“folks who are closest to the problem are also closest to the solution” 💥💥 - Marbre Stahly-Butts #RebLawAu

so much of how we exercise power goes unseen and that’s not an accident. Power is invisibilised because it is very violent - Stahly-Butts #RebLawAu

accountability is about who you go home to, who you explain your actions to, who you apologise to… Stahley-Butts is electrifying. On relationality and de-centering the law and lawyers as gatekeepers in movements for change #RebLawAu

Noura Ekarat on permanent v indefinite. The zionist project is indefinite. Permanence is definite.

This reminds me of our refugee policy of indefinite detention v definite carceral sentences. #RebLawAu

it is not the court but Palestinian organising and uprising that drives resistance to the evictions, the ethnic cleansing. The court is TOLD that its orders will be determined outside the courtroom - Erakat, paraphrased #RebLawAu

discovery doctrine as colonial law, international law. Erakat on international law as a tool of imperial expansion, including Law of the Sea, is sooo brilliant. “The ICC is a political body”. #RebLawAu

decisions about prosecution of Israel are geopolitical, not legal - Erakat #RebLawAu

Noura Erakat wraps up referring us to her article co-authored with John Reynolds #RebLawAu

Feel free to mute by hashtag.

opening spiel: locking in new security architecture. The prime minister finds new friends in Washington. But not ALL was positive! #Insiders

[no aspect of this anglophone imperialism is positive] #Insiders

Deb Kilroy appreciation tweet #RebLawAu

abolition is an everyday practice. It opens up so much possibility. Prisons are not sites of accountability. What about the murderers and rapists? Welp, the current system does not stop murder and rape. #RebLawAu

abolition stands counter to reformism, says Alison Whittaker. Reformist changes try to change conditions in prisons rather than challenging the legitimacy of prisons and carceral logics. Tinkering at the edges. #RebLawAu

Marrawah Johnson: we can not rely on litigation to save us but the significance of Mabo No 2 (1992) - the High Court rejected legal fiction of terra nullius and Wik Peoples bringing the principles of Mabo to the mainland and survival of native title on pastoral leases #RebLawAu

there has been a conscious and intentional uncoupling of Indigenous rights from human rights - Marrawah Johnson #RebLawAu

human rights are not new to Aboriginal law. It is colonial law that stripped First Nations people of their human rights. It has been convenient for settler colonial law to violate the rights that are enshrined in First Nations law - Marrawah Johnson, abridged #RebLawAu

hearing acting prime minister Barnaby Joyce campaigning on the Holden in every garage and chicken in every pot slogan plagiarised by Menzies in the 1950s from a US Republican slogan of the 1920s. Sounds about right.

our particular brand of 233 year old white supremacist squattocracy never gets old I guess. Go hard, acting prime minister Joyce. Judging by the many previous race elections, it is a winning formula mate.

“economic anxiety” white males being all violently plague spready on the streets while nurses do what they do, teachers do what they do, MOTHERS do what we do, cleaners do what they do. Righto champ.

Rodney Croome is such a veteran legend activist. He finds it easier to work with lawyers who can see whats possible instead of whats impossible🔥#RebLawAus

example is the case he took to the UN Human Rights Committee (Toonen v Australia 1991). I’ve been writing up some HR content for first years around this case, which is still so incredibly unusual, for an Aust case to get up. #RebLawAus

the marriage equality campaign strategy via states and territories, to test the Commonwealth Marriage Act 1961, was a success in the sense that ACT Civil Unions made formal same sex partnerships visible and “the sky didn’t fall in”. #RebLawAus
