Indigenous perspectives are rarely foregrounded in national policy debates. Australia has a long history of imposing solutions on First Nations communities and expecting increased economic participation and social inclusion to follow. This is a domain of quick fixes that more often reinforce historical injustice, rather than engage in the long-term project of listening to and being led by Australia\u2019s diverse First Nations communities.<\/p>\n

To help address this gap on the digital and defence policy front, ASPI\u2019s International Cyber Policy Centre IndigiCyber, Defence and Space<\/a> program is launching \u2018IndigiCyber Conversations<\/a>\u2019, a thought leadership series of podcasts, articles and interviews.<\/p>\n

This series aims to celebrate the unique skills and perspectives of First Nations Australians at all levels of seniority in discussions on both digital issues that affect them and on the Indigenous experience in participating in Australia\u2019s broader environment.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the series will explore ways in which Indigenous communities can lead partnerships with government on solutions to digital challenges.<\/p>\n

This first conversation between Wulli Wulli<\/a> computer scientist Benjamin Sylvester Millar<\/a> from the Australian National University and Indigenous engagement expert Dion Devow <\/a>is relevant to all organisations trying to attract diverse talent and participate in a reconciliation journey.<\/p>\n
