Aboriginal people are asking to be heard, vote Yes in this referendum! #Yes23

[Alex Lewis Gargett @AlexGargett]

@AGargett Lol - @AGargett I’m keen to meet this kid who does everything we tell them to! 🤣🤣

[Jimmy Barnes @JimmyBarnes]

The upcoming referendum seems pretty simple to me. Do we want Indigenous Australians to be recognized in the constitution? And do we want to accept their request to be consulted about things that affect them?

I’m voting “Yes”. For more info click here: https://t.co/0ZqqMp0BQN

It’s been 56 years to the day since the 1967 Referendum. Now more than ever we need to remind ourselves of our collective strength, and the outcomes that we can achieve for a fairer future together.

In '67 we asked to be counted. In 2023 we're asking to be heard.

@AGargett So glad my dorky dancing expressions still inspire love heart eyes!😘

Language is a key that can bring us all closer together. Treaty can help drive a renewal in our Traditional languages through initiatives like dual place names. Check out the video our elected Assembly Members put together to mark #InternationalMotherLanguageDay.

Have loved looking at this thread over the weekend.

[First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria @firstpeoplesvic]

Here in the city, we’re still stuck in lockdown, but it’s Friday arvo so we’re day-dreaming about getting back out on Country. Do you have a special place you wish you were heading to this weekend? Share your pics & tell us #WhereYouWannaBe?

I am happy to be on my peoples’ Country, the land and rivers of my Bangerang Ancestors, the people of the tall trees. Come and visit me in Barmah National Park after the lockdown’s over. https://t.co/H9iZUoLPQb

Powerful piece on how atrocities of the past are still felt today — @KeiraJenkins2 visits Gayiri Country in Qld, where more than 300 First Peoples were murdered. As local Uncle Daryl says: “The truth needs to be told. We can’t keep living a lie." https://t.co/iSNcgsfYGK

@col1986 @AGargett For this moment, yes it was. Five seconds of bliss!

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.

[Alex Lewis Gargett @AlexGargett]

@wespryor_ @AGargett LOL - @AGargett leads the charge in that department. I dabble. And occasionally we talk face to face.

[Alex Lewis Gargett @AlexGargett]

@AGargett With the super smart @wespryor_ - great working on this piece together
