Hope. That’s what I felt when it was announced that we would have a vote to enshrine a Voice to Parliament in the constitution and be recognised as this land’s first people in the same document. Hope is what I get from the collection of stories I represent. Stories of sacrifice, struggle and resilience that flow through my veins from my ancestors. The vitriol and violence that has erupted through this campaign has been devastating, but not surprising. The direction I have feared we are heading has terrified me over the last few weeks and it’s threatened that hope. But as I look to Oct 14th now, just over a week out – as I consider all the genuine questions and desires from my non-Indigenous friends and family who want to do the right thing, as I remember the opportunity this vote brings – to give us mob the chance to change the gaps that still exist and have been widening for decades, to do something different so we’re not going back to the same methods and expecting different results, to build a brighter future for our next generations – I’m choosing hope. I’m choosing to believe people are generally good and want good things. I’m choosing not to be scared to raise my voice on it because trolls are nothing compared to what my dad and my grandparents before me have faced fearlessly. And I’m choosing to ask you all to vote YES. Vote for hope, vote for change, vote for a united, equal Australia we might all be able to be proud of 🖤💛❤️

I’ve come to Singapore to go on a little walk with my dear pal @alexander_campbell – you may remember almost a year ago I sat down with him to talk about why he was embarking on a journey to walk around the world 🌍 He’s almost 9 months in now and I’d promised before he left at some point I’d come and join him, so here we are! We’re only 11kms right now and we’ll end in Malaysia in a couple of days before I head home but it’s already clear seeing different parts of the world on foot is pretty special! ✨ Make sure you’re following him to keep up with all he’s experiencing! And check out his fundraiser for the vital work @fredhollows does 👟❤️
