I’ve had numerous pp say to me in the past week ‘we have to take small steps... we have to acknowledge how have far we’ve come’ (in regards to racism). Like why? Can’t non-Indigenous people do faster? What are you waiting for? Why don’t you want better? What are you afraid of?

Because it needs to be said yet again…Indigenous people elected to Parliament (politicians) represent a defined electorate & different political platforms (political parties). They were not & are not elected to represent all Indigenous people in Australia. This is basic civics.

Hearing the deadly @AmyMcQuire speaking up strong, nailing issues & talking facts on @breakfast_news early this morning has fired me up to power on for the day! It’s so good hearing great journalism. 💜

Woke up to learn that the Australian Senate voted to effectively abolish the Family Court. This news will be deeply distressing today & in the days that follow for many in Australia. Families & children deserve much better! #Auspol #Children #Australia

Every few days I’ve been walking up a certain street on my daily walk to check out if this vine was flowering & today this is what I found! I’ll be going past it each day now to admire it until it finishes. I 🧡 it’s orange flowers!

It’s not the responsibility of Indigenous pp to do the jobs of non-Indigenous pp & to change the system established by you. Stop waiting for more Indigenous pp to ‘get through’. Do your jobs & make the changes that you have the power & control of to make! #LIMEConnection .

I’ve witnessed international students make valuable contributions to Australian unis, VET, communities & society. Their money supports jobs & living standards & they enrich our lives! This news must be worrying & heart breaking for these students & my heart is heavy for you.💜

Many more people need to ask themselves what they’re doing professionally & personally to change the systems & structures that maintain the privileges & unfair advantages of people from the dominant culture that makes it so hard for others, inc for Indigenous people?

In case you missed it, #Australia ’s TV show #QandA had a panel this week titled ‘All About Women’, which broadcasted nationally & did not include an Indigenous woman. Another eg on the long list of examples of the continued disregard, disrespect & exclusion of Indigenous women.

I got asked about my heart jewellery at the dry cleaners today. I spoke about the @UluruStatement . A person in the store was translating what I was saying for 2 others. I asked what language they were speaking & pulled up a translation in their language ❤️
