A man on a mission of spreading hope for Aboriginal children in out of home care

Our Mundai Mundai (beautiful) country has reclaimed her traditional name back. Fraser Island, is now called “Kgari” - Paradise in our language. We can now be reminded of the beautiful meaning of K’Gari instead of being reminded of the unthinkable horrors that happened to our mob

After years of struggling to understand who he was or where his place in the world was, Butchulla and Gawara man @DaweIsaiah is now using his personal experiences to help Aboriginal kids find their path. He’s this week’s Changemaker. @IDKnowYourself1

#ICYMI: "Resilience is a muscle. You go to the gym, you train. You feel weak, just like our life's challenges. But if you push through, you reach that challenge again, you know how to adapt." - @DaweIsaiah

What can we learn about resilience from kids? #TheDrum

Had an amazing time on the ‘Reshaping Australia Dialogues’ series with @financialreview and @microsoft. @MStutch moderated the series, the starting speech was by Genevieve Bell and the live panellists were @parnellpalme, @Lindsay_Rae_M and myself.

Fantastic time with @bairdjulia on @TheDrum tonight. Important discussions took place between the panel about the need for hope in our community, the protests, the over representation of our mob and raising the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14 as recommended by the UN

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

"Evidence demonstrates that once children come into the justice system, more harm is caused by them being part of [it]." - @AxCheryl.

The minimum age of criminal responsibility in Australia is just 10 y.o. The #RaiseTheAge campaign is hoping to change that. #TheDrum

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

Is Victoria’s aged-care system in crisis? Tonight: there are 683 #COVID cases in 70+ aged care homes across the state. As Premier Daniel Andrews ramps up health messaging, we ask: where does the responsibility lie? #TheDrum

@MicrosoftAU @feraldata @Lindsay_Rae_M @parnellpalme Cannot wait, I’m looking forward to it!

2020 Reconciliation Week is ‘In this together’. Over 400 Aboriginal deaths in custody in Australia and we still haven’t seen any accountability... “it’s not what you know, it’s what you do that matters”. We need to truly reconcile here too, not just America

If lock down happens, my heart goes out to the children who live in homes with abusive parents and empty fridges where school is their safe place

As I was 17 years old I received a random text message from my foster carer saying I was no longer able to live with them, I had no idea what to do, didn’t know any of my family, didn’t have a job, I didn’t have anything. This exciting project ‘Foyer Central’ will be the change !
