“The key lesson for mainstream health services is that #culturalsafety is not about learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It’s about turning the gaze back on yourself.” ." @JanineMilera#coronavirus#KeepOurMobSafe
"The PM has urged three main groups of people to stay home. All Australians aged 70+. Those with chronic diseases 60+ & Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander ppl aged 50+. That tells us a terrible story of health inequity in this country." @JanineMilera#coronavirus#KeepOurMobSafe
