WfaAR sadly records the death of determined republican Ningali Cullen, known to many as Audrey Kinnear. Ningali, born on traditional lands in South Australia but who later lived and worked in Canberra, was a link between the republic and reconciliation movements (National Sorry Day Committee Indigenous co-chair and Journey of Healing). She campaigned strongly for both and was a member of ARM’s National Council for several years. “Ningali is in the Dreamtime right now organising for a republic” [Derick Cullen, 19 May 2012].
