Hundreds are still missing and feared dead after a boat carrying migrants sank in Greek waters last week.
Advocates say they’re frustrated the sunken migrant ship has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for 5 people. nbcnews.com/news/world/syria…

Prof Linda Tuihwai Smith 'We have been subject to unrelenting colonisation, it changes it's form - we've had to relitigate arguments around race we thought we'd won. Don't take it for granted - your space is not secure.' #Lowitja23 – at Cairns, Queensland
Linda Tuhiwai Smith, @Paps_R and @LesterRigney on research sovereignty @LowitjaInstitut “We are taking up this space, we are claiming this space.” #lowitja2023
“Globalisation is a form on new colonialism. I am unimpressed with decolonising theory when it doesn’t properly consider the modern human condition of the Aboriginal child. Health inequality never sleeps.” @LesterRigney @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023
“Don’t take the situation you’re in for granted. It will always be fragile. We have skills to work in those spaces, like healing. You can’t be comfortable. You’re constantly on guard and you have to be trained to sustain it.” Prof Linda Tuhiwai Smith @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023
“I see in our culture solutions to many of the problems colonisation has caused. But there are things that are not well that should be well. Power is not a White thing, we have power too.” @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023
“Don’t mess with the Māori woman who speaks her truth as she walks with the power of thousands of years in her blood and her bones.” Dist. Prof. Linda Tuhiwai Smith @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023
“It’s not that we don’t have the evidence. We know the answers. There are times it’s not about research but about activism.” Dist. Prof. Linda Tuhiwai Smith @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023
“There is a place in research for anyone who is curious about anything. We sneak our knowledge and language in to change the format of research.” Dist. Prof. Linda Tuhiwai Smith @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2022
Dist. Prof. Linda Tuhiwai Smith “I don’t know what colonisers hear when we tell our truth. That’s why the language we use is so powerful, we have to be careful with words. When you put a nice piece of fruit with rotting fruit it rots too and that’s what can happen to good words.”

“Indigenous health is contributing to system transformation. We keep the land and people central to our vision. The framework includes ceremony, spirituality and community.” Dr Lisa Bearskin of University of Victoria, Canada. @LowitjaInstitut #lowitja2023

No matter your thoughts on @andrewprobyn (I think he is an excellent journalist and news breaker and a wonderful mentor to many) the ABC deciding it doesn't need a political editor in Canberra is madness.
