribution to both indigenous and non-indigenous Australia.
Sincere condolences to all family and friends of Tiga Bayles
Yours sincerely, Ray Bergmann
