It’s OK to Whitewash

Indigenous people across the country deserve better than this staggering ineptitude and support for white Australia policies.

Five Wasted Years

Actually, someone should tell him, he can’t be special envoy for Indigenous affairs as well! It is more than disturbing that Abbott has been given free rein in the area.

The AEC has announced the Federal Seat of Batman will now be known as the Federal Seat of Cooper.

Small steps towards justice

There’s still a long way to go. To date, Victoria is the only state to formally introduce a Bill that details a process towards a treaty.

Reconciliation – the new safe word

It is each year, during reconciliation week, that we see politicians make public pronouncements about reconciliation, equal partnership and respect in an attempt to out-Mandela each other.

Social justice incorporated
