Kenneth Gilbert

Director

Meet our Director, Kenny!

From a family of four sisters and married with three children, Kenneth is driven to give a voice to his community and knows it’s time for cultural leaders to talk for their Country and their people, identify their needs and aspirations, and take ownership of decision-making in the community. Kenneth will work as a director to bring better service to Doomadgee, and he is honoured to be able to help the community. He believes that this new way of working together will strengthen and improve the lives of the people of Doomadgee, including addressing the lack of cultural practices in service delivery across the community.

For the community to have a voice at the table, Kenneth knows that he needs to work hard with all the other team members to ensure culture is always at the forefront of decisions and programs relating to education, children’s wellbeing, housing, healthcare and employment. As a Director, Kenneth dedicates himself to the task of bringing improved services to Doomadgee. He considers it a profound honour to be able to contribute to the betterment of his community.

Meet our Director, Murray!

Doomadgee, as the beloved home of Murray, a proud Gangalidda man, it holds a special place in his heart. As a Director of the esteemed Gunawuna Jungai, Murray stands tall, driven by a burning desire to shape the destiny of his community. He has witnessed, for far too long, the transient nature of government and non-government entities entering and exiting Doomadgee without seeking the permission of its people, making a connection, or leaving a lasting impact. This unprecedented opportunity to be a key player in the future of his people has propelled Murray to wield his voice to sculpt the future of his beloved community.

With his Indigenous language and natural ability to understand his people, Murray will eloquently explain how Gunawuna Jungai will serve his people to all who ask. This cause resonates deeply within him, amplified as he witnesses his nine-year-old daughter’s growth and her heightened awareness of the world that surrounds her. Murray and his partner Laurelle, from the Waanyi clan, share the universal aspiration of all parents – to leave behind a world that is better for the generations that follow. Murray has observed his community transform without the consent of its people, but he is resolute in his determination to put an end to this cycle. Murray is passionate in his commitment to advocating for his community’s interests. His dedication serves as a beacon of hope, ensuring that his voice echoes with strength and passion on behalf of his people.
