“…using judgements from First Nations community annotators to identify anti-First Nations hate. This matters because deciding what counts as racism cannot be separated from the experiences of the people being targeted.”
Indeed. So obvious, yet regularly ignored.

I call BS on the ‘Tenure’ excuse for 50 years of deliberate neglect. It is their land… #NeverCeded. These ‘stewards of country’ were ejected from their traditional home. The National Park is a ‘colonial law’ artefact. At every turn, with every govt, the abject neglect was/is a political decision and a lack of ‘duty of care’. Had the victims been ‘white’ it would have been resolved decades ago. That’s #Racist #Australia in the raw people. #Destitution is a political decision. Shame on all voters for allowing this to go on since #Invasion. Shame on the #WA #Labor govt…
Bugger the ‘white’ red tape WA, get it done, now.
#HumanRights
This keeps happening, over and over. What’s ‘lucky’ about this country? Who’s benefit is served by this total lack of compassion and care? It’s criminal behaviour at best, #racist and #genocidal if allowed to continue.

“Black, a Bidjara and Ghungalu man, is here most afternoons, enthusiastically telling tourists about the area’s Aboriginal history. He shows them artefacts he’s found in the mountains: axe heads, grinding stones, crude but effective knives chipped from stone – all rattling around in a Coles shopping basket on the back seat of his LandCruiser.
“I’ll tell you the real story – the one that’s not in the history books,” he says.”
Another #TruthTelling from the Guardian’s The Descendants Series.
“Cullin-la-ringo was a turning point in Queensland’s history, paving the way for “warfare” between First Nations peoples and the settlers over control of the state’s north. It would claim the lives of tens of thousands of Indigenous people over the decades that followed. Some groups, including the Gayiri, never recovered.”
Nothing I can type here will do justice to history and the need to get it out in the open. Best you read the article(s) in this series yourself and bear witness to thie Continent’s recent past.

Laughed out loud at this headline. #stupidwhitebastard #australia
In WA that's almost a term of endearment.
The actual story not so funny. #ivotedyes
Who's going to start the Voice indigenous political party. I would vote for a senator in that one.
As frustrated as I am by the result of the #referendum , I'll respect A Week of Silence, a somber voice of reason from Indigenous Australians.

"We are calling A Week of Silence from tonight (Saturday 14th October) to grieve this outcome and reflect on its meaning and significance. We will not be commenting further on the result at this time."
The referendum did not divide this country: it exposed it. Now the racism and ignorance must be urgently addressed https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/15/the-referendum-did-not-divide-this-country-it-exposed-it-now-the-racism-and-ignorance-must-be-urgently-addressed?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #ivotedyes #referendum #racism #ignorance #VoicetoParliament
