Was fortunate to spend my Monday building a #CulturalHeritage and #ThreatenedSpecies protection fence alongside this supportive, funny, motivated, hard-working #IndigenousRanger crew. Today was…magic 🖤💛♥️ #EsperanceTjaltjraak #RespectYourElders #ProtectWhatYouLove #NativeTitle @AdriftLab

@pheonixed Simply despicable, innit! There's so much, so bloody much, i despair & despise about Strayan politics. One such is how both Labor & Liebs/Nuts [state & federal] blather on about jobs... jobs jobs JOBS... & make it the fulcrum for almost all policies, if only you dig deep enough into their word-salads.

The jobs mantra is weaponised by these collective & individual arseholes to legitimise everything bad, & subsume everything good.

Log native forests? But no, coz... koalas, pygmy possums, myriad other critical flora & fauna. Aw, but JOBS!!! And so the box gets ticked.

Allow Adani? But no, coz... critically endangered biodiversity, water security, #FirstNations #NativeTitle, &, anyone heard of #ClimateCrisis? Aw, but JOBS!!! And so the box gets ticked.

Allow ABC, DEF, GHK et al coal mines? But no, coz... critically endangered biodiversity, water security, &, anyone heard of #ClimateCrisis? Aw, but JOBS!!! And so the box gets ticked.

Allow Beetaloo, Narrabri fracking? But no, coz... critically endangered biodiversity, water security, #FirstNations #NativeTitle, toxic salinity produced-water, &, anyone heard of #ClimateCrisis? Aw, but JOBS!!! And so the box gets ticked.

Ofc, these turds keep a second ace up their sleeves, in case constantly shrieking "jobs" might not always be sufficient. So then they back it up with screeching "export $$$", and so, the box gets ticked.

A great day for the people of the Torres Strait as they win a #NativeTitle determination over their sea country. Decades after Eddie Mabo's historic native title win, a new court victory brings his dream full circle https://flip.it/qASDAw

Singing to the sea - https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lawreport/singing-to-the-sea/14101652
The Federal Court has confirmed native title over more than 40,000 square kilometres of sea country in the Torres Strait region. For the first time the claim brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to achieve joint native title outcomes. Traditional singing provided crucial evidence in the proceedings. Damien Carrick travelled to Waibene, or Thursday Island, to attend the outdoor sitting and to speak with Traditional Owners. #auslaw #nativetitle #IndigenousIp

Native title body uses police to eject critics from meeting amid calls for new directors https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-28/police-remove-traditional-owners-kimberley-mg-meeting/101698504 #news #IndigenousPolicy #NativeTitle

My (late) morning walk has generated an unformed thought that the old common law shifting and springing uses might be adapted to support #LandRights as default, with colonial tenures perhaps superimposed. Given that #NativeTitle is ‘full beneficial title’, there’s a conceptual underpinning of equity. 🤔 #auslaw

Even the "progressive" Victorian Labor branch is happy to bulldoze native title rights, using the same tactics that Queensland Labor is using to get the Adani coal mine built.

Queensland Labor goes fully feral, extinguishs native title so that Adani's coal mine can go ahead: https://wanganjagalingou.com.au/qld-govt-wipes-out-wj-native-title-for-adani/

How do Labor supporters still think their party is progressive in the face of bullshit like this?
