Join us for this week's Community Newsroom. 

On this week’s show, we hear from former Australian Forces member David Baikie, as he reflects on his time in service and what ANZAC Day means today.

Mia Armitage sits down with Ballina Shire Mayor Sharon Cadwallader to talk about how crown lands are managed, new changes and what that could mean for local communities.

The Wire's Eduardo Jordan speaks with Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly about the vital role migrants play in opening businesses and shaping Australia’s economy.

We also dive into the environment, with Water Expert Ian Wright from University of Sydney. We unpack the growing issue of microplastics in NSW waterways and see if it's already too late to implement change. 

Plus, Tune FM’s Ash Taylor reports on a new approach to detecting trafficked wildlife in shipping containers, speaking with Georgia Moloney from University of Adelaide about innovations like sniffer dogs and air extraction technology.

And finally, we look to the coast - as Chris Weir from the Department of Primary Industries explains new artificial reefs being installed along NSW, aimed at boosting marine life and fishing tourism.

You won’t want to miss it!
