Ex Fed Police Officer leaves a large Indigenous organisation in debt

The Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation is in administration, leaving hundreds of employees fearing for their future and community pride shattered. In the past, the BAC won national recognition for services to outstations, employment for Indigenous rangers and support for highly successful Indigenous artists. But in less than three years the BAC has gone from a strong financial position to what's believed to be millions of dollars in debt.

The outgoing CEO, Luke Morrish, is an ex Federal Police Officer from Canberra. He first arrived in Manigrida in 2007 as the government business manager, the regional head of the federal intervention, before joining the BAC as the CEO.
