There is broad support for the Voice to Parliament throughout Australia. Australians know that our Indigenous sisters and brothers have been long neglected and mistreated by white Australia. The old way has not closed the gap between the lifestyles and wellbeing of whites and Aboriginal people. We need a new approach and the Voice, as a constitutional recognition, will boost the weight of the Indigenous voice in the room. Under the current set up our Indigenous brothers and sisters are too easily ignored by the louder voices in the room. Whether it be quiet racism or its more outspoken forms the proof is in the pudding and the Indigenous Australian slice of the pie has long been bitter and shrivelled. It is time to recognise and honour those who were here long before we arrived. Dutton the dog whistling ex-cop should be humanly put down by his party, politically speaking. Australia should get on with becoming the best version of ourselves we can be. Robert Sudha Hamilton ©Midas Word Read the full article

Today is Indigenous Literacy Day. A day that celebrates the wonderful 250+ Languages and Stories that were lovingly spoken and gently taught for 1000’s of years. This is now captured in books and recordings. Take the time to explore a disappearing living source of language through reading.💯🖤💛❤️ #literacy #language #aboriginalaustralia #culture #indigenouslanguages #storytellers https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQwkHIvUhw/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this painting that I have just started, I will be storytelling the power of Cultural Burning (Cold Burns) on Country and it’s connection to certain birds and the positive impact it has on land. I am so proud that Cultural Burns are still a strong practice on my Country in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. I honestly don’t understand why the Australian Government/Greater Community don’t support this practice all over Australia. It would honestly save a lot of heartache and devastation around our Country.🪃🪃🖤💛❤️🪃🪃 #aboriginalart #aboriginalaustralia #culturalheritage #culturalburns #ancientpractice #indigenousart #indigenousartist #landmanagement (at Wynnum / Manly Brisbane) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSBSjFIh7UV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Introducing my latest painting. Gawarrgay: Spirit Emu in Warriwul (Milky Way). Our Ancestors would watch Gawarrgay slowly rotate in the night sky. Certain times of the month would indicate mating season (my painting). Then mid year, Gawarrgay would then be lying horizontally to the horizon (Gawarrgay would be laying on the nest) which would let us know the nest would have eggs and we could collect the eggs to eat. Then once Gawarrgay’s head was facing the horizon (upside down), we would stop, as the eggs were creating chicks, and we must respect new births (new creations). This is Lore. #indigenousart #aboriginalart #culture #paintings #aboriginalaustralia #storytelling #emu (at Wynnum / Manly Brisbane) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6L-CCtZJl/?utm_medium=tumblr
