Description

He's a voice heard across the Pacific airwaves each weekday morning.

Jacob Simil McQuire co-hosts Radio Australia's Nesia Daily program, and he's known for his quick wit and quips.

But as well as being a journalist and a broadcaster, he's a community builder.

A proud Darumbal and South Sea Islander man, Jacob's the glue in so many spaces he walks through.

His message? "We're still here".

Wendy Mocke explores what makes Jacob tick.
