Triple J TV recently broadcast a story featuring Aboriginal
singer Delson Stokes Junior, who teamed up with musicians from the
Panics and the Lazy Calm to create a song about the impacts of
inhalant use on young people. Delson, from the Kalgoorlie
area, wants to make a pop anthem that will reach the masses of
young people - both Indigenous and non-indigenous. Delson has
personal experience of the impacts of petrol sniffing, having had a
close childhood friend develop problems from petrol sniffing.
The video features interviews with Delson and goes behind the
scenes as they make the film clip and perform in communities around
Kalgoorlie.
