Maurice Rioli was the first Indigenous Australian to win the Norm Smith Medal and later transitioned into politics.

He served as the Labor Member for Arafura in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 1992 to 2001, focusing on community development and Indigenous affairs.

Rioli achieved national acclaim as an Australian rules footballer, earning the Norm Smith Medal in 1982, was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, and after his political career, contributed to community services on the Tiwi Islands.

Australia uses preferential voting for the House of Representatives.

Instead of choosing just one candidate, voters rank candidates in order of preference. This helps ensure the winning candidate has majority support from voters.

There are 3 levels of Government: Local, State, and Federal.

๐Ÿ“Œ Local council is like your community fishing spot.
๐Ÿ“Œ State government is like the bigger river system (WA).
๐Ÿ“Œ Federal government connects all the waters together (Australia).

When you understand who looks after what, youโ€™re better equipped to speak up about the things that matter to you.

Did you know there are over 7,000 polling places during a federal election?

Voting is designed to be as accessible as possible for people right across Australia. Schools, community halls, and local centres turn into polling booths so most voters can cast their vote close to home. Itโ€™s a huge, well-coordinated effort that helps make election day run smoothly for millions of Australians.

Some places on Country are special not just because of what they give, but because of how theyโ€™ve been cared for over generations, and what they mean to us. Knowledge is shared, responsibility is passed on, and that care continues.

Looking after our voice works the same way. Staying involved, speaking up when things arenโ€™t right, and protecting our right to have a say keeps it strong for the little ones coming up.

When we care for whatโ€™s been passed down, we protect the future.
