I write, read, travel and teach. Currently working on my first novel & blogging about it, in-between hanging upside down on silks. #LoveOzYA

Learning to write in scenes instead of chapters really helped me with the pacing of my novel. Here's all the info I could collect on the differences between the two! #writingtips #tuesdaytip https://t.co/dUyMQTPL4Z

First Nations, Black people, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander people. Always Was & Always Will Be!

On 3 June 1992, six of the seven High Court judges upheld the claim and ruled that Australia was not terra nullius or ‘land belonging to no-one’. #MaboDay https://t.co/pGgvwQa8Za

I think the amount of media attention this incident received today is concerning to certain institutions, that they may be held accountable a lot more now.

As an Aboriginal woman who has been writing about our injustices for years, I hope this happens. We need transparency.

"Indigenous Australians make up 3 per cent of the population and about 30 per cent of the prison population... It's an even more jarring figure in the youth detention system, where about 50 per cent of all detainees are Indigenous."

[Isabella Higgins @isabellahiggins]

Right now feels like a moment of awakening, of a struggle realised, but it's a bittersweet scenario for Indigenous families where similar issues are at play but with none of the global attention @ABCIndigenous https://t.co/qnJ3qtWu4S

Mayors have been working hard to help us get through this pandemic, and they’ll have just as big a task to help people through hard times ahead. I spent some time with many of them today to thank them for their efforts, and asked them to keep up the good work.

@JaneCaro Sincerely agree and couldn't have said it better. This exactly why hearing her speak made me a bit teary.

@PrincessMattie1 Friend heard her male teacher neighbour panicking and telling his class to 'dress appropriately else you'll all wear uniform'. He works in an all girl's school. Mixed feelings on that one! Nothing's straightforward these days, it seems!

[Samantha Todd @samtoddwrites]

@BreakfastNews Way too strict. Warn her and her mum, then re-explain to everyone else publically so they know. She wasn't being reckless, it's just a difficult, confusing time. Don't assume the worst of people. A warning would surely have sufficed.
