@kottke this reminds a lot of the exhibition I am going to see today
"Australian artist #PeterDrew has placed thousands of his distinctive #AUSSIE posters on streets across the country. The White Australia policy introduced in 1901 empowered immigration officials to force would-be migrants to do a dictation test in any prescribed language. Most of the AUSSIES in Drew’s work were seeking an exemption from the test."

No, I'm not watching #AustralianStory because I have a thesis to grade.

Settling in for #AustralianStory on 60 Years of Play School
Looking back on the Queensland Gives awards, got us all nostalgic for another anniversary from the same time. Today in 2023, ABC television in Australia aired a special episode of "Australian Story" - the first with Audio Description - featuring NV Access founders Mick Curran and Jamie Teh. You can still watch the episode here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-05/mick-curran-jamie-teh-changing-lives-of-the-blind-with-nvda/101768788
Come and watch it again with us! (Links to the episode at the bottom of that article).
I know Australian Story is meant to be uplifting but I had the opposite reaction to last night’s Rachel Ward. That neglect as a child has life long effects. That seeking validation in fame for whatever cause is also completely damaging. Somehow you have to disconnect yourself from that need for validation #abctv #AustralianStory

"I think people want people with disability to be inspiring. And I think that's a shame... There are are moments of tenderness and there are moments of precariousness".
Amen to that. #AustralianStory
I had every intention of watching #AustralianStory with a sense of nostalgia and kindness.
I have finished watching that show with the sanitised expression, "what a tosser".

I think the story of miniature Dachshund, Valerie, is just gorgeous and hilarious. I don't even care how she survived. I'm just glad she's home. #AustralianStory
oh for fucks sake. What has the death of his mother got to do with the fact his dad came from overseas? And lets not forget the #AustralianStory Bob did where he talked about his Lebanese heritage openly. Now he apparently hates talking about it? Nothing to do with the issue? #auspol #insiders
Today's #AustralianStory, showing examples of women at risk of homelessness building tiny homes was joyous. I've been a tiny home fan for years. This is how you deal the housing crisis.

@luciedigitalni I ‘was doing other things’ on my laptop and had #730 on in the background after the #ABC local news. Technically, I was actually waiting for #AustralianStory. I was gritting my teeth as I *really* dislike that Spears twit - he is absolutely the definition of an overly smug ‘useless idiot’.
Then he started introducing Pezzullo and I simply turned the tv off until 8PM.
