We are saddened by the loss of Mr Bostock, a pioneer in First Nations filmmaking in this country. We send our condolences to his loved ones at this difficult time. Mr Bostock was a tireless voice for First Nations people, inspiring and mentoring those who walked with him and those who followed him. A Bundjalung man from Box River Reserve in New South Wales, Mr Bostock was unable to read or write when he left school at just 13. Undeterred, he returned to education as an adult and became a teacher. 

Mr Bostock is regarded as a pioneer of Indigenous media in Australia. He helped to set up Radio Redfern, was involved in creating the first Indigenous theatre group, and was the first Aboriginal presenter on SBS Radio. Suffering from an accident in the 1950s and needing to have his leg amputated, Mr Bostock worked to raise awareness of the unmet needs of Aboriginal people with disabilities. He played important roles in many Indigenous disability and community organisations and was part of the 1967 referendum campaign and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
Rest in peace.
