That's pretty much how I saw it too.
And now I'm open to Lidia's vision of a treaty discussion happening.

Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.
This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.
We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.
Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."

We attended the Invasion Day Mourning Ceremony and welcome to Country this morning at Coburg Town hall. We heard stories of survival and resistance from Uncle Andrew Gardiner. We walked through the scented smoke from Manna gum leaves.
We walk with light paws on stolen land - sovereignty was never ceeded. 🐶🐶

“The survey found around 80 per cent of Australians believe the federal government should improve reconciliation and "undertake formal truth-telling processes".
“87 per cent of Yes voters think First Nations Australians should have a say in matters affecting them, which was hardly surprising, until researchers learned 76 per cent of No voters agreed.”
Almost 90 per cent of Yes voters think First Nations Australians should have a say in matters affecting them. This did not surprise researchers — until they learned 76 per cent of No voters agreed.
Australia's first racism register for First Nations people: Call It Out.

I know Australians are racist, #thevoice made that glaringly obvious but violence in any scenario is wrong. Being a bastard to someone for their colour or religion or height or weight or whatever is one thing but physically threatening is very very wrong. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-21/call-it-out-racism-report-first-nations-people/103130436?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other
I watched You Can Go Now, this hilarious, fierce and brilliant documentary by world renowned, but unknown to white Australia, artist, Richard Bell. It’s directed by the much acclaimed, in every field she turns her attention to, Prof Larissa Behrendt.
An important watch for everyone living in a country that dispossessed its First Nations people.
