First Nations and Peoples to bring banners identifying the place and time their people were massacred/murdered/poisoned and by whom
We also invite supporters to carry banners for those who are unable to be present.
We emphasise that this is a silent parade in empathy with the solemnity of the day, wearing black.
Aboriginal activist, Professor Rosemary van den Berg in Perth, is asking for help to find "a good reporter who is pro-Aboriginal and would help us Nyoongar people here in Western Australia fight against an injustice being done to us. The South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council are making a deal to sell our Nyoongar land and have allowed us to either vote yes or no. The trouble is their voting system is not democratic and Nyoongar people are being railroaded into losing our votes because SWALSC and the WA govt want to win this election at all cost."

The government of Nauru is a disgrace.
It has arrested over 150 refugees who held a peaceful protest and has threatened to jail anyone who assembles in groups of three or more.
Nauru claims to be a democracy but it is clear it’s fast becoming a pathetic, tin pot dictatorship.
The refugees arrested are not those held in the detention centre. These are the ones who have been given official refugee status.
But they say they are being treated like second class citizens and don’t have freedom of movement or access to several basic services.

If you think that activism is important in Australia then you should be very concerned about new legislation put forward by Liberal Party Senator Chris Back.

If passed, the law would require investigators to report to authorities immediately if they have recorded any footage documenting cruelty.
This rule would prevent investigators from gathering extensive evidence of systemic or long term abuse.
