His passion is to look after his communities, to make sure the traditional country is legislated and protected under enormous pressure from current NSW Government legislation still impacting our traditional country.

Laurie lives in a large mining, wine and tourism industry in the Hunter and now sees his role in building a future Aboriginal industry, supporting youth, emerging elders, current elders and to reduce the high levels of youth and incarceration levels across the region to create an economic future for all Aboriginal people living in Wonnarua Country.
