25.01.2022 Centre Alliance have voted with LNP and PHON to extend the 'TRIALS' of Cashless Debit Card #SHAME Tonight was a missed opportunity to #scrapthecashlesscard FOR GOOD
25.01.2022 Today is the International Day Against Nuclear Tests. Since July 16 1945 there have been 2,121 nuclear tests worldwide. 21 of these took place in Australia. The...se tests were devastating events for First Nations Peoples. Their impact and destruction continues to be felt today. The environmental impact of this testing was catastrophic. Today, over 400,000 cubic metres are contaminated with plutonium at Maralinga and its surrounds. We should use this day to reflect upon and acknowledge Australia's own participation in the nuclear chain and the need for recognition and redress for those affected. It's time to #BanTheBomb If you agree, sign our petition: https://greens.org.au/campaigns/australians-want-peace #WeWantPeace

24.01.2022 Happy How To Make Gravy Day! Whether near or far to your families and friends, have a safe Summer you mob. Here's to a better and more robust 2021 ... Thank you to our members and supporters during this tumultuous year. We value your time, ongoing critique of the settler colonial environment we all live in and experience and know you will continue to stand united with us, working for the NT to be fair for all of us. We will continue to work hard to protect country, water and each other's livelihoods, especially for our children and future generations. In solidarity - NT Greens https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KqMUpWd4m0c&feature=youtu.be
22.01.2022 Act now, please email the Senate Crossbench to oppose this Bill. "We will continue to oppose this punitive card. This legislation can be blocked if the Senate Crossbench votes with us to oppose it. You can email the Crossbench to urge them to stop this legislation. Let them know this card harms people rather than helping them, ask them to vote against it" https://thegreens.good.do/scrapthecard/email-crossbench/

20.01.2022 Please support this call out for families to be in Mparntwe Monday.
20.01.2022 Shame on the NT Labor Government for changing the law to let Woolworths build their alcohol megastore in Darwin. First Nations communities don't want it, 147000 people signed a petition against it, but Labor caves to big business again. Listen to the voices of the Bagot community and share them with your friends, this fight isn't over:
20.01.2022 Centre Alliance have hoodwinked and mislead the people of South Australia and those on the Cashless Debit Card. They’ve assured voters for weeks now they would... not support this racist, punitive Bill and tonight they flipped on that promise, devastating thousands. The Cashless Debit Card could have ended tonight. Instead people in the trial sites will be subjected to income management for another 2 years. This is a heartbreaking outcome for people in the Cashless Debit Card trial sites. People in Ceduna, the East Kimberley, the Goldfields, Hinkler and the Northern Territory deserve better. For Rebekha Sharkie MP and Senator Stirling Griff to back out at the last minute is just heartbreaking and unforgivable. This is a shameful dirty deal. I am so sorry that this card is continuing.
20.01.2022 Follow the questions and debate in the Senate before the vote happens, tonight most likely #scrapthecashlesscard
19.01.2022 Michael Gunner and Selena Uibo: Member for Arnhem are proposing laws that will put more First Nations kids in custody. Labor, this is shameful. The NT Children's Commissioner is very clear: this has the "potential to doom future generations of Territory children to a life within the justice system."
19.01.2022 Progressives, you have some homework to read.

17.01.2022 "The Anyinginyi Health chief executive is "outraged" by the quarantine exemption and says the decision should be overturned"
17.01.2022 We always hear the disgruntled statements about how "lazy" people are to not agree to work in these labour intensive and rural positions. WELL! May the rampant hypocricy, racism, sexism and discrimination keep being brought to light in stories like this one. These disgusting 'working conditions' should be held to account by the law and operators, perpetrators exposed!... https://www.abc.net.au//backpacker-farm-workers-/12545294
16.01.2022 #scrapthecashlesscard "Jacqui Lambie has just announced she won't back the legislation to expand and make permanent the Cashless Welfare Card. That leaves Senator Rex Patrick to go to vote this bill down. As a matter of urgency if you haven't already please contact him by phone or email and tell him why he has to put paid to the CWC once and for all!" Email: [email protected]... Phone: 08 82321144 Statement from Anti-Poverty Network SA
16.01.2022 This morning on Meanjin's 989fm Senator Lidia Thorpe yarned about her swearing into parliament and first few days on the job. Up first in the podcast is Uncle Willie Prince from Cherbourg too. https://989fm.com.au//lets-talk/willie-prince-lidia-thorpe/
16.01.2022 Breaking / Heartbreaking - CONTINUATION BILL HAS PASSED WITHOUT AMENDMENTS 34-33 The CDC is now permanent and will be rolled out in the NT by force as a blanket measure. Sterling Griff was the deciding vote. He is now solely responsible for #Intervention_Australia Post from No Cashless Welfare Debit Card Australia
16.01.2022 Nobody wants this alcohol megastore except for Woolworths and their mates in the Gunner Labor Government. The Bagot community doesn't want it. The Darwin community doesn't want it. 140,000+ people don't want it. Time for Labor to listen.
16.01.2022 Today if you can be at the Court Lawns in Mparntwe

