@Stella4Menzies @drcwatego Dear me, I'm not sure I'd be accusing Indigenous folks of being thieves while living on land stolen from them Stella. Until there's a treaty, they owe colonial institutions nothing. That recognition should throw the "integrity and character" of we colonists into sharp relief.

@frankrees Just John Howard? How about KRudd, Gillard, Abbott et al? The point was always colonisation and white supremacy. That's bipartisan policy here. That it failed doesn't change that fact.

So if you don't want #Blacklivesmatter to protest during COVID,
instead of being critical,
give them a reason not to need to.
Do the work necessary
to see their
(very reasonable, just, socially healing)
demands are met. #BLMSydney

[Simon Moyle @simonmoyle]

If you are critical
of the Sydney #Blacklivesmatter protest
but not proportionately more critical
of the systems
that are killing, colonising
and incarcerating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
with impunity...
#BLMSydney

[Simon Moyle @simonmoyle]

The fact that these issues
are never addressed
or changed
by those in power
is not an Aboriginal problem.
It is a white problem.
*We* are the ones standing in the way,
refusing to make changes,
upholding the status quo. #BLMSydney

Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.

They have treated the wound of my people carelessly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace’,
when there is no peace.
They acted shamefully, they committed abomination;
yet they were not ashamed,
they did not know how to blush.

If you only read one thing about the #covidsafe app, read this.

And if you genuinely think you have nothing to fear, ask yourself: is that because this government is so kind, open-minded and accommodating, or is it because you've never taken a real risk in opposing its hegemony? #covidsafe

[Simon Moyle @simonmoyle]

I don't think those who are advocating for the #covidsafe app comprehend the level of privilege required for doing so. Let me break it down a bit.

[Simon Moyle @simonmoyle]

If you want to be supportive of people with less privilege than you, don't support further surveillance technologies, let alone push for everyone to use them. #covidsafe
