Today’s Google Doodle honours the late legendary Aunty Gladys Elphick. A proud Kaurna & Ngadjuri woman born on this day in 1904, ‘Aunty Glad’ was founding president of the Council of Aboriginal Women of SA & dedicated herself towards social justice in Australia. @GladysElphick

I don't mean to be rude but if I could have one wish granted ahead of #Referendum2023 on 14 October, it would be for all decided and likely No voters to look in the mirror and ask themselves: 1) Have I read the Uluru Statement...like, really read it? 2) What would I lose if the

My ♥️ is bursting with pride right now, seeing 100 fine young Australians gathering in Sydney for the Hands On Heart National Youth Voice Conference. They’ve been brought together by Uluru Youth Dialogue co-Chairs Bridget Cama and Allira Davis, with some incredible supporters.

Whenever I hear a politician say ‘Where’s the detail on the Voice?’, my heart sinks. Because it means, embarrassingly, that one or all of these things are true: • They don’t understand the job they were elected to do • They have no faith in their ability to do that job • They

Please share far and wide. #NAIDOC2023 has begun and the theme #ForOurElders goes to the very core of the Uluru Statement. In the referendum on a First Nations Voice later this year, all Aussies have an opportunity to honour the legacy of our Elders and what they started in 1967.
