Question: Do you know who Australia’s Head of State is? Answer: King Charles III We had some fun on ‘The Jury’ on Sky News Australia this week talking about Australia’s Head of State and Australian Republic. Only trouble was, we ran into a major hurdle - head of the monarchists, Eric Abetz tried to pretend that King Charles is not Australia’s Head of State! Even producing the appropriate clause in the Constitution wasn’t enough. Truthfully, it wasn’t a suprise. Attempts to avoid conversation about the monarchy’s suitability to represent contemporary Australia are understandable, since over 75% of Australians believe that Charles does not represent us, or our culture. Nonetheless, as I pointed out on the show, our intention is not to demonise Charles, or Australians who love the monarchy. Quite the opposite. We want to be honest but respectful of our history and all those who have contributed. We’re all Australians and can all work together to find the right path to our full independence as a country and will continue to let all Aussies know, we respect you and your views. Yes, including Eric. It’s less about Charles, and all about us. In future though, perhaps we can ground the conversation in reality, and stick to the book called the Australian Constitution?

What “culture” are you arguing for Craig Foster AM ? According to your regime, there is no Australian culture proper, just seperate minorities competing for an arbitrary ideal. The Crown is precisely what unites the diversity of culture (by a mere thread) in this country and other Commonwealth nations. There is a pervading anti-nationalist sentiment being promoted and adopted in the country thanks to public figures like you, consequently, assuming an already dismantled national identity. A “democratically” elected head-of-state is hardly going to magically invoke a sense of nationhood. On the contrary, Republicanism is simply ‘kicking the can’ further down the road into cultural oblivion because its ‘well-meaning’ ideology is built upon a fractured cultural foundation.

Dear Paulo, I can only join you in this celebration!!! The history of the liberation of Guinea-Bissau is one of the most fascinating of the continent. It offers several valuable lessons that can be applied not only in Africa but also in other regions striving for independence, self-determination, and development. Here are five key lessons: 1. Unity and Collaboration: Guinea-Bissau's struggle for independence was characterized by a united front involving various ethnic and political groups. African nations can learn the importance of setting aside internal differences and working collaboratively towards common goals for the betterment of their nations. 2. Persistence and Resilience: The liberation movement in Guinea-Bissau endured a long and challenging struggle against colonial rule. Africans can draw inspiration from this and understand that persistence and resilience are crucial when facing adversity and working towards a brighter future. 3. Innovation in Warfare: The Guinea-Bissau liberation movement employed innovative guerrilla warfare tactics that played a significant role in their success. African nations can learn the importance of adaptability and creative strategies when faced with powerful adversaries. 4. Local Leadership and Ownership: Guinea-Bissau's struggle was led by local leaders who understood the nuances of their society and culture. African nations can emphasize the importance of local leadership and ownership in shaping their destinies and promoting self-determination. 5. International Solidarity: The liberation movement received support from various countries and international organizations. African nations can learn the importance of forging alliances and seeking support from the international community to advance their causes and gain independence. These lessons are inspirational and practical insights for nations working towards achieving their national goals.
Celebrating Guinea-Bissau's journey to 50 years of freedom on this National Independence Day. May our nation thrive and prosper. 🇬🇼 A luta continua ✊🏿 #GuineaBissau #IndependenceDay

A nation reflecting: beyond January 26 January 26 means different things for different people in our community. It’s a day when those who have the opportunity to escape injustice can look forward to or acknowledge a better future here in Australia. For many people, this date marks the beginning of colonisation and the survival of our First Nations people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as their allies, consider this date as Survival Day. We must acknowledge the injustices and the devastating impact of colonisation. January 26 serves as a reminder of the creative resistance, resilience, and survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We need to understand the truth of what has happened in our past, acknowledge those past wrongs, and actively contribute to a better and more reconciled future. Listening is a powerful and supportive act. It can be uncomfortable, as it often means questioning and unlearning what we have held to be true. The path to achieving meaningful reconciliation is filled with many difficult challenges, as we have seen over the last year. There is still much we can do as individuals and as an organisation to close the gap and address the disadvantages faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Tomorrow is a momentus day for Australia... Just know this: The Uluru Statement from the Heart is an invitation to the Australian people from First Nations Australians. It asks Australians to walk together to build a better future by establishing a First Nations Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Constitution, and the establishment of a Makarrata Commission for the purpose of treaty making and truth-telling. The statement from the heart: Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tribes were the first sovereign Nations of the Australian continent and its adjacent islands, and possessed it under our own laws and customs. This our ancestors did, according to the reckoning of our culture, from the Creation, according to the common law from ‘time immemorial’, and according to science more than 60,000 years ago. This sovereignty is spiritual notion: the ancestral tie between the land, or ‘mother nature’, and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were born therefrom, remain attached thereto, and must one day return thither to be united with our ancestors. This link is the basis of the ownership of the soil, or better, of sovereignty. It has never been ceded or extinguished, and co-exists with the sovereignty of the Crown. How could it be otherwise? That peoples possessed a land for sixty millennia and this sacred link disappears from world history in merely the last two hundred years? With substantive constitutional change and structural reform, we believe this ancient sovereignty can shine through as a fuller expression of Australia’s nationhood. Proportionally, we are the most incarcerated people on the planet. We are not an innately criminal people. Our children are aliened from their families at unprecedented rates. This cannot be because we have no love for them. And our youth languish in detention in obscene numbers. They should be our hope for the future. These dimensions of our crisis tell plainly the structural nature of our problem. This is the torment of our powerlessness. We seek constitutional reforms to empower our people and take a rightful place in our own country. When we have power over our destiny our children will flourish. They will walk in two worlds and their culture will be a gift to their country. We call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution. Makarrata is the culmination of our agenda: the coming together after a struggle. It captures our aspirations for a fair and truthful relationship with the people of Australia and a better future for our children based on justice and self-determination. We seek a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about our history. In 1967 we were counted, in 2017 we seek to be heard. We leave base camp and start our trek across this vast country. We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future. Vote with heart
