Locals are fighting to save Redfern’s National Centre for Indigenous Excellence which is set to close in a matter of days. 

It provides teenagers with tutoring and job skill lessons, – and parents rely on it for out-of-school care.

It’s all due to a breakdown in negotiations between the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation – and the NSW Aboriginal Land Council.

Local Indigenous Activist Shane told Ben Fordham they will stage a sit-in on Monday.

“This place has done amazing stuff for people, young, old, black, white and it’s helped people heal.”
