Heading up to the Torres Strait to hear from First Nations people about their priorities and aspirations, and to discuss the proposed Voice to Parliament.
Arrived to a very warm welcome in the Torres Strait, with Minister for Indigenous Affairs @LindaBurneyMP and Senator @nitagreenqld.
Here in the Torres Strait, we are consulting with leaders on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. Giving people a voice in decisions that impact them will lift our whole nation up. It is a simple courtesy, a common decency.
There’s always a #RandomSouthsGuy even in the Wongai Hotel on Horn Island in the Torres Strait #NRLSouthsPanthers
Today is #VietnamVeteransDay. Some 60,000 Australians served in the Vietnam War between 1962 and 1972, 521 of whom died; almost 2,400 were wounded. We give thanks and pay our respects to those commemorated on the Roll of Honour, and to the survivors who came home. Lest we forget.
The story of our Vietnam veterans is one of strength and courage. Today, we say thank you. We acknowledge your service, and the sacrifice of those you left behind too. And we will ensure that your bravery is never forgotten.
#Ernies the winner is Paul Kelly ‘the women’s movement won’t decide the next election’ (Yah reckon, sunshine?)

Michael Hurley on the week at Essendon: “For me there’s probably an element of frustration. Throughout my career I’ve craved a bit of stability and a settled footy club. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be that way at the moment.”
“Indigenous leaders have slammed Anthony Albanese’s government as “hypocrites” for pledging to campaign for an Aboriginal voice to parliament while ignoring the pleas of remote communities to keep the cashless debit card for welfare payments.”
[David Hurley] has done the bidding of the PM and made a fool of himself in the process. According to Crikey readers, it looks like nothing can save the governor-general this time either [FREE TO READ] #auspol
Essendon has confirmed Michael Hurley will make a remarkable return to the field this weekend after a life-threatening infection. It will be his final game in the AFL. What a story 👏
