The same political parties, that just spent months of time and hundreds of millions of dollars campaigning for a Voice to Parliament for Indigenous Australians, just voted against a Royal Commision investigation into the abuse of Indigenous children.

What the actual hell????? All that talk about Indigenous rights and recognition, about reconciliation. And a couple days later, the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs, an Indigenous woman and daughter of an Elder, made a call for an official investigation into the sexual abuse of Indigenous children, and it was voted down.

Showed their true colours quickly. Nothing but a bunch of political grandstanders who can talk the talk but won't walk the walk. They don't care about Indigenous people.

Letter relating to co-design for foundational supports template

Emailing politicians can be intimidating. Below is a template email regarding the importance of youth advocacy in foundational supports.

Co-design for foundational supports

Dear Senator Steele-John [or insert your local member]

The Department of Social Services is halfway through the first stage of consultations regarding the introduction of Foundational Supports, which have a planned end date of the 30th of November. 

Peak bodies such as CYDA have reached out to young people and asked us to provide them with feedback, so that they can advocate on our behalf. While this intermediary engagement is welcome, it is disappointing that DSS have chosen to not directly engage with us.

We deserve to be heard without needing peak bodies to speak on our behalf.

Government policies have determined that teenagers can have their own Medicare account at 14; and we can learn to drive at 16; but apparently, we can't be engaged in political and system advocacy that directly impacts our lives. 

The next stage of Foundational Supports consultation needs to be inclusive of young people with disability if it is going to be truly supportive of us.

Teenagers grow up into voters. Whenever consultation processes are planned, please remember that we are ready, willing and waiting for opportunities to contribute. 

Regards [your name]

Who would I send this to?

I have used Senator Steele-John as an example as this request is in line with his political stances, however you could also send it to your local member.

It’s my hope that Tumblr is still a safe space from political interference when it comes to allowing the users to interact without fear that bots we interact with are sharing misinformation.

Listen. I hope I’m wrong. I hope in 1-3 days you all can point at this post and be like “look at this idiot for being paranoid.” I do. But I feel like the writing’s on the wall. There are no paths forward without Pennsylvania, and that gap is too large.

I hope the non-voters are happy. Legitimately. I hope the Green Party is happy. For real. I hope this outcome brings them the joy they hoped it would. I hope they don’t come to regret the next 2-4 years. I hope they’re at peace.

I hope Europe isn’t forced to change their stance on Ukraine like many Prime Ministers have warned they would. I hope there are Palestinians left in Gaza to liberate after Trump “finishes the job” and gets his real estate property. I hope the number of queer folk killed, whether individually or systematically, in the coming years is minimal. I hope the number of women killed by inaccessibility to medical care is minimal. I hope the number of disabled people who face financial hard times is minimal. I hope we genuinely can cruise through these next 4 years. I hope I’m still around to try and fix this in 2-4 years.

I hope the message the non-voters and Green Party sent is actually received. I hope they didn’t send the message to Democrats that conservatism is the way to win and what we should be embracing.

I hope that nothing in Project 2025 is completed. I hope we win at least one branch to throw a stick in the gears of fascism. I hope Trump bombs his second term so poorly that 2026 wipes the GOP out of the House and Senate.

I hope there’s still a global superpower to fix in 4 years. I hope that the corruption we’ve allowed to thrive tonight doesn’t infect our neighbors across the Atlantic like they fear it will.

I still hope for a better future. But I don’t believe that future is going to happen this time. I’m going to try to go to bed.

Please don't let a Yorkshire owned theme-park company destroy Loch Lomond. Look, I'm not eloquent enough to break everything down but this application, if put through would see the destruction of one of the most beautiful places in Scotland.

It holds so many precious memories. Wildlife would be affected drastically, tourism of that scale in this area would do more harm than good.

The link below will give you more details and there's also a petition. It would mean the world to me if you gave it some attention. Thank you.

Why would anyone want less CO2?

Less carbon dioxide equals less oxygen.

Less oxygen means bad things for you and me.

Question: Is Big Pharma part of this movement, too?
