I think I speak for all of Australians when I say we want our political leaders focusing on helping all Australians get through this cost of living crisis and tackling housing affordability and yet Peter Dutton is spending his time trying to divide us based on where we were born.


The propaganda that West just eats up. Put your brains back in people!

Too many people have expressed outrage at our advocacy for Palestine. You haven't been paying attention. Here's some of the incredible perspectives on Palestine Overland has published over the years ✊🏾

March 31st is Transgender Day of Visibility - let's celebrate Indigenous trans peoples lives. It's also my 57th birthday, sharing the link below could be a present?! I've written a thread that's a plea to cis Indigenous writers and content creators to include us. #TGoV23

🧵Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates trans visibility and how it contributes to our survival. Seeing ourselves on TV, reading ourselves into stories we love is just a fantasy for a lot of trans Indigenous people. Indigenous writers & creators could change that. #TDoV2023
