I am the first #Aboriginal person ever elected to the City of Sydney council. It took 179 yrs for that to happen.
I have spent my whole life being told, in ways big and small, that my people are less. This week a senator said it out loud, on the record, to the whole country.

What a weird coincidence it is that all these right-wing pastors are taking the same narrative as Donald Trump right before the midterms! Jesse Dollemore breaks down the BS.
