Turning a blind eye to exploitation in the food chain
"A national program protecting the rights of migrant workers has uncovered millions in unpaid wages, threats of visa cancellation and modern slavery."
"The first year of the $13.5 million scheme, run by the Home Affairs department, has uncovered millions in stolen wages, threats of visa cancellation and cases of "modern slavery" by Australian employers."
"It has identified $1.35 million in potential unpaid wage claims in NSW alone, as well as cases of exploitation and workplace injury where employers have breached the law." >>

Chief of War S01E07
shows how brutal white people can be
In this phenomenal series Jason Momoa has a Black American ally. They are both loyal to each other.
There are predominantly white movies / tv that still won't show Black People and POC positively.

Haven't found many West Papuans or Free West Papuan accounts on here yet, so rather than a starter pack have made a feed with some hashtags. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. #freewestpapua #westpapua #papuamerdeka #indonesia #melanesia #pasifika #genocide

#HealthMinister Shane Reti leads a review of a 1980s #affirmativeaction program for #Māori and #Pasifika medical students, he personally benefitted from.
#ACTParty #leader #DavidSeymour calls it "#racialdiscrimination," while #supporters defend its #effectiveness, deeming the #review as pointless.

There's a new(ish) video up on Austronesian languages - https://youtu.be/TAa9sT3qxaU - and this comment is such a callout for our people being too online lmao
(Context: for some reason, the word for 'five' is pretty consistently lima/ima/limo/imo across the languages in the family group)
ETA: the video also looks pretty interesting! I'll watch in a bit
