"The justice system is a "stain on Australia's reputation"."

"A delegation of United Nations inspectors have raised the alarm about Australia's treatment of children, First Nations people, people with disability and migrants in detention."

"The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention visited detention facilities in New South Wales, Western Australia and the ACT, but was denied access to all Northern Territory institutions in an international first... The Northern Territory barred all access to inspectors in a worldwide first."

A very worthwhile read indeed!!

At least #Canada 🇨🇦 is taking steps of reparations towards our #FirstNationsPeople to try to make amends & to correct the history we were taught in school..

LeMay's work for the indigenous in Canada is well known, but this year's book helps Canadians (& US folks!) understand what reconciliation means & what allyship looks like. It begins simply: learn and engage.

Floods are essential for wetlands

"The largest wetland on Australia’s second longest river, the Murrumbidgee in the southern Murray-Darling Basin, is drying up.The lack of floods has devastated the floodplain, causing black box and river red gum forests to die. Waterbird numbers also plummeted."
"Australia’s rivers are at risk, but it’s not too late to act. By reducing over-allocation and returning water to the environment we can protect threatened and endangered species, reduce the impacts of climate change, and honour the cultural heritage of First Nations Peoples."

No water justice for First Nations
"In a letter addressed to federal parliamentarians and signed by co-authors, the group criticises the "persistent and notable" failure of state and federal governments to "acknowledge and safeguard First Nations' rights and interests in water laws and policies" over the life of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan."

John Oliver got it right back in 2013 when he described Australia as “a coastal paradise surrounding a rocky hell”. He said: “Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I’ve ever been in. They’ve really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.

Nothings changed in 10 years.

I would like to have some more First Nations Australians voices on my feed, if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them, particularly queer folks, academics and artists ​:shinx_happy:​

As a civil servant in #Argentina, I'm obliged by law to take a course on eco-development, what we call sustainable development in the countries of the North.
Let's just say that Argentina is not globally advanced in this area, as all countries are.
In France, I had the equivalent of an MBA on the subject. It's just that it's not called an MBA ("éco-conseiller", specialised master's degree) because, you know, you won't become rich and famous after this degree...
Fundamentally, Argentina and what Latin America has generated in terms of educative content since 1972 in this field is amazing.
I think that without self-training, I'd be the equivalent of Cro Magnon because the concept has evolved so much here.

Today's #BooksAndCoffee is brought to you by a little day trip to Shrewsbury. I'm drinking an oat latte at #IronAndFireCoffee and reading Moon of the Crusted Snow, a slow-paced First Nations apocalyptic tale by #WaubgeshigRice.

What are you drinking and reading?
