#Treaty talks - a community discussion in #Euroa. #Victoria #TreatyState

Dr Ken Mulvaney thought that once people realised how important the rock art was, there would be no more industrial development at Murujuga. Instead he's seen multiple new developments built, creating acidic emissions that are slowly destroying the rock art. #auspol

I cannot begin to say how awesome this documentary is - so much knowledge on the incredible ecology of the Mountain Ash forests and their profound value to this earth, so much incredible research, indigenous knowledge and the modern guardians of these national treasures. #nature #australia #WildOz

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

That thing that’s not happening…here it is again. We are blithely destroying our own home. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

😡😡😡😡

We strongly support the demands of the family of Kumanjayi White for an independent investigation into his death - police cannot investigate other police. Especially not in the NT given what so many inquests have told us about the racism among NT police.

“I went around the corner to see if spring was there.” “Did you find it?” asked Toad. “No,” said Frog. “There was only an old worm asleep on a tree stump.”

A 3.5% increase in Award wage is a fair decision. People worrying about productivity really need to ask themselves do they think the lowest paid are the cause of low productivity. I mean get real. Also it still sees real awards lower than they were 5 years ago

Another day in the colony.

#Billion$ of gas sales and not a $ of #CompanyTax paid. Well done us (irony)…

Is this serious?

A beginning. Vision of the leaders in the southern #FirstNations communities in the #65000years exhibition. As you enter the #pottergallery you start with #Wurundjeri and #Palawa people. That is a good place to start.

More from #65000Years of #AustralianArt

#BedforDowns massacre, the fate of #Major, and a modern reflection on First Nations #custody are all found in the #65000Years exhibition at the Potter Gallery at the #UniversityOfMelbourne. See it if you can. It is wonderful.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

Boele's last big chance has delivered for her! 16 votes off Kapterian in Turramurra PPVC which was the biggest booth remaining. Boele leads by 12. Biggest change so far. #Bradfield

Finally getting around to reading @ronnisalt.bsky.social’s fabulous book Gunnawah. Do yourself and favour and get hold of a copy.

“They operate in an echo chamber. They are more concerned with the prejudices of their hard-core supporters than the experiences of working people.”

The #PotterGallery at #UniversityOfMelbourne just reopened with the most exquisite exhibition of #AustralianArt and with many of the #FirstNations artists present. Thank you to Prof Marcia Langton and DVC Michael Wesley for the invitation and Uncle Andrew Gardiner for the #welcome to country.

Wonderful exhibition by #GlennysBriggs on Yorta Yorta country just closed. A profound thing to visit it with another great artist #RochellePatten who with others from #KaielaArts is launching an #ArtsTram in early June. #65000years #AustralianArt

A US trade court has blocked President Donald Trump from using emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on imports. The plaintiffs argued the law does not authorise the use of tariffs, and the trade deficit does not meet the law's emergency requirement. #auspol

Here in Central VIC we have already had an 8 month fire season. The AFAC forecast for winter isn't inspiring. As vol firefighters, we do get tired & each week it gets harder to gather a crew to get the truck out the door. This is the steady demoralising impact of climate change.

Excellent news. 'The Dja Dja Wurrung people of central Victoria have become the first Traditional Owner group to begin the process of local treaty making in the state.' www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article...
