"Keep talking with each other," On this episode of What's the Big Idea, Paul Barclay spoke to @thomasmayo.bsky.social about the next steps for Indigenous justice and reconciliation. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: australiainstitute.org.au/post/where-t...

This is why the investigation into the death of Kumanjayi White- and all investigations into Indigenous deaths in custody - should be conducted by an authority with a deep understanding of racism from an Indigenous perspective, and at arms length from police.

From page to stage. I never expected my book Dear Son - Letters and Reflections from First Nations Fathers and Sons to become a play. I’m so happy it has. It is something special. If you won’t get a chance to see the play, there’s always the book: publishing.hardiegrant.com/en-au/books/...

Always admired Thomas Mayo during The Voice campaign so decided to read his book. ‘Always was Always will be’ Should be compulsory and mandated reading in all secondary schools. I’m building a fire in my belly’ Thomas. I’m never giving up.

See you at Byron Writers Festival where I’ll be talking cultural and political nation-building in four big sessions! Such an honour to speak alongside greatly admired writers including Thomas Mayo, Barry Jones, Tom Keneally and more. Tix will sell fast: www.byronwritersfestival.com/festival/wri...

The parties of divide and conquer have thoroughly conquered themselves.

Great to see investigative journalism win. The costs, though, financially, emotionally, in terms of time and exhaustion, are too much. We desperately need to properly overhaul defamation laws in this country. #auspol

the exploiters use culture wars and other f#ckery to distract us from real issues. but ‘No.’ p.s. thankyou for the MWF panel today. 🙏 I just bought ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ on audible, ta! 💙

Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress. Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

Anthony Albanese pays his respect to the traditional owners of the land in which he stands, today and every day. #auspol

We really need to do something about this Australia

ICYMI, the full True Colours, last night’s #4corners on #auspol #australiavotes election is here. You can also catch up our website and on ABC iview. m.youtube.com/watch?v=C28O...

Great episode and essential viewing in this last week of the election campaign. #auspol

Dutton has been trying to distance himself from Trump. But in his routine failure to answer questions, his labeling of journalists as "hate media" and "left wing", his imperious view that he is beyond accountability, Dutton has shown he shares Trump's authoritarian impulses. #ausvotes #auspol

The more we know about Peter Dutton, the further in to the dark shadows the details get. Louise Milligan and the 4 Corners team did excellent work on the program last night. Dutton has questions to answer, #Auspol, though we know he won’t answer them.

Watch #4Corners. Support public interest journalism. #auspol #australiavotes

Our final #SundayShot before the election is up! @australiainstitute.org.au's @amyremeikis.bsky.social and @declassifiedaus.bsky.social's @petercronau.bsky.social chat with @davemilbo.bsky.social. And @thomasmayo.bsky.social stops by. Please watch & subscribe👇. youtube.com/live/ulyufDq...

Oooh excellent, @thomasmayo.bsky.social is an extra guest on today, on indigenous affairs and policy for election... www.youtube.com/live/ulyufDq... . #SundayShot #Ausvotes #Auspol

“We now know that the so-called grassroots funding campaign for the referendum ‘no’ case was really a handful of dark money donors - often foreign influence”. @thomasmayo.bsky.social #SundayShot #racism

Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander author and leader Thomas Mayo will be in conversation with AHA member Clare Wright, as part of the 2025 Sydney Writers Festival. Details and tickets are here: www.swf.org.au/program/seas...

If you don’t know the details about Dutton’s flip flopping policies, vote No to Liberal National candidate in the federal election.

Superb irony.

Brilliant 🙌

"If you don’t know the details about Dutton’s flip flopping policies, vote 'No!' to Liberal National candidates in the federal election. (Thomas Mayo) #auspol #ausvotes #election25

If you don’t know. Vote No. Put the Nationals last #auspol #cowpervotes

Evidence that you can run a quality political campaign without a single lie! #auspol

If you don’t know the details about Dutton’s flip flopping policies, vote No to Liberal National candidate in the federal election.

We need to tax gas companies properly so the Australian people get a fair share of our resources. Beer, spirits, and tobacco tax all raise more revenue than the Petroleum Resources Rent Tax. #auspol #Budget25

Keep an eye on Dutton and Taylor lying about this #auspol

It’s worth remembering that Dutton promised a referendum on constitutional recognition during the referendum on constitutional recognition and reneged as soon as the divisive impact he wanted was landed. He can’t be trusted. He never genuinely acts in the national interest.

Um…its because we are burning so many fossil fuels. The media are unable to link fossil fuels to climate change to the damage of climate change Burning coal, oil & gas heats oceans and atmosphere &causes more storms, bigger storms, more damage and higher insurance premiums. Its not complicated

Here is a better copy of the letter. 😊🦋

I have no idea why anyone would want to watch #MAFS in the first place, but I suspect I am not the target demo. That said, if you want to send a message that televising male violence against women is never acceptable, switch to 45 minutes of important investigative journalism on 4 Corners instead.

Getting ready to send our first Boiling Point update today where we're asking politically informed Australians (you!) to sign up & harness our collective reach in the lead up to #ausvotes25 Further details & sign up here #auspol > docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

LNP have told us exactly what they’ll do if they’re elected this year. Elect Dutton. Get Trump. It’s as clear as that #auspol

Kind of stunning really, but in January a record percent of adults in Australia had a job

In his newest book Always Was, Always Will Be, @thomasmayo.bsky.social investigates 'what's next?' for reconciliation and justice in Australia after the failed Voice to Parliament referendum. He will speak with Clare Wright at #NWF2025 🎟️This event will be live streamed. Learn more at bit.ly/4b6JsPT

The Coalition has misled the Australian people again by falsely claiming Labor has added 36,000 Canberra-based public servants since taking office when the real figure is 7464. Angus Taylor appears to have misread the budget. #auspol aap.com.au/factcheck/co...

I spent ten days in a remote indigenous community a couple of years ago. It was blighted by rheumatic heart disease & other chronic conditions. I couldn’t believe cost of groceries (in white-owned store) & poor quality. Spoiled fruit & veg, perishables past use by date amp.abc.net.au/article/1049...

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

When people like Dutton talk about “cultural diversity” or DEI jobs they’re essentially just denigrating non-white people. It’s straight racism and journalists need to call it out. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
