Bobby Secretary

Bobby Secretary also known as Koolamurinee or Gwilamarinyi (1929 - 11 November 1984) was a Larrakia man and Aboriginal land rights leader and activist from Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.

He was instrumental in the fight for Kulaluk in Darwin and, as a part of the activism for the granting of this land to the Larrakia people he organised multiple protests in various forms, including the 1972 Larrakia Petition.

Secretary and Gwalwa Daraniki continued to protest and, in 1972, created the Larrakia Petition of which he was the first signatory; this is recongnised as being one of the most significant documents created by Aboriginal activists. This petition was for the Larrakia people but it was also designed to be a national effort and it included signatures from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from around Australia.

Throughout the remainder of the 1970s Secretary continued to advocate for Kulaluk and, on 23 August 1979, a special purpose lease was granted over . Secretary was one of the people to endorse this lease and it was later changed, to give the Larrakia people greater rights, to a Crown Lease in perpetuity.

Secretary died on 11 November 1984 and is buried at Kulaluk.

Personal life Secretary was married to Bessie Murine and they had no children.
