Anti-vax protesters completely disrespected Aboriginal culture today while claiming to give a shit about us. Wurundjeri have made it clear they haven’t been consulted & this is breaking cultural protocol. You can’t use mob to try cloak your disrespect.

Tony Shaws comments about me are deeply upsetting. He was someone I looked up to as kid, I was even more fond of his late father who was the Lollie Pop man at my primary school. If Tony wants to be influenced by No campaign lies, well that’s a matter for Tony and I wish him well.

What is a Treaty? A Treaty is an agreement between two sovereigns. Our ancestors have fought many battles and struggled for basic human rights. They called for a Treaty, but government never delivered. Now is the time and we are closer than ever.

This is a deeply difficult time for Kumanjayi Walker’s family and community and my thoughts are with them. Due process has been carried out and we have to respect the outcome.

As First Peoples in Victoria, we live in the shadow of colonisation. We can’t move forward using the same systems that have been used against us.
