@WittGorrie At 13 I got $68 a month (1996) - what we had worked out was the average monthly cost of everything (school expenses not included) my mum wld buy me : clothes, movies, phone cred for the Nokia 5110 :D
old enough to manage - but if I kooked it, there wasn’t long to wait for reup
10000% if a 10yr can be imprisoned, they can reflect easily that Cops can be Killers &/or trust that there are white supremacist systems at play in their very schools & lives
Kids in Year 5 & 6 are old enough to go to Australia’s Kid Prisons so I think they’re old enough to have opinions on police racism and police violence 🤷♂️

In Aust. Ms Dhu died in custody for unpaid fines. A victim of Dom violence. Asked for medical assistance didn’t receive it. Mr Ward a respected elder, blew over the limit. Put in a police van & transported 4hrs without A/C. Was literally cooked alive, no charges 1/8
Children are NOT safe from cops Education Minister & Police Minister! To reprimand the incredible, critical thought promoting environment of ed given at @LindfieldLearn is a supreme white approach & negates very real & traumatic experiences of so many kids & their communities.
@aniacopian Or why we approach as “we should” in this crowdsourced mini opinion sharing platform Vs just looking at it, changing that etc in our spheres 😛
@aniacopian I think USA esp, as a society, need to look at why we read one article or see one news spot and don’t further research. Or hear something from a friend & not check... Netflix is just another outlet. It’s a culture of not learning critical thinking skills & actions 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve withdrawn from TEDX. This was a really hard decision for me...but to be told that talking about my people being killed in custody is too political or that my language had to be softer, I can’t in good faith be a part of a platform that requires that of me
@7NewsSydney it’s not just old people who grew up with cash - there are many people who are paid cash, do not have access to banking, are houseless or very low income getting by hour to hour with whatever cash they can collect. #cashlessStory
I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.
