#DobInAMateWhoDoesSomethingGreat ! I’d like to dob in Robyn Westgate and Sheldon Smith. You both have been wonderful MATEs to me; helping, supporting, encouraging and building me up at every opportunity. Your genuine care and authenticity entirely match the content you teach. You truly walk your talk. It’s an absolute honour and pleasure to work with you and to call you friends 🌻! A bit of background: The MATE Bystander Program is a fantastic framework that supports the eradication of gendered violence, through research-backed and highly practical information. The framework is an easy-to-remember, simple way of identifying ways in which we can address inappropriate behaviours etc, while keeping ourselves safe in the process. There’s so so many things we can do … it’s not only about ‘Calling it out’ (although this certainly has its place!). This initiative is wonderful because effecting change in this space is about inviting people INTO the conversation, not shutting anyone out or denigrating them. And so by dobbing in our ‘MATES who do something great’, we are celebrating the actions that will counteract this huge problem in Australia; we’re keeping the conversation real and constructive; and we’re appreciating people and making them feel good! And who doesn’t want that? Find the sparkly moments and people in your day today all; appreciate them; and be well 😉 -Jules 🌻x

South-western Victoria’s Gunditjmara people had to prove a “special interest” in their own Country in a High Court ‘land’ case against Alcoa of Australia. They won. Although Australia’s systems of law and policy still requires First Nations – who have been here for 65,000 years – to go to Court to prove a special interest in land or sea, this case and others should offer pause to offshore wind proponents and investors aiming to reduce project risk. For First Nations people, Sea Country is inseparable from terrestrial Country. Just as the courts found with land, marine areas have been owned and cared for by First Nations for millenia through complex systems of responsibilities and management of rights including ownership, use, and exclusion of others. As described in evidence by one Traditional Owner, “The earth and the sea, the water is not empty.” There is an ongoing relationship with both that ethically, and legally, should not be ignored. Australia’s failure to recognise this has resulted in First Nations’ relationships with Sea Country being made “invisible” to-date. Perpetuating the myth of terra nullius in Australia’s offshore areas could prove costly. Early engagement, transparent information, enabling free prior and informed consent, building trusting relationships leading to partnerships, benefit-sharing, and equity and ownership including a seat at the table can reduce delay in Australia’s offshore clean energy transition.

“Black land ownership in the U.S. has dwindled to critically low numbers. In 1910, Black farmers owned more than 16 million acres of agricultural land (about 14%). Today, a staggering 90% of that land is no longer in Black hands. That amounts to an estimated loss of $326 billion denied to generations of Black Americans — a significant contributor to the U.S. racial wealth gap.” #blackfarmers #economicinclusion #ownership #generationalwealth
