We're going to the polls, Australia! π€πβ€ For the first time in 24 years, we're going to vote to change our Constitution! It's time to #VoteYes #NothingLess βπ€ #VoiceToParliament #UluruStatement @ashbarty
This π€β€π It's simple. It's time to give First Nations Australians a #Voice in how our country should be run. We don't need the details because we know it's the right and just thing to do β #VoteYes #NothingLess #VoiceToParliament #JourneyToYes
Let's hope I don't end up in jail as I try and hold a multi million dollar corporation accountable @afl β―π₯΄π #auspol #whistleblower #umpire #UmpireAFL Who's with me? It takes a village πβ
πThe perks of being unemployed! Being able to umpire the Reconciliation Week Sports Carnival at Worawa Aboriginal College π€πβ€οΈ what an awesome day celebrating culture! ππ
π’ Oh man, 'historic' for all the wrong reasons. You are on the wrong side of history @the_nationals π€¦ββοΈ like really? Surely Bridget knows better. Obviously not. Don't worry, we don't need them to #VoteYes because a #VoiceToParliament will happen whether the Libs or Nats like it π€πβ€οΈ
A massive weekend celebrating all things First Nations π€πβ€οΈ From Dreamtime at the G π to an incredible @yes23_fundraiser_thornbury for the @yes23au campaign β, we're definitely on the highway to #Yes! And we're moving fast. Get on board this train, cos it's going to amazing places! π Thank you Uncle Ringo for a beautiful Welcome to Country and for everyone involved in the Fundraiser. Over $35,000 was raised! π₯° Ps. we really don't deserve Indigenous culture, it's far too good for us colonisers π’ #VoiceToParliament #UluruStatement
πThis is why π€πβ€
My passion for #FirstNations culture started when I listened to @archieroachmusic Charcoal Lane album. At 17, I was blown away by its sorrow and profound depth. It made me want to learn everything there is to know about First Nations culture, so I did. I majored in Australian Indigenous Studies at @monash_uni . Listening to Uncle Archie literally changed by life. If you haven't listened to his music, you need to. It might just change your life too #VoteYes #Ulurustatement #VoiceToParliament #BeBrave

πTHIS IS WHY: Thirty years ago, @stkildafc player Nicky Winmar was racially vilified by @collingwood_fc supporters at Victoria Park. This year, in 2023, @westernbulldogs player @jamarrauh was racially vilified by @stkildafc supporters three weeks ago π₯ Each of these players were forced to stand up for themselves, and pointed to their skin. If nothing has changed in the @afl in 30 years (π€―), by God we've gotta make them change! Now it's our time to stand up for all #FirstNations people and #voteyesβ#JourneyToYes #VoiceToParliament π€ππ
Reposted from @weenthunga π€πβ€οΈ Remember to be kind when chatting about #VoiceToParliament as everyone's opinions are valid and we can all learn and have challenging conversations respectfully. The #JourneyToYes starts with kindness, compassion and openness π₯° #BeOpen #VoteYes
Gosh I look as tired as I feel. It's been a massive week but at least we've got the conversation started. Thank you everyone for your support. It truly means the absolute worldπ₯° I think this is going to be a long journey but the more we talk about these things, the quicker people realise it must change, and now βπ Nap time for me today π΄ #umpireafl #afl #culture #abuse #FemaleUmpires #bebrave #speakout #speakup
