TELL THE QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT TO SAVE SAWFISH WITH GILLNET FREE ZONES IN THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA

The Gulf is part of the last global stronghold for four of the world's five #sawfishes and is the only known home in #Queensland for #SpeartoothSharks. These species include those that are #CriticallyEndangered and require urgent action for their #conservation.

The creation of #NFZ s are crucial to the survival of these threatened #sharks and #rays, as well as other iconic threatened species

Wide-ranging, unflinching and horrifying, this documentary lets Indigenous people speak out about centuries of legalised killing. No wonder it created shockwaves #Indigenous #IndigenousMastodon #Indigedon #Mob #RachelPerkins #IndigenousAustralians #IndigenousFilm #IndgFilmClub

A statement from #IndigenousAustralians who supported #TheVoice referendum - #UluruStatement from the Heart https://ulurustatement.org/a-statement-from-indigenous-australians-who-supported-the-voice-referendum/ “This is a bitter irony. That people who have only been on this continent for 235 years would refuse to recognise those whose home this land has been for 60,000 and more years is beyond reason.”

“I have worked with #IndigenousAustralians who have significant local community experience in Indigenous health care as well as Indigenous health experts. It has been my experience that engagement with #IndigenousVoices is a key to improving services and policies.

Sadly, some Australian governments have been reluctant to accept Indigenous advice. The current “No” campaign appears to reject this important principle.” #TheVoiceToParliament https://bird.makeup/users/themja/statuses/1707274174643769547

I would like to have some more First Nations Australians voices on my feed, if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them, particularly queer folks, academics and artists ​:shinx_happy:​
