GetUp quoted a board member's fear—but blocked staff from speaking about Gaza. No Palestine campaigns. No space for Arab, Muslim or First Nations voices. One story made the email. Dozens were silenced.This isn’t solidarity. It’s spin. @getup.org.au

Traditional Owners demand genuine First Nations voices in water management after 'tick and flick' approach to accrediting a NSW water resource plan

#alwayswasalwayswillbe #firstnationsjustice #auspol

These Traditional Owners are demanding that First Nations voices are heard on water

A confederation of Indigenous nations says that government must take what they have to say seriously, instead of just a 'tick and flick' approach.

@getup.org.au erased First Nations leadership, blocked Gaza campaigns, abandoned migrant staff, and pushes petitions that go nowhere. Now they want your donations? Don’t fall for it.

We’ve been having this conversation for years, and all the expert evidence points to raising the age to at least 14 and helping children avoid contact with the criminal legal system.

14 is the bare minimum.

Anything less is Labor falling short.
