The prime minister arrived in Indonesia, the Reserve Bank is holding interest rates and Vanessa Hudson takes over as Qantas boss.
Toy dolls made from seashells, a map made from turtle shells and other Indigenous heritage items have been handed back to members of a remote northern Australian community as part of renewed efforts among British museums to decolonise their collections.
One of the highlights of the collection being returned is a group of dolls made from shells - dadikwakwa-kwa in the Anindilyakwa language - which have helped unlock a rich cultural history. Professor Peter Worsley had purchased, traded, and acquired the collection while undertaking fieldwork on the island for his PhD thesis on Aboriginal kinship in the early 1950s.
Worsley abandoned his career in anthropology after the British and Australian intelligence services curtailed his travels through Africa and the then Territory of Papua New Guinea because of his communist sympathies.
