## Resource

Prime Minister Albanese skips Garma this year, breaking his promise to attend every year as PM — a blow to Yolngu hosts and fans of his consistent presence since 2019. While his absence stings, other ministers like Penny Wong will step in. Critics like Professor Megan Davis remind us that real commitment lies in policy, not just appearances — and Garma remains a vital stage for Indigenous culture and dialogue.
