Kay Gehan

When he came out, he gratuitously declared how happy he was to have voted “No”. I asked him why he had voted “No” and he said, “So that Aboriginal kids won’t get raped every night.” This is the racially stereotypical viewpoint that has comfortably settled into the minds of many in the broader community, largely engendered by the irresponsible narrative driven by Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and her fellow traveller Nyunggai Warren Mundine. It is a viewpoint echoed in the words of comedian Rodney Marks who performed at the CPAC conference that Price attended in August: “I’d like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners: violent black men.”

The big business lobby representing the mining companies, labour hire companies & Qantas want to trash the Albanese Govts workers rights Closing the Loopholes Bill. They will say or do anything to keep wages low & jobs insecure.

The Senate committee hearing into the Closing the Loopholes Bill to give workers better rights is in Rockhampton today. It’s Workers v BHP/Qantas. Follow here 🧵 👇🏼

Howard squandered $500M on the NT Intervention. Abbot redirected Indigenous money to Bowling Greens. Morrison redirected Indigenous money to Hillsong. Dutton redirected Indigenous money to Councils in marginal seats during by-elections.#Referendum #Referendum2023

To everyone who took practical action in support of #YES here’s what we can all do now to provide real support to First Nations communities, donate to Indigenous organisations on the ground doing the hard yards for change. Here are 20 orgs doing amazing work to get you started 👇🏼

Just a simple RT if you think Peter Dutton is a complete arsehole

Asked what he’ll now do for indigenous Australians Peter Dutton said that between now and the next election he’ll take advice from Jacinta Price and then formulate policies. One voice. One. Do you get the irony?

Please share. Support lines for First Nations communities. #YES2023 #Referendum #Yes23 #Referendum2023

The work starts now. To everyone who voted #Yes23 let’s stand with First Nations Peoples tonight. Here’s 20 Indigenous organisations you can practically support 👇🏼🧵 1. Champion Indigenous children Donate to @ChildrensGround childrensground.org.au/donate #Referendum2023

When the Referendum is over .. The trolls, the racists, the agitators, the bigots, the hard-right extremists.. and every non-Indigenous person who whined about the Voice being divisive.. ..will go back to their normal lives until they find something new to target while sucking on the misinformation straw with gusto. What won't go back to normal are the lives of First Nations people. Their lives have never been normal - they have been apart from 'the system', manipulated by 'the system' and they have been maligned by governments. Yes or No - Voice to Parliament referendum vote will affect them permanently. I hope for a positive outcome so that we can begin to heal lives and implement positive outcomes for First Nations people ❤️❤️ #VoteYesAustralia #VoteYes #VoteYes2023 #UluruStatement

❤️SHE MATTERS: LISE MULIAGA!❤️ This is Lise Muliaga. On September 18, Lise was stabbed to death at the home of a relative in Melton South, Victoria. Her husband is charged with her murder. Lise is the 45th woman killed this year. While Lise was killed more than three weeks ago, I can now name her following the expiry of a suppression order. Lise was mum to five children, all aged under 14. She and her family were visiting Australia from New Zealand. Lise worked to end stigma around mental health and addiction issues.

@LeonardHay5 Thank you Leonard @LeonardHay5.I have always supported, protested, marched, petitioned for justice, rights of all because I am living the otherside. I don't know what it is like to live non Aboriginal, but I know what it's like to not feel equal to my fellow Australians. Thank U

@GehanKay I wholeheartedly endorse all you said here Kay. From the head, heart and soul. I was ready to vote YES from the time I became aware of stolen generations and stolen history. I am in my 70’s now, 5th generation white Australian and I was glad and proud to vote a resounding YES.

I am 70. Woman. Aboriginal by 3 clan groups NT n SA. I have lived a life that has many stories. Born with these attributes I was political from birth. As were my parents, grandparents, clan groups, siblings, extended family, community. I am them. From 1967 I was counted. I have

This Saturday - will we give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a seat at the table by voting Yes? Or will we leave them to pick up the crumbs that fall from that table. The Australian people must decide.

A terrific result for the quiet diplomacy of Albo and Wong. As opposed to Morrison’s fist-shaking stupidity. smh.com.au/world/asia/che…

@BroHilderchump Maybe have a talk with the Anti Discrimination Commission to discuss her rights and any laws/legislation that are there to protect her rights as a worker (FWC) pretty sure the company has breached the National Employment Standards. She really doesn't have to put up with this 👍🏽

@elonmusk66006 What conversation would that be?
