The First Nations Political Party (FNPP) is being launched by Maurie Japarta Ryan, grandson of stockman Vincent Lingiari, who led the 1966-75 walk-off from Wave Hill station, then owned by British Lord Vestey.
Maurie Japarta Ryan, a Gurindji elder, has worked towards forming an Indigenous political party since he taught at a school in the remote Top End community of Kalkaringi in the Northern Territory, some 30 years ago.
