Bungandidj Man and Former Police Officer Nick Buenen unpacks his life as a brother who has walked and worked in two worlds.

We discuss what it’s like to have parents and grandparents from the “mission” and to move from that environment at a young age.

Nick shares about not identifying as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person when joining the police force. He eventually was found out by an aunty who spotted him playing in the local Indigenous football team.

We finish discussing some crazy police stories, one involving Nick calling in a brother for some bush tracking, and Nick’s time working abroad.

The pod concludes as we discuss current enterprise opportunities for Indigenous Australians, and some exploits people have been using to leverage this, and what can be done to stop this.
