Booka's Backstory
Willie Booka, the great grandfather of one of our founders David Bensley, was born on the Island of Epi, Vanuatu. He was an indentured labourer stolen from his community (Blackbird slave) in 1903 to cut cane and small crops in QLD.
Willie and Emily (1873 -1951, born in Gunnedah), a domestic servant, met in the Tweed because of the large South Sea Islander and First Nations Bundjalung communities.
He married and had three children with Emily Booka. One of which was David Bensley's grandmother Emily Walsh (1911 – 1990). Emily’s grandfather (Jimmy Williams – Kamilaroi man) worked on Thomas Haydon’s Station (or Haydonton) – Murrurundi.

Freedom of Information as a Solution
Booka Consulting has partnered with Nuix to deliver their enterprise document discovery capability that allows the search for FOI-requested information to be quickly identified and gathered.
The search capability can locate over 1,000 file-types including legacy data holdings like Lotus and WordPerfect, voice and video, and even handwritten documents. The software can search for these files in multiple and complex locations such as email, private drives, shared drives, documents management stores, cloud stores; virtually anywhere. We can also drill down, and search attached files, documents within documents, and zipped files.
Our market testing has shown that the redaction of data is another of the major bottlenecks in the FOI process. The current method is labour-intensive, as it requires a full reading of each document followed by a manual redaction process of each offending item. The developed solution from Nuix can boost productivity by processing high volumes of data at speed. We can learn what needs to be flagged for possible redaction and highlight the item – once reviewed and accepted, the process is automatically taken care of.
In current times, organisation's face the challenge of managing huge volumes of confidential and unstructured data in a regulatory landscape that's constantly evolving. With unrivalled ability and the uniquely powerful Nuix Engine, the developed Artificial Intelligence and automated solutions will help you manage, protect, collaborate, and create value from your biggest data assets in real-time. Nuix Data Privacy solutions gives the forensic depth and defensibility needed to quickly identify the value and risk of sensitive data. This gives the data-intelligence required to continually monitor and protect your business and your customers, and meet compliance obligations. Additionally, other essential services provided by Nuix Data Privacy solutions include:
1. The ability to understand mass volumes and file formats of data with unmatched speed and accuracy.
2. Improved ability to identify confidential and sensitive data quickly from connected and remote devices.
3. The capability to analyse and visualise your data via sophisticated workflow management systems to drive more accurate decisions.
We can deliver this solution on-premise or in your cloud. Our services team will work closely with your FOI team to build the in-house skills to configure the search and redaction formats needed to drive accuracy. We offer this function as a service should you wish to free up your resources to focus on more rewarding tasks. We can provide the configuration and searching functions for our clients or provide onsite capability with a skills transfer program.
