Queensland’s new laws will see children as young as 10, who are held in remand and haven’t been convicted of any crime, locked up and held indefinitely in adult watch houses. These egregious laws will go down as one of the biggest human rights breaches by an Australian government in recent history.

At the moment, Rubha Phoil is owned by one man, the founder, Ludwig Leòdhas (Otter).

That is not a real community.

We are changing that!

You too can own a little piece of Rubha Phoil!

“He said, ‘I thought I was dying in the cell last night’. He said ‘I couldn’t move’,”

She said the arrest was so violent it could have broken a bone when the young man was thrown to the ground. She claimed an ambulance was not called despite his seizures.

In May a NSW police officer was found guilty of assaulting a 16-year-old Indigenous boy in inner Sydney in 2020, when he threw the boy to the ground using a similar leg sweep manoeuvre.

Lidia Thorpe has called for the voice referendum to be called off, arguing it is an “easy way to fake progress” for First Nations people without making any changes.

The independent senator told the National Press Club on Wednesday a no victory would reveal Australia as a racist country, despite herself advocating for people to vote no.

Thorpe attacked the Albanese government’s push to enshrine an Indigenous voice in the constitution, describing it as a “powerless advisory body”, “window dressing for constitutional recognition” and an “insult” to First Nations people’s intelligence.

In the early modern period Irish speakers were maligned as 'wild Irish', 'barbarous', 'uncivilised' etc. in a campaign to damage the language.
Unfortunately, you'll find people who still think it's acceptable to put down #Irish & its speakers in the 21st C.

As if settler colonizers weren't already detached from any responsibility to build meaningful relationships to Indigenous Peoples whose lands they're occupying, they now have a number they can text to find out whose lands they're on to do a #LandAcknowledgement. Fuck your digitized and analogue allyship performances. #LandBack #AntiColonial #AccomplicesNotAllies

Watching labour back peddle on treaty while supporting the voice is like getting on a train and staying for the ride knowing full well it will never reach your destination.

It's been a hectic morning..

@RichardJMurphy observes: "...in the absence of anyone else to extract value from, now those in power seek to extract value from those in this country." Yes! Colonialism begins (and ends, god willing?) at home. I came to a similar conclusion studying educational inequality and the "digital divide". Now, how do we decolonise Britain?

I really need to get off Facebook. The anti-Indigenous rhetoric is astounding, and I can't get away from it because of the "suggested posts" and "sponsored posts".

..but it's my only access to my friends because we all met there and only one of them is also here.

NSW police Tasered ‘extremely unwell’ Indigenous man a week before incident with Clare Noland [a 95 year old woman who weight 43kg (94lbs). She was killed after being Tasered in her nursing home while using her walking frame to approach police]

Man experiencing mental health issues sought help from police but was later Tasered [twice, and pepper sprayed] in hospital by officers who mistakenly thought he was armed with scissors

"The Queensland government must listen to the voices of Indigenous people if it’s to reckon with its “oxymoronic” approach to youth justice and stop breaking its commitment to close the gap, advocates say.

In a report this week the Productivity Commission cited changes to Queensland’s harsh bail laws as an example of “reform” likely to “exacerbate, rather than remedy” the disadvantage faced by Aboriginal people and reverse progress on closing the gap."

We do ourselves and our community a disservice when we ignore the oppressor within. Let it be freeing to know we all can and do harm. My identity doesnt protect me from supporting systems of oppression.

"The spirit of this water doesn't have to be ashamed of who it is, like maybe others when they came here a while ago made my ancestors feel ashamed of who they were.

"I am crying but I am really happy. I am really pleased."
