    Today’s Outburst by Senator Lidia Thorpe Does Not Reflect all of Aboriginal Australia.   As a former Senator and the first Aboriginal woman in the Australian Parliament, I am deeply disappointed by the actions of Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe during King Charles III’s visit to

    How can Nicky Winmar be called a liar over his stance on racism by three entitled men in the public eye?! Just had a very interesting chat over the phone to my good friend Nicky and I have got his back 100% ✊🏾❤️ #racism #afl #nickywinmar #litigation

    Hey Straya 🇦🇺, on March 3rd 1986, the ‘Australia Act’ commenced, making us a Sovereign, Independent & Federal Nation. This is our ‘Independence Day’ & could be our Australia Day! Still hot enough to enjoy a BBQ 🍖🐑 , play cricket🏏 & listen to @triplej #march3soundsgoodtome ✌🏾

    Disgusting! This debate is about us Aboriginal ppl being valued & respected as a race, acknowledging our resilience & survival. Many people of all races are now marching & supporting our struggle. Putrid & ignorant comments from KAK. Thanks @yumichild ♥️ #WhitePrivilege #racism

    #MyMum Joan was removed from her Mum in the NT at 9 yrs of age because her skin was 'half caste' - told she was going fishing & was taken to a catholic mission on the Tiwi Islands & grew up there. She didn’t see her Mum again until she was 18. I ❤️ my Mum ✊🏾#StolenGenerations

    ✨ Just bumped into Avi Yemini at breakfast here in Israel 🇮🇱 Avi is a proud Jewish Australian 🇦🇺 and he’s fighting relentlessly against the ugly rise of antisemitism in Australia and the venomous propaganda. That is what I stand in solidarity with and we should all unite on.

    Today we honour the great man, Eddie Koiki Mabo. 30 yrs ago today, marks the day when the High Court of Australia handed down its decision to overturn the biggest MYTH of this country, Terra Nullius, or "land belonging to no-one". #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #StolenLand 🖤💛❤️👣

    An emotional day with the unveiling of my portrait in Parliament House! @JandamarraCadd you’ve captured all of me in everything I am & for that I thank you! We’ve both made history, being the 1st Aboriginal artist commissioned by Parliament! Our ancestors would be proud. 🖤💛❤️👣

    Gave it my all. Nothing left in the tank. 2 months on the road, emotionally exhausting but worth every breath. A simple thing to do! 122yrs of absence on the Nations Birth Certificate. The 1st Born. Let’s manifest love & hope prevail tonight as the world 🌎 watches on! #yes23
