Where’s all the Liberal & National party members who worked towards & supported the bill that the LNP originally supported in Parliament? Where’s the people who wanted truth telling before the voice? Don’t let Indigenous people be used as a political football! #Qldpol #Qld

@RCSLT So very sad to hear this news about the fabulous Carole Pound - a pioneer & an inspiration who changed aphasiology. Her humour was unmatched and I’m remembering my wonderful visits to Connect and her visits to Australia where getting to know her was a privilege. Vale Carole!

Let's take a moment to highlight the unique challenges women face when it comes to brain injuries. At Synapse we're shining a light on an important issue: the connection between brain injuries and domestic violence.💜

Today, at the conclusion of Reconciliation Week, we celebrate Mabo Day.

In 1992, the Mabo decision acknowledged the traditional rights of Indigenous people to their land and waters.

We continue to honour the land and water rights of Aboriginals and/or Torres Strait Islanders.

[Bronwyn Fredericks @BronFredericks]

Where’s the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island women, services, & researchers on the expert panel? This is either a gross oversight or a misjudgement considering the panel’s purpose, who’s at greatest risk of #violence, & the $1.3m investment. See https://t.co/6tS0guowQA #Auspol
