Here’s what we’re reading today:
#Russia and #Iran have signed a ‘comprehensive partnership agreement’ valid for 20 years.
Unlike a similar #treaty with N. Korea, it states that if one party is attacked, the other is not obliged to provide defense, but they won't arm the attacker.

Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in front of New Zealand’s parliament as a march against proposed changes to Maori rights reached the capital.
For anyone outside of #Aotearoa #newzealand wondering about the background of the current #Hīkoi and demonstrations, there is a useful documentary from ABC Australia.

While you all are 'Lest We Forget'-ing all over yourselves, take a moment to think about the Frontier Wars.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
Watching more people crying about those two police dogs that were killed being left in the back of a locked cop car, than ever said shit about the Ngaanyatjarra Elder and Culture Man who was literally cooked to death in the back of a prison transport van in 2008.
Australians, esp journalists, politicians and commentators maintaining their focus on Lydia Thorpe's swearing-in 'validity' and her right to be in the Senate are willfully missing point.
When they focus on her behaviour and manners at APH rather than what she was communicating, they are willfully missing the point.
Those who opine she disagreed with the Voice and so now its all her fault the referendum did not get up must also pretend there was not an LNP fronted, billionaire funded campaign against the Voice, and are willfully missing the point.
The point is that over two centuries of colonialism, dispossession and injustice have profound, ongoing consequences, and these need to be acknowledged. And owned.
And this ownership has an unbroken chain of custody dating back to 1788. So the choice to retain that family as our Head of State means non-FN folk must accept the bad with the anodyne kitch 'good', and own this too.
Why are we so willfully blind to this? Why is this so difficult to understand and communicate?
For the critics of Senator Thorpe, would ask a simple question.
Why do Australia's mining billionaires pour their wealth into anti-treaty causes and clients such as the National Party and News Corp?
'Not your land. Not my king.'
Senator Thorpe alerts billions of potential allies in the fight for treaty, terrifying Australia's billionaire mining barons and their minions.
Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay!
Regardless of where you live (on #TurtleIsland), here's a wonderful resource mapping the presence (past or present) of #indigenous people. It allows you to widely search, apply multiple layers (i.e., by #tribal affiliation, #language, or #treaty), and access other additional information (incl. contacts for current representatives).
Well, I mean.. if an Australian government denies they're being anti-Indigenous, they must be telling truth

Hikoi returning from Waitangi, praying on the bridge, 1984
A group of Maori halted before batton carrying police. In the centre of the frame a Maori man in a cloak holds a flag with Maori patterning. In the rear, to his right, another Maori man has on a sweatshirt with the words, 'The Treaty is a Fraud'. Many in the group have their heads bowed. The woman on the right is wearing a long dress with an embroidered star above each breast.
