@johnpilger Thank you John, we are very sad that Lidia is no longer with us, but we continue to support her, and we will continue to work with her to achieve Truth, Treaty, Voice. Please read the Statement FTH, it is primarily about our sovereignty, not a voice in the Constitution.
This is a massive win for the grassroots, First Nations people who have been fighting to decolonise this country. First Nations people never ceded our Sovereignty to any King or Queen, ever. Time for a Treaty Republic!
@Coburgist@BlakGreensVIC@Greens The Blak Greens is a member body, just like the Queer Greens, the Country Greens, the Jewish Greens, maybe you can join them?
We find this quite amusing, "there are three of us". Lidia is a member of the Blak Greens & the spokesperson on First Nations issues. The Blak Greens nationally work together to fight for justice for our people. Truth and Justice Commission First, not a subservient advisory voice
After being withheld by the Morrison Govt for 2yrs, the Council of AGs have released a report that calls for all states and territories to #raisetheage of legal responsibility to 14. Our children need to be home, connected to culture, country and community, to make them strong.
When I was young I saw an injustice. I locked onto a bulldozer and stopped the destruction of an old forest. It is now protected by law. I then became a lawyer, I then became an MP! I didn’t go to jail. I believe in democracy I am part of our democracy - so is Violet! #nswpol
WE LEAD - AUSTRALIA
Blak Greens members from every State & Territory will be in Brisbane soon for the Annual Greens National Conference we always begin with First Nations Talking Circle for nearly 2 hours we lead the Australian Greens in our self determined sovereign process.
It’s #BlakFriday, shout out to Kabi Kabi + Gurang Gurang Pastor Ray Minniecon. Ray took 60 000 years of knowledge to #COP26 because we need First Nations knowledge to combat climate change. Only a Treaty will allow for our lands, waters + skies to be cared for as they should be.
The Blak Greens unequivocally support Senator Lidia Thorpe as both a parliamentary representative, and as a staunch grassroots and activist Aboriginal woman; and we condemn the string of sting pieces and attacks that she, due to the above, has had to endure for years.
Win! Labor has announced funding for Truth and Treaty in the budget. This is a big win for our grassroots, community campaign on Treaty. Funding national Truth and Treaty processes is an investment in real power for First Nations people.
