If you were ally enough to vote Yes’, then there’s a few things you can do now.
1. Listen to Aboriginal people.
2. Get that this isn’t about you.
3. The hand-wringing surprise that Australia is racist is insulting. We’ve said it for years. Stop denying, and work to change it.

Oh my god THIS

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

The theme for NAIDOC Week this year is #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe. The Senate sits on stolen Wiradjuri/Ngambri/Ngunnawal land, and yet these Coalition Senators voted AGAINST a motion from 3 Blak Senators to permanently display our flag in the spirit of NAIDOC Week.

Incredible news out of the ACT right now, where they've voted to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10-14. The ACT is the first jurisdiction in Australia to bring its laws in line with UN standards. Story via Lorena Allam

The justification of this is extraordinary, the comments are unbelievable. These men are role models, kids playing junior footy see this on teli and think it’s okay. IT IS NOT OKAY. I don’t care about the ‘boys club’ BS, this is severely in appropriate, grow up 🤦🏼‍♀️
