I feel a deep sense of shame and grief tonight with millions of other Australians who voted #YES today. Imagine what First Nations People are feeling now. We have failed them today. We must redouble our efforts for Voice, Treaty &amp; Truth. #Referendum2023 #Referendum #VoteYes

Pauline #Hanson is a friend of the billionaire class not the working class and she scapegoats migrants for cost of living pressures to hide this. #OneNation

The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre ASRC was robbed again last night. That’s twice in two days. I’m trying my best to still hold onto my compassion. What matters is everyone is safe, everything else can be replaced.

#BREAKiNG. Unbelievable &amp; despicable. Albanese Gov trying to ram thru a new law to block almost all people from #Iran with valid visas to Australia, from entering. While signing us up for an illegal war to apparently liberate the very same people they are shutting the door on!

Let me explain in 2 mins how Peter Dutton’s call to ban all #Palestinian #refugees from #Gaza has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with racism and sowing the seeds of division and fear for political gain.

I’ll never vote for a party that hates our country and the working class, that’s One Nation. I’m proud to have grown up in a poor working class family, be public school educated, don’t support the big parties &amp; I give a damn about my neighbours and my whole community.

I have to provide a receipt to my employer even if I buy a coffee while on a work trip but you’re telling me the Australian Government has been handing out millions to corrupt officials and contractors with no paper trail on Nauru. That stinks to high hell.

Imagine a 90% migration cut to international students and skilled immigration, it would be dire for our economy. Well that’s the level of cuts needed according to the Guardian to met Dutton’s target of 160,000 net migration places by next financial year.

We urgently need new blankets and new oil heaters for Palestinian families who have newly arrived from Gaza. 1/3 are children. You can drop them off this Saturday, 13 July 8am-12pm via the ASRC garage (can drive right in), opposite 46 Albert Street, Footscray.

I’ve been receiving a lot of online abuse for my video in Greek in support of voting YES to the Voice, so the only thing to do is a new video for Greek Australians doubling down on why they should vote YES. As Greeks we should understand why. Here it is. Please share. #VoteYES

Albanese Gov has deported the first person under their shady new deal with Nauru. Nobody should live in fear of being ripped from their community. To stop these deportations, email your MP &amp; let them know we won’t stand for this

"We might as well go back to the White Australia Policy. These people belong in this country, they're welcomed by my people." Senator Lidia Thorpe talking about people who continue to contribute to our communities &amp; how Labor and the Coalition repay them.

Welcome to our table of humanity, hope and unity. Every culture and faith from more than 50 countries sharing a meal together at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre today. You can support compassion and welcome for refugees through your donation. Donate:

I believe in looking after working class Australians and making sure there is a safety net for all. Guess who doesn’t? Pauline #Hanson and #OneNation who hates the working class and is in the pockets of billionaires.

We have 7 weeks to save the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre from the risk of having to close its doors. 7,000 people seeking asylum are counting on us. Our work is not done. Help #SAVEtheASRC. Donate:

The ASRC is at risk of having to close its doors in 7 weeks without your help We’ve been sticking to our budget but cost of living pressures means donations are down 45% We’re surviving off our savings for now as we take no Fed Gov $ Help #SAVEtheASRC

We are bigger than hate. When we allow First Nations people or migrant communities to be scapegoated, we let governments &amp; big corporations off the hook. Tomorrow and everyday, we are proud to stand with First Nations people, migrants and refugees.

One year ago today I voted YES with 6.2 million Australians for a Voice for Indigenous People in our Constitution. That YES remains as stronger as ever. Yes to closing the gap &amp; listening to elders. Yes to self determination &amp; better health outcomes. Yes to Voice, Treaty &amp; Truth.

Thanks to all the men continuing to send me abuse, you’ve helped my last video garner 106,000 views 🙏🏼🥰 and inspired me to do a 3rd video in support of #YES to the #VOICE in #Greek. Here it is. Please share this if you can and vote yes on October 14th. #VoteYES

Millions of us have awoken with a deep sense of grief, sorrow and anger. No more so than First Nations people. The question for all non Indigenous people is how do we seize today to redouble our commitment to voice, treaty &amp; truth. The work starts now. #Referendum #Referendum23
