At the moment, I feel like I am playing catch-up. I am an avid news reader yet whilst I was away, I cut myself off from the daily updates to give myself a break and focus on healing on country. But gee, didn't a lot of shit hit the fan in that time? TBC.

I want to begin by giving a shout out to all asylum seekers locked up in the Park Hotel Prison, MITA & other such detention centres. Australia's asylum seeker policies are a disgusting blight on human rights and contravene our UN commitments. Hope you're released soon ✊🏾

I also want to give a shout out to the thousands upon thousands of people with COVID right now (including my sister who was released from hospital this week), as well as the health care workers on the front lines slogging their guts out. My thoughts are with you all.

I want to also give a shout out to those holding firm at the Tent Embassy ensuring that our fight for land rights and treaties is not muddied in the lead up to the 50th anniversary of this protest. The tent embassy was an important part of my childhood in Canberra.

Finally, I want to give a shout out to dogs, particularly my pooch Stella, who is a rescue mutt. Thank you for liking humans and making our houses homes despite humans' countless number of faults as a species :)
