“January 26 represents the beginning of dedicated attempts to wipe our people, our cultures, and our languages off the face of the planet.

It shouldn’t be surprising that throwing a party on that date is offensive to a lot of Aboriginal people.”

If the aim of a national holiday is to bring people together, then don’t hold it on a day that marks the arrival of the First Fleet - a date that causes hurt and pain to many people in our community! https://t.co/GlwCZKIYK9

Negotiations for the first Statewide Treaty are underway! Here's our first joint formal update with the Government https://t.co/CrKCbA7Nhb

We’re always out having yarns with the community all across the State to ensure Treaty is inclusive. Listen in to what some of the mob had to say.

When it comes to Aboriginal communities, cultures and lands, the experts are Aboriginal people! That’s why we want Treaty to ensure Aboriginal communities always have the ability to come up with and deliver practical solutions at a local level. Learn more: https://t.co/9iWFDSudKQ
