Aah were not able ten make march yesterday, Saturday. Given I work with oldies. Aye, even awlder than me, it were not a risk aah can take. Boot this is an issue close ter my heart. Its time Australia finds peace with indigenous folk and listens ter stories and histories more than first fleet and a rag-bag of explorers claiming bits of sand as their own.
There were the predictable comments aboot 'white lives matter too!' The irony missed by folk saying this is that everyday government demonstrates this principle. As is said, if there were 400 unanswered white death's in custody - there would be outrage. Alan Jones's parrots would be screeching there nuts off ter be heard.Me, aam pleased so many folk, and young folk took ter streets across the Red Land. That it were global. That we all need a wake oop call. Again, respect ter Raoul in centre of Sydney rally, the families as ever fighting the good fight and all they ask is justice. These placards were left ootside Central where the corrosive smell of pepper spray lingered on. Not necessary.
As for ScomoGladys crew. If yer were serious aboot wanting folk not ter march yer could have done summit aboot it. Implement the recommendations from the Royal Commissions inter Deaths in Custody. Take folk ter court who are negligent or criminal in their actions when exercising duty of care. Take yer finger off the button of using polis ter exercise social control. Give yourself a pay cut. Create meaningful jobs that rebuilds infrastructure (not boost roads and stadiums). Talk ter unions as if yer mean it. Listen ter the people and in particular? The first people of the land.
"Doesn't justice stand for all in white society?" Steel Pulse from Handsworth Revolution as beamed down through me ear phones this morning...
