OK, let's unpack this.

"We want peace. Stop the killing of our people"

Who's killing 'your people', other than the 34-80 TIMES greater chance of a woman being the victim of domestic violence at the hands of a family member?

"Stop the incarceration of our people" /2 https://twitter.com/Josieamycashman/status/1355386300476518401
2. People are only incarcerated after they are found guilty of crimes. Ergo, if someone doesn't want to be incarcerated, don't commit crimes.

"Stop the stealing of our children"

They are rescued from sexual and physical abuse and neglect. They are not stolen. /3
3. Moreover, the rate of removal of children has tripled since the Kevin Rudd National Apology in 2007. That tokenism did nothing to improve Closing the Gap targets. What will changing the date, the flag, the anthem and a Voice to Parliament and Treaty do? /4
4. "We want land"

You have native title. You have communities that non-members of must seek permission to enter.

"We want some of the resources and wealth"

You get $30+bn p.a. You get fortnightly money for doing nothing. You get mining royalties up to six figures p.a. /5
6. You get free housing.

And you, yourself, Lidia, got free money from Indigenous Business Australia which was never repaid when you declared bankruptcy for over $600,000.

One wonders if she has ever had red dirt between her toes.
