We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.

“The sad truth is that when a woman is killed by her partner her death has a much better chance of being branded a national disgrace if she is young, good looking and white.
And that in itself is also a national disgrace.” #MediaWatch

The decision of three actors in the Sydney Theatre Company's new production of The Seagull to wear the keffiyeh during curtain call sparked a frenzy of condemnation from members of the Jewish community. @latingle spoke to @louiseadler. #abc730

Results for Remote Mobile Teams in the NT electorate of Lingiari. Number columns are first % Yes, then % No and total votes. #auspol #referendum2023

No matter the outcome of this referendum - in which the 'No' camp have called me a "pig, whore,communist, racist, disfigured, brainless, washed-up, moron" - and none of those insults touched the sides, I will remember @PeterDutton_MP as the one who enabled them.
Rely on that.

You have to seriously contain your anger when these two are seen as an authority on Indigenous issues.
Howard the man who instigated the NT intervention-responsible for dehumanising an entire culture & every health outcome going backwards-incl a 160% inc in suicides.
Howard who was the only living PM who refused to apologise for the forced removals of Aboriginal children..because, well “only a few were wrongly removed”
& Abbott -who cut more funding from critical Indigenous services than any PM. And claims colonialism was good for Aboriginal ppl along with many paternalistic views of Aboriginal ppl that belong in the 1800s.
And to have to gall to deflect from their responsibility in it all.
The lack of insight; basic human empathy of these two is breathtaking
John Howard and Tony Abbott have declared the NT a failed state because of its inability to provide basic services to remote communities, and they say a voice to parliament will not improve practical outcomes: bit.ly/3ZIH8sG

Speaking to my mum last night. She’s 83. This is her certificate of citizenship. She scrubbed floors and worked stations for no wage: just room and board. All for a better life for us kids
She walks around the Pilbara with her Yes shirt. Not one of her non Indigenous “friends” are voting yes. When they ask her why-she says this:
“Our entire lives all we have heard is “no”
Before I die; I want to hear Yes.
It means that much-and I cannot argue with that ❤️🖤💛

Voice to parliament referendum: No campaign’s phone strategy revealed — don’t say who you are calling behalf of, then sow fear and anxiety not based on facts. Are truth in campaigning and voting laws fit for purpose? Don’t think so. #misinformation smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

i'm told there are many australians who haven't seen how simple the proposed constitutional amendment is…
i certainly hadn't seen it categorised into four parts.
it's really simple.
recognition + listening → better outcomes
let's get it done, together. #yes23

Full house at @Carriageworks today to see @thomasmayo23 and @KerryOBrien discuss their book The Voice to Parliament Handbook.
The book simply explains why #TheVoice needs to be enshrined in the Constitution.