10.01.2022 "Here is some good news...The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment announced a grant opportunity aimed at investing in bushfire recovery to support the long-term resilience of wildlife and their habitat.

10.01.2022 Nominations are open for councillors in two local government by-elections in Central Australia. More information: www.ntec.nt.gov.au
10.01.2022 Full solidarity with everyone protesting the shameful bail changes coming from Gunner and the Labor Government today. Gunner's laws won't make anyone safer. But they will put more First Nations kids in custody. Shame. Follow UP: Uprising of the People for more information & to take action.
09.01.2022 APY LANDS TO CLOSE ITS BORDERS The APY Lands, like the rest of South Australia, is facing its biggest COVID threat since the outbreak earlier this year. As a re...sult of the dangerous Parafield cluster, the APY Executive Board of Management today held an emergency meeting and resolved to close its borders for three weeks from midnight on Tuesday, November 17. South Australia’s Chief Public Health Officer has characterised this cluster as more dangerous than the Thebarton cluster earlier in the year given it involves multiple public venues. APY is aware that at any one time there can be up to 200 people including women and children from the APY Lands in Adelaide, shopping and catching up with family. Indigenous people are at greater risk of hospitalisation and death during a virus outbreak. There are now 34 active cases in the state including 18 in the past 48 hours. This is very concerning for the APY Board of Management and they are taking this very seriously. APY initially will manage its borders via the legislated system of permits and hold further discussions with relevant authorities over coming days about other measures. For essential services, entry will be facilitated through the APY Permits process. People currently on the APY Lands can leave, however people coming into the APY Lands will have to self-isolate for 14 days. Further planning to ensure the APY Lands remains COVID free will continue with relevant authorities in coming days. In South Australia, for a two-week period, gyms, recreation centres, play cafes and similar venues will be closed. Community sport and training will be temporarily cancelled - indoor and outdoor. However, the Premier has declared that schools will stay open. Funerals will be capped at 50 (one person per 4sqm), churches capped at 100, while all weddings will now be registered guests only and capped at 150. Gatherings at private residences will be restricted to 10 guests. APY General Manager Richard King urged Anangu to be safe and not to undertake unnecessary travel. If you are elderly or considered vulnerable, stay at home. Avoid visitors for now, Mr King said. If we all work together, hopefully we can lift restrictions sooner and return to normal. APY urges all Anangu and any visitors to the APY Lands to follow health advice to stop the spread of this disease. We’ve seen what can happen in other jurisdictions when people don’t follow government recommendations - it can be disastrous and it will be devastating for Indigenous populations. Earlier this year South Australian Premier Steven Marshall acknowledged responsible steps undertaken by APY Administration and the Executive Board to keep remote Aboriginal communities free of COVID-19. The Board will continue to work with Nganampa Health, SA Health and SA Police to ensure Anangu remain safe whilst enabling the repatriation of those members who are currently not on the Lands.

09.01.2022 Kids should not be locked up. Crime rates in the NT are going down but incarceration rates are going up. First Nations children often make up 100% of the NT juvenile detention population.... Kids on Country not in CUSTODY!

05.01.2022 "Senior Aboriginal researcher at the Tangentyere Council Aboriginal Corporation Vanessa Davis recently spoke about the impact of climate change for people living in the Northern Territory’s town camps. There are fears parts of the Northern Territory could become uninhabitable due to heat in coming decades, and those living in Town Camps, remote communities and outstations stand to be the worst affected, displacing many thousands of people."

02.01.2022 December 10 is Human Rights Day. Feels hypocritical to acknowledge it in 'Australia' when governments enshrine laws to explicitly remove people's rights and autonomy. Still, we fight and acknowledge that humanity should override greed every single day of the year. "Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document that procla...ims the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world." https://www.un.org/en/observances/human-rights-day
