The Voice is not a Band-Aid, or a programme, a set of reforms… It is, merely & purely, a system whereby Indigenous Australians have a formal, recognised mechanism whereby their voice will be heard by parliament. It will not in & of itself improve outcomes; it will simply make it easier for Indigenous Australians to be consulted, making it so much more likely that Indigenous Australians will be a part of solutions, not merely seen as the problem. It will take much more than The Voice to ensure that constructive reforms & programmes are carried out & maintained effectively & in a timely fashion, but I believe The Voice is an important step. Dutton apologised again for his walking out on The Apology, stating that he saw it as tokenistic & failed to grasp the importance of its symbolism. He then went on to paint The Voice as tokenistic, lacking substance. Is not he in danger of doing exactly the same thing? Of failing to recognise the symbolic importance of this change to a more consultative system, where Indigenous Australians are seen as agents in, not objects of change. He spoke well, voicing acknowledgement of past wrongs & a need to address ongoing issues. But he still failed the need to listen to & partner with Indigenous Australians. Apologetic he might be, but paternalistic he remains.

15 years ago, I was in Australian Parliament, watching Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations. Now, on the 15th anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generations, the Albanese Government unveils $425 million Closing the Gap plan abc.net.au/news/2023-02-13/clo via @ABCaustralia

@grryboy I just started watching tonight. So love Anna Gunn.

seemed somewhat unique in that even though there seems to be a "final girl" in Meredith, she actually lives on in the form of a Fury. And yeah, I had only a cursory knowledge of some literary/mythological references, but I could still watch and enjoy. I have had surreal art books re: Carrington et al and read a part of one of her novels but no real comprehensive knowledge of the whole mythology.

@MargaretSefton I think there are many voices speaking to abuse and requisite vigilance of men's behavior and potential for violence.

This is a key dialog taking place in recent movies like , and as well.

I had little to no understanding of the Greek mythological connections, so it definitely wasn't a requisite to understanding or enjoying the film.

@BellisColdwine Just finished watching it and wholeheartedly agree. Great to see a movie that treats its characters honestly and the subject seriously - it deserves to be more widely known. boxd.it/3BTYrN

@YayForThat @RichTate @stina_marie @MevsMatze It was really good. I enjoyed it. Have you seen The Apology?

While it is firmly based in reality, deals with a great deal of trauma in a similar ways.

Not sure if Anna Gunn is tall, or Janeane Garofalo is just short.
