  4. [🚫 no coloniser comments 🚫]

    Angus Taylor says the Welcome to Country is "overused".

    You heard it, guys. We need to stop welcoming colonisers, and just tell them to fuck right off.

  5. CW: #HateSpeech #Racism #ANZACday #Auspol

    In case anyone was under any illusions about the intentions of the 'hate speech' laws passed by federal and state governments in recent months, consider the official governmental and media responses to the campaign of hateful racist booing of Aboriginal elders at ANZAC Day ceremonies around the continent today.

    In Gadigal/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne, Tarndanya/Adelaide and Boorloo/Perth, organised groups of racist hecklers jeered and booed as Aboriginal elders (many of them also ADF veterans) gave a Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country. The campaign was organised by some of the same far-right white supremacists behind the recent 'March for (White) Australia' rallies.

    In the flurry of media reporting and comments from politicians about how disgraceful the booing was, or saying how booing "misses the point", I have not managed to find a single article mentioning the obvious application of the new draconian hate speech laws to this very situation. Nor did I see a single call for prosecution from a politician. (Nor calls for politicians who have encouraged such hate to resign.)

    The double standard has always been obvious. But at times like this, it is utterly glaring.

    Going to start posting more about our HE journey :)

    My daughter is 16 in June and has been HE since she was 13 due to an unsupportive school environment where her difficult menstrual cycles and social anxiety were punished.

    Today, she watched a documentary about the Outback (Surviving the Outback) and practiced some piano scales before doing some work on her Music course with #openlearn which is an amazing resource for older home edders.

    This evening she will help me cook dinner, and wants to watch another doc later about #Aboriginal history/culture as the previous doc peaked her interest. Not sure which yet so open to suggestions :)

  7. My verto disability officer (who is from London) was asking me how my trip to the UK was, and then she started talking about how "it's changed because ✨the population✨ has changed".

    She then went on to talk about how she has friends who live there who told her how some of ✨the new population✨ moved into their village and are changing everything. She complained about how hundreds of years of tradition were being undone by ✨new people✨ moving in and bringing their own traditions with them and how horrid that is.

  11. Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.

    Shocked.

    _____

    Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.

    In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.

    However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".

    Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".

    "I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.

    Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.

    Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

  13. Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.

    NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.

    Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.

    Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.

  14. 🛰️🇦🇺 A massive geoglyph depicting an #Aboriginal Australian hunter mysteriously appeared in the South Australian #outback in 1998, measuring 3.5 km across and visible from #space. Despite investigations and a cash reward offer, the creator remains unknown, though theories include Adelaide artist Bardius Goldberg or American military personnel from a nearby base.

  18. A loaf of bread in Aurukun can be as much as $7-8; a 1.8kg frozen beef roast around $80 and a bag of frozen vegetables $8.

  19. -> land restitution, curriculum reform & most importantly, justice through treaties. It calls on the Victorian Government to honour the truth by acting, not just acknowledging.

  20. #Australia - Native '#superfood' #grasses used to create flour, beer growing in popularity

    By Fiona Broom, August 27, 2024

    "Just three years ago, Chris Harris was using an old metal bed frame to shake out the tiny seeds that hide in native #KangarooGrass.

    "The #AncientGrains can be roasted, brewed or ground into high-protein flour for baking.

    " 'I spent a lot of time on my country — #Ngiyampaa country — with my pop, my dad, my mum and aunties and uncles,' Mr Harris said.

    "Mr Harris has made flour out of #WattleSeed, as well as #MitchellGrass, #ButtonGrass and #KangarooGrass.

    "He has sent native flours and seeds to kitchens across the country for the past two-and-a-half years but said he was looking at ways to expand his operations.
    From builder to bush foods

    "Mr Harris is the farm manager at #BlackDuckFoods, an #Aboriginal social enterprise at #Mallacoota on Victoria's far eastern border with New South Wales.

    "The farm, named #Yumburra — the Yuin word for the black duck native to the Mallacoota region — was set up by award-winning author Bruce Pascoe, whose book Dark Emu shone a spotlight on the lost history of #AboriginalFood systems.

    "Mr Harris was a plasterer with an Aboriginal construction company when first visited the property about four years ago.

    "But he said after discussing bush foods with Mr Pascoe, he realised his future would be as a farmer and native foods educator.

    " 'I'd been talking a lot to him about the lilies, the murnong, and the grains and he'd seen a real interest that I had in the native food space,' Mr Harris said.

    "In the past few years, the small team has grown its knowledge of the ancient grains at their former beef farm on the banks of the Wallagaraugh River.

    "They have encouraged the return of the #NativeGrasses, wattles and #tubers that produce the nutritious ingredients that foodies across the country are learning to love."

  22. Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.

    A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.

    Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

  24. NT #CLP government 'dismantles' #treaty plans, ending seven-year process

    The decision has been met with disappointment by long-term fighters for a treaty.

    Michael Gunner agreed in 2018 to set up a treaty with #Aboriginal people.

    Opposition Leader Selena Uibo, a former treaty minister under the former Labor government, said the abandonment of treaty ignored 30 years of advocacy in the NT.
