The recent attack on Camp Sovereignty in Naarm is colonial violence. It’s an attack on First Nations sovereignty + self-determination. We must do the work to amplify First Nations voices and hold violence to account. We stand with First Nations people. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal Land 🖤💛❤️

The speakers said decarbonising is a smart move and the way of the future. Interesting that the messaging "energy transition" was replaced by "economic diversification" 👀
