First Nations Voices and Solutions Thread:

“Thank you for watching #IncarcerationNation and signing up to #RaiseYourVoice. incarcerationnation.com.au Image
#IncarcerationNation is a story told by First Nations voices. The power of the film reflects the power and resilience of First Nations Peoples - and makes it clear non-Indigenous Australia must listen and be led by First Nations voices when it comes to justice and sovereignty. Image
#IncarcerationNation is changing the narrative. It's time to listen to First Nations voices and support community-led solutions. incarcerationnation.com.au Image
Watch & share the film:

#IncarcerationNation tells the truth of our history, from invasion to incarceration, with the voices of First Nations experts and those with lived experience. It is a powerful tool to share and support First Nations voices. Image

Supporting advocacy and solutions:

We are proud to work with a coalition of First Nations- and ally-led organisations. These organisations need support; because while the Government is pouring billions into a failing prison system, they are focusing on supporting community. Image
Help us support more First Nations led organisations:

Let us know about more incredible First Nations led organisations. #IncarcerationNation

#IncarcerationNation is committed to supporting as many First Nations and community led organisations as we can through our impact campaign. We want to grow a large community for support and change - this is just the beginning. Image
"#IncarcerationNation is a powerful and honest look at ourselves as Australians. It highlights the complete failure of our current justice system and gives us an insight into who we strive to be. It’s time for change!"

I love how Noel Pearson said Dutton wants to bury Uluru, but the problem is now it’s “alive”. Growing up my mob didn’t see trees and mountains as things that were “alive”. Took me a long time to learn and see and feel that. But he’s right, Uluru and the words have come to life.🧵
And I’ve not seen something that beautiful in my lifetime. On such a grand scale. Normally, it gets corrupted along the way. I’m glad I can see its’ raw and fresh beauty now and pure intentions. I can see the “No” scare campaign attempting to shut it down… But it’s alive.
I’m glad I’m old enough to see that. I can’t ask for more. Except for others to. The Uluru Statement from the Heart is the first words that penetrated my heart on a national and international level, spiritually, without religion, which is more powerful. Straight to the Heart.

For years I struggled to sit still, concentrate, do assignments, office work, appointments, registrations, etc. I was easily distracted. I’d procrastinate. A Psychiatrist thought I had ADHD. My attention is great today. There are so many tools. Martial Arts changed my brain. 🥷🇵🇭
It does not need to be Martial Arts, 🧘🏽‍♀️ Mindfulness also changes the brain. Although, some argue that it can be more difficult changing the brain with our minds, because our minds are so flippant (e.g. One minute we feel good. Next minute, we feel awful, so often unreliable).
This might account for why so many people say they hate 🧘🏽‍♀️ Mindfulness or that it does nothing for them. Mindfulness is also experiential. This means that it takes practice over time to appreciate its benefits, rather than to be understood by our intellect on day one.

“A belligerent samurai, an old Japanese tale goes, once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. The monk replied with scorn, "You're nothing but a lout - I can't waste my time with the likes of you!" #HealingTrauma
His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and, pulling his sword from its scabbard, yelled "I could kill you for your impertinence." "That," the monk calmly replied, "is hell."
Startled at seeing the truth in what the master pointed out about the fury that had him in its grip, the samurai calmed down, sheathed his sword, and bowed, thanking the monk for the insight. "And that,"said the monk "is heaven."

A highlight of my day:

@Lisa_Wilkinson: “So the advances in technology that @ScottMorrisonMP is proposing, you say they’re not enough?”

Former President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders at #COP26, Mary Robinson: “No. No. Not at all. I am not at all convinced.”
@Lisa_Wilkinson: “So why do you think @ScottMorrisonMP is relying on those so heavily?”
Former President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders at #COP26, Mary Robinson: “I’m afraid because he [@scottmorrison] is too influenced by the fossil fuel lobby.” #COP26Glasgow

“Most people going through the immigration process have to do it without Lawyers. They have to do it by themselves. They’re making their last fight against a trained government prosecutor, effectively as being blind folded, with your hands tied behind your back. #HealingTrauma
I am a Lawyer and a Law Professor and my wife is as well. I have two brothers who are Lawyers. A sister in law who is a Lawyer. I am surrounded by Lawyers. When I have a legal problem I don’t turn to my family to help me. I hire somebody to do it.
And certainly I’m in the privileged position of not having to deal with the kinds of high stakes matters that the folks who are in these facilities are. So that’s something that I’m certainly going to do because I understand the benefit, but Lawyers are only part of the answer.

How I Became A Warrior

“Once, I ran from fear so fear controlled me. Until I learned to hold fear like a newborn. Listen to it, but not give in. Honour it, but not worship it.” #HealingTrauma Image
“Fear could not stop me anymore. I walked with courage into the storm. I still have fear, but it does not have me.” Image
“Once, I was ashamed of who I was. I invited shame into my heart. I let it burn. It told me, "I am only trying to protect your vulnerability". I thanked shame dearly, and stepped into life anyway, unashamed, with shame as a lover.” Image
