A new children's book titled 'Day Break' is showcasing the resilience and survival of First Nations families and one family's journey to Country on January 26. @Sarah_Collard_ reports. sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2021…

Dear PM @ScottMorrisonMP,
cc NSW Premier @GladysB,
As a white Australian, born and raised on stolen land, I will not be celebrating #AustraliaDay on January 26. I will be mourning the invasion, dispossession, and attempted genocide of First Nations peoples. #ChangeTheDate #auspol

I want to share something personal. Sometimes I don't have any answers or solutions. I just want to imagine, for the briefest of moments, a life not defined by trauma

Astounding. Should be a lead story in our media. Morrison Gov will cease Fed Gov funding for Aboriginal housing after current funding agreements expire. This would end a bipartisan agreement that has been in place since 1968 that the Australian Gov has a key role & responsibility
"There's been no debate, no conversation with us - just a unilateral decision taken by the government." - @NACCHOAustralia CEO Pat Turner.
She's told The Drum she understands the federal government will end funding of Indigenous housing, leaving a multi-billion dollar gap.

You're my local MP since I moved to Redfern in '07 & I think you're one of parliament's best assets. But this is way off-key. Flag-waving, self-identifying 'patriots' are too often ignorant bigots. Banal pledges are no substitute for education & the timing's unusually tone-deaf.

Australia Day. Time to reflect on what a great country this is & how it can become even greater.
Personally I am for changing the date so ALL Australians can celebrate our national day.
This is not a political opinion. It’s simply what I consider to be fair.

"A national holiday shouldn't exclude or offend anyone." @thatsunilbadami says Jan 26 never used to be a huge day of celebration, so just #changethedate #TheDrum #AustraliaDay

"Don't #changethedate just because people claim to be offended." @JNampijinpa explains why she wants to keep celebrating #AustraliaDay on January 26 #TheDrum

“It’s not a minority who want to #changethedate of #AustraliaDay. It’s Australians who believe in equality, compassion, freedom” - @nakkiahlui hits back at @JNampijinpa #TheDrum

Very interesting story from @seanparnell about the implications for democratic transparency of the movement of ministerial/official comms to apps such as Whatsapp theaustralian.com.au/nationa…
