Debunking: You can’t talk about violence in Aboriginal communities

Earlier this week the PM made reference to the abuse of Aboriginal children and immediately followed it up by saying ‘we’re told we shouldn’t talk about it’.

Reform: Tell the truth

Truth and Treaty are the theme of the second piece in the Reform series where you are asked to consider the possibilities of a better Australia – but that does require you to confront your way of thinking.

Debunking: 33 Billion

When it comes to Indigenous people and free things, many Australians have a lot to say: “Indigenous people get free cars”, “Indigenous people get free houses”, “Indigenous people get free University education.”

What are the causes of Indigenous suicides?

As an Indigenous psychologist who has spent the better part of the past twenty years working solidly in Aboriginal suicide, I keep getting asked “What are the causes of Indigenous suicides?”

Debunking: Indigenous Leaders

Indigenous people are not a homogenous group, and we do not have a centralised or universally recognised leadership group.

Debunking: It was hard for convicts, too

The myth of the convict is used to derail conversations about the brutality and unfairness of invasion and colonisation.

Debunking: ‘Aborigines took this place from the pygmies’

These theories are outdated and are not accepted as facts by almost anybody in the fields of anthropology, archeology or history.

Debunking: ‘There are more important things to talk about than Australia Day’

Almost certainly there are more important issues effecting Indigenous people than the celebrations on January 26 but that is entirely not the point.

White leaders condemn Kerri-Anne Kennerley over racism row

We thought we'd ask some White leaders about their thoughts on the situation.

Debunking: ‘Protests do nothing’

Australia Day, Invasion Day, Day of Mourning and Protest – however you label it, this long weekend should be acknowledged as one of activism.

I’m going to start with a popular lie from racists – the idea that Indigenous people should be thankful white people came and gave us access to the ‘best that Western civilisation has to offer’.

The Day Australia Got Its Conscience

The 26th of January is indeed a historic day of significance for the Australian community. The events that took place on that day helped shape modern Australia and continue to have a profound impact of the lives of millions.

Come and rise to #ChangeTheNation

The onus is no longer on Indigenous Australia. We are awake, we are alive, we are still here.

We are people of the past, present and future

We offer others a chance to learn from the wisdom we have developed over millennia and the lessons we have suffered through for over two centuries.

Truth-telling to reimagine our nation(s) histories

It is customary amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to introduce oneself by identifying their family and country.

26 other shitty things we have to survive in January….

Despite what our name suggests, the Wild Black Women welcome in the new year with the same optimism of Karen from HR extolling her ‘new year new me’ resolutions.

Every Day is Survival Day in the Colony of Australia

January 26 represents the day colonisation took root on Koori lands.

Perpetual Outrage It Is.

This country loves listening to the didgeridoo while we dance for them, it enjoys hanging our dot paintings down their hallways and in their boardrooms, and they feel so humbled to allow us the honour of Welcoming them to our Countries, but there is a quick and sudden line drawn in the sand of what will be tolerated when we decide to utilise a voice we have earned, and fought hard for, to question the country they believe we should be so grateful for.
