@spinopsys JFC, what absolute crap. No mention of the fact that the USA has spent 200 years destroying every popularly elected government in South and Central America nor that the UK plundered colonies of their wealth and murdered millions doing so.

I can't imagine spending my entire 39 years convincing the government that I live here and need some rights to determine what goes on here.
Nevermind that my efforts would have been unsuccessful were it not for a champion (Eddie #Mabo) 3500km away taking his people's fight to the High Court of Australia eight years after I started.

@kris_inwood has shared a paper that's only too important for #truthtelling regarding yet another atrocity that "the lucky country" doesn't want you to know about.

January is often a difficult month for First Nations people for the obvious reason that there is a lot of focus on January 26. It is a reminder that our national narrative would rather preserve beers and barbies than include us in the conversation, far too often we’re an afterthought or we’re a stain on List of Aboriginal organisations for settlers to donate to ahead of invasion day.
