Pilbara and Kimberley Regional Overview There are thirteen BRACS communities in this region, which covers a 2,500 km spread across the top of Western Australia, from Jigalong and Yandeyarra in the Pilbara, through the coastal communities of the West Kimberley and those of the Fitzroy Valley region, to Kalumburu and Oombulgurri in the northeast and Balgo in the southeast. Two of these (One Arm Point and Yiyili) have only recently had their services upgraded from mere satellite retransmission to full community broadcast and production capability and require start up training on site as soon as possible. Two communities are awaiting relocation of their units to more suitable buildings and one other is still to have its new radio desk installed. Many communities become cut off for extended periods during the wet season (December to March), which suspends or complicates delivery of training and technical installation, repair and maintenance services. There are five ATSIC Regional Councils within the region. Eight communities falling under Kullarri (West Kimberley) and Wunan (East Kimberley) Regional Councils have received no BRACS operating funding whatsoever for several years now, as can be seen from the table below. BRACS workers receive CDEP ($180 for 20 hrs/wk) and have, since 1996 only, been able to supplement this with Abstudy allowances ($193.60 p/wk) while doing the Batchelor BRACS Certificate course. Four regional indigenous radio stations broadcast from the Kimberley larger towns - Radio Goolarri in Broome, Wangki Yupurnanupurru in Fitzroy Crossing, Puranyangu Rangka Kerrem (PRK) in Halls Creek and Waringarri Radio in Kununurra. Waringarri Media have had their own fulltime community licence on 693 AM since 1993, the others are currently broadcasting on ABC windows, but have all been granted licences to commence their own fulltime services (AM in Fitzroy, FM in Broome and Halls Creek) in 1998. All four media associations wish to support and exchange programmes with BRACS communities in their respective regions as well as develop a Kimberley wide radio network. To this end an association of the four stations, the Kimberley Aboriginal Broadcasters Network (KABN), was incorporated in June 1994 and it was originally intended that this organisation, with a rotating secretariat, would administer BRACS Revitalisation Strategy (BRS) funding on behalf of the thirteen communities. However, in the first year of BRS funding (1994/5), the Kununurra ATSIC Regional Office refused to handle a multiregional grant to KABN’s secretariat at Waringarri Media and the funding went through the Broome office instead, to Broome Aboriginal Media Association (BAMA), who have continued to receive the grant on behalf of the BRACS communities since then. Goolarri Media Enterprises (GME) is a commercial company owned 100% by Broome Aboriginal Media Association (BAMA) which has taken over management of all BAMA projects, including BRACS, from 17th December 1997, although Revitalisation funds are “quarantined” for their intended purpose, ie: BRACS community support. Communities will continue to be consulted and informed on their expenditure through the establishment of a governing committee for a new regionally representative body, Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM), which was incorporated in February 1998. PAKAM represents the interests of all the BRACS communities and the four Kimberley radio stations of the region and will have its first Annual General Meeting on 7th and 8th July 1988. Prior to the implementation of the BRACS Revitalisation Strategy in 1995/6, communities in the region had only received on-site training for a maximum of ten weeks in 1989/90, when DEET funded a year’s training programme through Gunada Productions in Broome and Waringarri Media in Kununurra. Frank Rijavic conducted training in Yandeyarra, Jigalong and Warralong, Wayne Barker and Troy Albert in Bidyadanga, Djarindjin, Looma and One Arm Point, and Renee Romeril in Kalumburu, Oombulgurri, Warmun and Balgo. Some workshops were held in Djarindjin in 1992 and several operators enrolled in the Batchelor Certificate Course between 1993 and 1995, but few managed to complete. In the last two years, with the establishment of the Revitalisation and Co-ordination Unit in Broome, and the installation of radio desks and SVHS edit suites in all communities, twenty students have enrolled in the Batchelor Certificate Course, seven have graduated, and a new intake of about twenty-four students have just signed up to commence in July in a co-delivery arrangement with Batchelor. Some of our own training workshops have included multicam video recording of local indigenous bands at events like Nindji Nindji Festival in South Hedland, Derby Moonrise Rock,and Stompem Ground. The BRACS Crew also produced an NIDF 1 documentary about broadcasting in the region, entitled “Nyawa, Kulila, Wangka - Look, Listen, Speak”. Goolarri Media and PAKAM are keen to establish a regional radio network as quickly as possible, especially as with the launch of its fulltime FM service in July, Goolarri Radio will lose their bush audience, who currently listen to them on AM regional ABC windows. Phone interfaces are getting hooked up to phonelines in the BRACS units and a suitable satellite uplink is being negotiated. Goolarri TV is also due for launch on the 6th of June in Broome and it is hoped that this will be an incentive for community video producers to send in material and establish not only an indigenous community TV station in Broome, but a major video programme duplication and exchange service which could give all BRACS stations in the region a vastly increased available amount of culturally relevant television programming as well. Goolarri and PAKAM are also responsible for the development of an RTIF proposal called KimberleyNet which aims to give local call internet access to seven BRACS communities in the West Kimberley, and is also consulting on wider expansion of the Outback Digital Network throughout the region.
