I appreciated this advice to allies and other non Indigenous people ahead of Monday, shared by the Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia mailing list (original author Marnie Davis of Women Up North Housing):

“Acknowledge the weight of this time – Invasion Day can be deeply triggering and painful.
Listen more than you speak – avoid debates, justifications or minimising experiences.
Offer flexibility to allow space
Check in respectfully
Do not expect education – this is not a time to ask Aboriginal people to explain or teach.
Challenge harmful conversations when they arise and take responsibility for calling them out.
Share this email and supports like 13YARN and encourage rest and connection.”

(Edited to give correct full name of IAPA)

@kate In terms of education, are voters aware of how racist our politicians are?
One of the most racist policies we have is compulsory income management aka cashless welfare:

How do you have climate action without human rights?

Social security is a vital safety net that most people in Australia will turn to at some point in their lives. In this context, the 2019 federal election offered two very different futures for remote communities in the Northern Territory.
