One of the highlights of my week was being part of the FNQ Youth Assistance Fund presentation. It was great to see the names of Tom Pyne, Ray Jones and others being used to help people, even though they are no longer with us. Well done to Far North Queensland Youth Assistance Fund and all the recipients.

January 26 marks the beginning of the colonisation of this land, which led to ongoing dispossession and violence against First Nations people.

Black deaths in custody, child removal rates and incarceration rates are becoming worse. Meanwhile land, waters and sacred sites are being destroyed by mining and gas giants.
