Cre8tive Nations : Love Letter 1.
So first up is amazing emerging artist Myah Latu.
“Hi beautiful people! Hope you’re all doing well and staying safe and healthy during these troubling times. I know it must be difficult and stressful for you all. But despite that the sun is
We’re doing a series called Cre8tive Nations : Love Letters. Where artists are writing love letters to you about what they hope for the world in this time we’re in. ❤️#cre8tivenationsloveletters #cre8tivenations #savethearts #whodoesntlikegettingaloveletter – at Brisbane, Queensland

Government not on track to meet Closing the Gap targets because of course they aren't. bit.ly/2tTNvz8
(I wrote this years ago, but if you just replace the name of whatever PM was there when I wrote it to whoever is PM now I’m sure it will still hold up just fine. Sigh.)

Astounding. Should be a lead story in our media. Morrison Gov will cease Fed Gov funding for Aboriginal housing after current funding agreements expire. This would end a bipartisan agreement that has been in place since 1968 that the Australian Gov has a key role & responsibility
"There's been no debate, no conversation with us - just a unilateral decision taken by the government." - @NACCHOAustralia CEO Pat Turner.
She's told The Drum she understands the federal government will end funding of Indigenous housing, leaving a multi-billion dollar gap.

I think this might be the nicest thing Sky has ever said about Indigenous people.

To the security guard at @Woodfordia who decided he would ask me what was the deal with my “fake Indian costume”
1. It’s called regalia
2. We’re indigenous
3. Your badge does not make you an arbitrator of my authencity!
Leaving ur bullsh*t in 2019 ✌🏽

IndigenousX turns 7 years old on Friday (precocious little scamp, ain’t we?), and all we want for our birthday is 2000 patreons so we can continue to promote Indigenous voices online!
Can you help us get there? patreon.com/IndigenousX #7YearsofIndigenousX

There are eight black men in WA in prison for unpaid fines. It is atrocious that anyone would be in prison for unpaid fines. I find it interesting though that already EIGHTY TWO black women have been freed with Free The People started by Sisters Inside.

To those non-Indigenous peeps who got involved with #InvasionDay #SurvivalDay for the first time over the weekend, well done 👊🏽, but your 2019 challenge is to keep that fire burning and find ways for it to have a positive impact and help #ChangeTheNation for the better.
