From the Northern Territory News:
RADIO Larrakia is being investigated after a complaint was lodged with the Workplace Ombudsman.
Aboriginal artist Dotty Fejo has complained about the indigenous broadcaster and community organisation’s work practices after working there for two years.
She said she had worked for the “media and arts section” of the organisation as an indigenous broadcaster and as an artist.
She said she used to paint in a demountable outside the station.
But Radio Larrakia chief executive Donna Odegaard denied the station employs artists and said Ms Fejo had been on CDEP before being employed as an indigenous broadcast training consultant last year.
Radio Larrakia’s website has a “Media & Arts” section listing a variety of Aboriginal paintings for sale – with the radio station’s logo at the top.
