Ella Hooper Instagram – This is truer than ever. I’m feeling such a knotted mix of shame and and anger, disappointment resentment and frankly freaking out, (and I’m a privileged frikken white person who just cares.. it’s not MY life expectancy and infant mortality rates were talking about, so yeah..) but also waiting.. I know there will be many chapters after this. I’m just not sure how to express my sympathy in the meantime for all that worked so hard to try and better Australia in this regard with this referendum. I’m just so, so sorry. I know an Instagram post ain’t gonna do shit to help this week. But I stand with you First Nations people and I grieve and I wait for the next chapter where we figure out how to fix this fkn country and tend to and heal and acknowledge it’s awful bloody colonial roots. Truth telling. One of the key points of Makarrata – The Uluṟu statement from the heart. But What do we do if we can’t even hear it. Won’t even bring it to the big table. Ahh man. I guess we know – even more than we did before – a very ugly truth about our country. Allies, Let’s not go on with our heads up our arses, let’s acknowledge that we are living in and make up a very biased scared racist country. And let’s at least meet that head on.
