I see that prioritising setting things as right as we can with our First Nations people would be a big step in acting respectfully and respectably.
And without getting that done, claims that we respect others or demands for others to respect us, are hollow.

Invasion Day 2026 ... nothing to celebrate about white supremacist colonial invasions. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land ... way past time for treaty and compensation from the thieving, genocidal coloniser. #TreatyNow #PayUpUK #auspol #InvasionDay #AIart
Here comes the dirty horse-trading between the two racist parties, the ALP & the LNP - massive irony given their historical & present white supremacism. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-18/status-of-hate-laws-uncertain-ahead-of-parliamentary-sitting/106242028 #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #TreatyNow
White supremacist Australia has a shared repulsive history and continuous genocide of Indigenous people with the ghastly criminal Israeli regime it protects. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-02/yoorrook-justice-inquiry-key-findings-takeaways/105483168 #auspol #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacism #TreatyNow
In Australia January 26 is a day to stand in solidarity with First Nations people calling for change and demanding Treaty, Truth- Telling, ending black deaths in custody and protecting cultural heritage. Where will you be standing in solidarity this Invasion Day? For more rally locations : https://antar.org.au/issues/survival-day/events-listing/

"Have other souls felt vulnerable and unconvinced their elected roles should be contingent on swearing fealty to a privileged foreign beneficiary of an anti-democratic hereditary system?" Doubt it. Hypocrisy has no bottom in our Parliament. But Deadeyes Dutton talking about "principle" had me laughing so hard snot came out of my nose.

That's pretty much how I saw it too.
And now I'm open to Lidia's vision of a treaty discussion happening.
TRUTH TELLING & TREATY FORUM
🗓️ Thursday 20th Jun 2024, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
🏤 Fitzroy Town Hall, 201 Napier St, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia (or via livestream)
💰 $0 (First Nations - Online and In-Person), $5 (Online), $5 (General Admission - Unemployed), $10 (General Admission - Employed) or $25 (General Admission - Solidarity)
💚 Following the devastatingly divisive Voice to Parliament last October, so-called Australians (Yes and Sovereign No/Abstaining voters alike) NEED to be advocating for Treaty and Truth Telling NOW.
🔗 https://events.humanitix.com/truth-telling-and-treaty-forum
Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.
This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.
We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.
Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."

We attended the Invasion Day Mourning Ceremony and welcome to Country this morning at Coburg Town hall. We heard stories of survival and resistance from Uncle Andrew Gardiner. We walked through the scented smoke from Manna gum leaves.
We walk with light paws on stolen land - sovereignty was never ceeded. 🐶🐶

“The survey found around 80 per cent of Australians believe the federal government should improve reconciliation and "undertake formal truth-telling processes".
“87 per cent of Yes voters think First Nations Australians should have a say in matters affecting them, which was hardly surprising, until researchers learned 76 per cent of No voters agreed.”
Australia's first racism register for First Nations people: Call It Out.

I watched You Can Go Now, this hilarious, fierce and brilliant documentary by world renowned, but unknown to white Australia, artist, Richard Bell. It’s directed by the much acclaimed, in every field she turns her attention to, Prof Larissa Behrendt.
An important watch for everyone living in a country that dispossessed its First Nations people.

Review: You Can Go Now is a scorching documentary about Indigenous artist Richard Bell

#auspol extreme racist cartoons in opinion-forming news media: yet another strong reason to vote yes for a #VoicetoParliament . Also #TreatyNow and #ReparationsNow . Australians are much better than their would-be opinion shapers.
This iconic #indigenous themed display in #kingsdomain #melbourne #australia is breathtaking, for mine.
The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.
What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?
The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.
I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.
For ‘ALL’.

When will the migaloos keep their promises? Still waiting - Hawke promised a treaty by 1990. Respect, Yunupingu. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-03/yunupingu-nt-aboriginal-land-rights-trailblazer-dies-age-74/102113102 https://youtu.be/Jf-jHCdafZY #TreatyNow #IndigenousX

“The story of Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner was very sad. Thanks for bringing us to this monument to hear Dr Joe Toscano talk about them, the European invasion in Victoria and what it means as part of truth-telling and treaty today which are equally as important as the Voice Referendum. They were #FreedomFighters“
Cheers to Lidia Thorpe - support for Treaty and full solidarity with Palestinians make a bad fit with wimpy liberal Greens. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-06/lidia-thorpe-to-quit-greens-over-voice-disagreement/101935534 #TreatyNow #IndigenousX
Right now, the RAAF has planes flying in formation over the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
It's appropriate that the armed forces are putting on a display today on Australia Day. Since white people settled here, we've been engaged in a genocidal war against Indigenous people. That war has never been officially declared over.
It's time for truth-telling.
It's time for our government to acknowledge the harm of colonialism.
It's time for a treaty.

Yet another #InvasionDay where we mourn the destruction of Australia's environment & Indigenous people by European capitalist colonialism. #VoiceToParliament is insufficient without a #TreatyNow.

This stand-alone building in #collingwood #Australia is wrapped entirely of #Australian #Indigenous art.
Painted by Ky-ya Nicholson-Ward, from the #Wurundjeri people.
The Wurundjeri people are Australian Aboriginal peoples from the #KulinNation. They are the Traditional Owners of the Birrarung (Yarra River) Valley, covering much of the present location of Narrm (Melbourne).
The messages are clear, and are supported wholeheartedly by the vast majority of #Australians; #AboriginalLivesMatter, #NoMoreDeathsInCustody and #truth, #justice and #healing.
I stand in solidarity with our traditional owners of the land; #Australias #Indigenous peoples past, present and emerging.

with the caveat that i am a white person assuming the right to discuss this at all (i will dig up some First Nations responses in due course);
the very existence of the referendum question;
the very existence of Australia/ Constitution
assumes “might is right” OR “white superiority” OR “it’s done now best suck it up and make the mist of it” OR something else that makes it okay to decide how to provide or manage a Voice in the first place.
without an Australian government treaty / or someone ceding sovereignty there can be no “contract” between First Nations and Australia
this whole process will have the MORAL authority of a fart in a windstorm
ESPECIALLY given this is being decided NOT by ALL First Nations together but by a (carefully? 🤔) selected handful of First Nations people and a bunch of white (vested?🤔) interests.

Only in Australia could they justify a referendum proposing more of the same paternalism in the name of greater Indigenous participation in decision making.
Only 0.15% of First Nations people were consulted in the Referendum Council Regional Dialogues.
0.03% of First Nations people was deemed a consensus at the National Constitutional Convention.
People were kept out, shut out and walked out.
This is what the Government thinks Indigenous participation in decision making means.
Ignoring voices for 234 years.
