In this conversation, Dr Sarah Casey is joined by Sally Rigney, a strong, articulate, and seriously clever rural woman. Sally lives on a property called Myall Plains which is eight kms from Nindigully in the Balonne Shire. Nindigully is a name synonymous with the South West. It’s the home of an iconic pub. And film featuring Hugh Jackman!
Sally and her family live on grazing country with Angus cows and they have a feedlot. Sally spent her earlier life in Goondiwindi and Texas. Later she spent many years away from her beloved Southern Qld, working with ABC as a journalist in the beef capital, Rockhampton among other places. Then Sally went to the national capital, Canberra, to continue her career before returning north.
Sally chats with Sarah about the loss of media outlets and the difficulty for rural voices and rural stories to be heard. This is one story you don’t want to miss.
