I’m only speaking for myself when I say this, but as a First Nations person and a woman, this has been an especially heavy time. We’ve seen three First Nations deaths in custody in the same week, two of which, only revealed under questioning. One woman and two men. In addition to this, we’ve been hearing about our Australian Government’s lack of care when it comes to the safety and well-being of women, even in their own workplace. When you’ve got white cis straight men on one side telling us that non-male identifying people are nothing, acting like First Nations lives mean nothing, what are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to feel?
