After Invasion Day

Following the major rallies across the country last week to commemorate Invasion Day, the date on which, in 1788, the rising of the flag of Great Britain by Governor Arthur Philip at Port Jackson in NSW, this week on the show, we talk about what next, where to. I spoke with two of the organisers of the Melbourne Rally, Meriki Onus and Crystal McKinnon, from the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance. Their overall message is that for Aboriginal activists it’s business as usual, continuing the fight against racism, settler colonialism and working with communities experiencing the direct consequences of these systems of oppression.
