Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs. @blackpeoplesunion.bsky.social #MobSky

You read my mind. Already do! Or any native bird flying over/call as well.

People should learn to familiarise themselves with the borders of clan country whether it be mountain ranges, river systems or confluences. There are much deeper systems of custodianship than native title recognition or registered Aboriginal parties.

Mother of Veronica Nelson warns Victoria's new bail laws will "undoubtedly" see another parent lose their child New bail laws in Victoria will lead to greater criminalisation of Aboriginal and other marginalised communities, and more people dying in custody, an open letter says, as the Victorian government faces growing opposition to their decision to abandon bail reform.

Victorian bail laws expected to be tightened The Victorian government is set to implement alterations to bail laws less than a year after they were changed in the wake of a concerted campaign by conservative media and the police.

Images of devastation of native grassland at Mount Cottrell [Bush Workers Collective on Instagram]. 1% of native grassland remains in "Victoria". Does this anger you?

One interesting feature of this is Tindale referring to a specific area as "Kurung" which are now understood to be Woi-wurrung. But he gave them an autonomous tribal status from early documentation. My grandpa's maps also had this. None of this was self-determining of course.

I feel like this image I've been able to find isn't a complete map and for some reason has cropped lutruwita out, as the border and key have been cut off on this copy.

The Organ Pipes which marks the meeting of the Maribyrnong and Jackson's Creek is the border between Marin-balluk and Wurundjeri-willam clans of the Woi-wurrung.

The Statewide Treaty Gathering is this weekend, and I'm hoping to see more youth participation in the process. After all we are the ones potentially inheriting this legislation. Whether to come to express dissent, to ask questions or to listen and pass details onto family, youth should be here.
