A piece of Australian history that should never be forgotten and should always be honoured. And a cracking piece of storytelling by @Peter_Fitz #vale #books

Leftie, journo, vaguely non-binary, ally. Living on never-ceded Giabal and Jarowair land. I mask up so you don't have to, apparently. #COVIDIsNotOver
Four histories I never knew. Four histories I reckon every Australian should know. #books
Not as riveting as Becoming, but I still found myself tucking away little life lessons I might find useful … #books
Seems fitting to finish this on this blighted, bloody anniversary. Never wanted to see Uluru more, to feel its presence. #invasionday
MFWJacinda Ardern single-handedly saved 1,000s of Aussie lives by implementing the right #COVID19 policies in early 2020 which Morrison was forced to copy.
She also helped get Alan Jones sacked!
A great leader who’ll be sadly missed after a well-earned retirement.
Bye & thanks.
Look, it’s a classic for a reason but I just couldnt finish it. An endless litany of depressing truth. Misogyny sucks, sexism sucks. I don’t need to read about it to know it, y’know what I mean? #books
Interesting. Read it because my local library doesn’t have the Imperial Radch Trilogy and I wanted to see if I liked Ann Leckie’s writing. I do. #books
I thought I understood Australia’s reasons for fighting WWI … and then I read this absolute cracker. White Australia, indeed. #books
blakandblackIt was the anniversary of my brother’s suicide a few days ago. John committed suicide because he found the racism he was subjected to, by society, unbearable. I’ve had John ‘s son living with my family since his death.
Racism and discrimination against Aboriginal people is still alive and well in Australia. They impact on our lives from birth to death. This isn’t something that Australia should be proud of.
