During the past two decades he has played an integral role in developing traditional and commercial fisheries in the Torres Strait and has held many community-based roles. As well as being a member of the National NAIDOC Committee, he is also a Director at Reconciliation Australia, the Indigenous Engagement Lead for the From the Heart campaign and a Director at My Pathway. Kenny is grateful to have opportunities to represent his people and region and to contribute to the advancement of First Nations peoples more broadly.
