My grandfathers APPLICATION FOR CITIZENSHIP & my mums certificate of citizenship.
It is harrowing but needs to be shared because a history denied is condemned to repeat itself.
We are repeating this denial each & every year.
Trauma should not be celebrated.

This is amazing. Reminds me of the work @tarakmenon was teaching us about next week. Counting who gets to speak in art, how much and to whom. pudding.cool/2017/03/film-di…
Terrific listening to @markwakeham for @thecrossrds event on Australia’s Energy Future - thinking about making sure our transitions are just and fair for workers. (Ironically my power went out hence the candle 🕯😂)

“Australian, U.S and Nato forces working with and funding Afghan warlords and militias”
@rash_seedeen leaves us wondering whether arming these groups led to more destruction in #Afghanistan?

A mother told the police her daughter was missing, and showed them a photo of her. the cops just asked her “are you sure that’s your daughter?” Too right racism isn’t a big enough word for it #bowravilledoco
“Racism is not a big enough word to describe what has happened here.” Thank you Gary Jubelin for this Op-Ed.

Concerns about women's safety have been echoed across the globe since the #Taliban’s rise in #Afghanistan. Narain recommends 4 policy actions to bring about "sustainable peace".
Is this the route the international community should take? #AfghanWomen

Today’s the day. Mediation with Peter Dutton starts at 9:15am. It’ll take place via video conference. A reminder that he, a wealthy & powerful cabinet minister, is suing me, an impoverished unemployed refugee activist, for defamation over a six word tweet which I deleted in April

The speed that the #Taliban took over #Afghanistan has shocked the world. Camilleri argues that “the Taliban victory is the product of twenty years of misguided policy.”
What could have been done differently?

1 yr ago state & attorneys General failed to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility. Since then 949 kids were in prison on a av night; 600 were aged 10-13yrs with 86% on remand. Here I am at 10 heading off to school. Our Govt says kids at this age belong in prison #RaiseTheAge – at Perth, Western Australia

Can we also stop calling them “Youth Detention Centres”.
They are PRISONS
It’s not a naughty chair scenario

This is me at 10. When I grew up, I wanted to be like my mum. In Australia, 10 year olds can still be jailed. The public are still watching, we’re still calling for the age of legal responsibility to be raised to at least 14 years of age.
