University of Queensland directs UQP to cancel & pulp an Aboriginal writer's environmental-focused book for children. Jazz Money has done nothing wrong and doesn't deserve to be treated this way. Her book is important for young readers. Shameful

Fortunate to attend a tour of Will-im-mee mooring (Mt William greenstone quarry near Lancefield). A hugely important site re pre-colonisation Indigenous trade. Rumoured that a single axe-head blank could be traded for 2 full length possum skin cloaks! Great educational experience! #Wurundjeri

Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs. @blackpeoplesunion.bsky.social #MobSky chuffed.org/project/1244...

People should learn to familiarise themselves with the borders of clan country whether it be mountain ranges, river systems or confluences. There are much deeper systems of custodianship than native title recognition or registered Aboriginal parties.

New bail laws in Victoria will lead to greater criminalisation of Aboriginal and other marginalised communities, and more people dying in custody, an open letter says, as the Victorian government faces growing opposition to their decision to abandon bail reform.

The Victorian government is set to implement alterations to bail laws less than a year after they were changed in the wake of a concerted campaign by conservative media and the police.

Images of devastation of native grassland at Mount Cottrell [Bush Workers Collective on Instagram]. 1% of native grassland remains in "Victoria". Does this anger you? @blackpeoplesunion.bsky.social

The Organ Pipes which marks the meeting of the Maribyrnong and Jackson's Creek is the border between Marin-balluk and Wurundjeri-willam clans of the Woi-wurrung.

The Statewide Treaty Gathering is this weekend, and I'm hoping to see more youth participation in the process. After all we are the ones potentially inheriting this legislation. Whether to come to express dissent, to ask questions or to listen and pass details onto family, youth should be here.

In the lead up to Invasion Day 2025, I read The Visitors by Jane Harrison (Muruwari) while catching the train across Darug lands. Seven Aboriginal men gather as the first fleet looms on the horizon of Warrane in 1788. #Booksky #Indigisky
