Torres Strait Islanders implore Australian Government to help save their ancestral homes

Laura Green spoke to Torres Strait Islander man from Masig (Yorke) Island and complainant to the UN Yessie Mosbie, about his communities’ struggle to be heard by their government. See their story here: https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/
