Beautiful, strong words from Arrernte leader William Tilmouth 🫶
In accepting the 2025 Australian Human Rights Medal, Arrernte leader William Tilmouth spoke powerfully about hope for our children and the futures they deserve. This moment comes from a wider reflection on human rights, responsibility and care.
These words speak to the values that guide William’s life and leadership and to the future our communities continue to build for the next generation.
