About TREATY for Victoria | The First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria Treaty is our opportunity to make sure we – the Traditional Owners of these lands – always have the freedom and power to make the decisions that affect our communities, our culture, and our Country.

The legislation establishes the First Peoples’ Assembly as a permanent representative body to advise the government, under a new statutory corporation called Gellung Warl.
Gellung Warl means ‘tip of the spear’ or ‘pointed spear’ in Gunaikurnai language. 📜 🗃️ firstpeoplesvic.org/treaty/treat...

Die Anträge zu stützen, die die Union einbringen wird und Bürger*innen in zwei Klassen teilt, muss gelesen werden als: Man hält sich selbst für überlegen, besser, für die echten Bürger*innen. Das ist rechtsextreme Ideologie, unabhängig davon, mit welchen Fraktionen man stimmt.

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

One of the first things that came to my mind when the UN plastic treaty talks failed was this picture by @nealhaddaway.bsky.social showing the plastic removed from one seabird chick's stomach.

Today Neal wrote his personal response, too.
