This #NAIDOC week I yarned with the @star_observer looking to the future with a call to action for rainbow communities to walk with Aboriginal communities to advance Australia to achieve equitable outcomes.

Research by queer Wiradjuri man @ToddFernando highlights the need for health services to cater to the whole person as a human right, and that includes Indigenous LGBTIQ+ Australians → https://t.co/qYwYYFAV4F

My allyship is non-negotiable. "This article is a defence of trans people, because sadly they still need it. I would prefer trans and gender diverse people be celebrated, loved and supported, not attacked." https://t.co/HgjwBiaJCt

Julie Szego’s recent op-ed surrounding Melbourne councillor Rohan Leppert’s commentary on the “trans issue” in the Greens Party does no favours to Victoria’s equality movement.

Officially, our birthday was yesterday, when seeing as it was World AIDS Day, we officially celebrate the occasion on the 2nd of December, 28 years of JOY. Thank you so much to those who have helped bring JOY to life from 1993 to now. Here's to many more years of JOY! 🏳️🌈🧡

A great opportunity to play a leading role in how we understand the data that tells the story of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ people.

I’m both honoured and excited to help keep the wheels turning as Acting Commissioner. We must all play a role in supporting LGBTIQ+ Communities.
Just to let you all know, @ToddFernando will be stepping in as Acting Commissioner to keep the wheels turning while the recruitment process for the new LGBTIQ+ Commissioner gets underway. He will be here for four months, at only three days a week, so go gently.
