good on you lidia thorpe.

fucken more power to you. that took real courage and i honestly feel so much better about this tour of the british royal family.

and yes--at some point the emperor has to be told he has no clothes on. i'm sick of walking around this place having to pretend as if colonisation didn't happen.

i think long and hard about what had to happen in order for it to be possible to stuff your gob full of toxic fast food 24/7. or the fact that at the rate things are going we'll destroy all the biota in western australia without ever identifying them.

as far as i'm concerned bruce pascoe's dark emu is entirely true. the speed and tenacity with which that man and his book was dismissed and belittled in every mainstream organ of communication, tells me there is still an active intent to cover up just how much bloodshed and misery first nations people have had, and continue to go through, to make the commonwealth of australia possible.

if lidia thorpe chose to keep in line, wait her turn, and speak only when permitted in the face of the continued genocide of australian aboriginal people, i can promise you nothing here would ever change.

somehow people can repeat 'when injustice become our law, resistance becomes our duty', but believe that it does not apply for all cases. i think to myself these people have not progressed one bit beyond a high school education about australian history, and have not yet developed the capacity to think independently for themselves.

always was, always will be aboriginal land.
