WE are so proud to reveal our building makeover that continues to tell our story 18-months after the floods, celebrating rebuilding the Koori Mail - our national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander newspaper - on the lands of the Widjabul Wiabal people of the Bundjalung nation.

Yunupingu walked in two worlds with authority, power and grace, and he worked to make them whole — together. He was a leader, a statesman, a great Yolngu man and a great Australian. He now walks in another place, but he has left such great footsteps for us to follow in this one.

Kingham: granting permission to mine the coal can not be logically separated from the emissions it creates (even if the coal is exported) and their impact on climate change. “Wherever the coal is burnt it will contribute to environmental harm, including in Qld”

We have many people to thank over the coming days, but firstly a deep thank you to the First Nations witnesses for their generosity and commitment in sharing such compelling evidence about how climate change is already impacting them, their cultures and communities.

We were thrilled to celebrate this historic win today alongside many of the people who made this case possible! The clients, witnesses and supporters you see in these photos travelled from far and wide to be in Meanjin today to hear this decision together.

Make sure you know where to go. Bring your ID. A face mask. Some water? An umbrella? Something to read? Be ready to wait in line. It's not such a sacrifice. People have died for our right to vote. Please. Vote.
