The power of @BehrouzBoochani in Parliament yesterday cannot be underestimated.
Not only because he was told he would never come to Australia but because of what he has exposed. He spoke truth to power that comes from resistance, advocacy, determination and bravery.

The coloniality of curriculum functions as a technology of control that seeks to strengthen and justify the white homogenous state through its racialized knowledge. Ultimately, it's about eradicating difference.

Ms Gorrie was the only Aboriginal person on last night's Q&A panel, where she called on the federal government to abolish prisons, defund the police and provide more funding to survivors and Aboriginal community organisations. #qanda @RonnieGorrie

1/4 #Christianity is the faith told me all others were wrong & evil. After the #MilitaryCoup of 1987, I watched churches silent as Christians defecated in Hindu temples. Then I saw how almost 2K years of Christianity fuelled historic abuse globally.

For those wondering, @ASRC1 will not not be taking any funding from new Federal Gov. Never have. Never will

The refugee community we work with expect us to act without fear or favour. 1 of reasons you support us too

Our independence remains vital to helping make change #auspol

If it was a white woman that was disappeared, never to be seen again, there would have been a hell of a lot of resources thrown into that investigation, there would have been national media coverage & she would’ve been found back in 2013
