Please keep talking about this. This boy died as the result of a racist hate crime. He was beaten to death with a metal pole and a machete. He was at a bus stop in his school uniform. 15yrs old.
Cassius Turvey's mother reflects on the beautiful nature of her 'gentle giant.' The 15-year-old died after being brutally attacked while walking home from his Perth school. WARNING: This story contains distressing content and images of someone who has passed.

If you are reading this you’re educated enough to understand how catastrophic the plastic pollution problem is on this planet. Every single person out there can help stop this if they take a second to think & be and always say no to single use-plastics. instagram.com/p/CF4tCfuhMRn/…

These emotional farmers clutching their dead century-old fish have blasted the NSW Government over its 'bloody disgraceful' water policy.
