The last few years since the referendum people have been emboldened to be more publicly racist, and at the same time support and allyship has totally dried up

Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get "Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023." “A lot of people in general feel really comfortable being racist.” 1/

As one of Freeplay's 11(ish) board members, I want to add my personal 2 cents to a few things about Freeplay in these fried af times. It's important to know I'm just a meager part of the Voltron that is Freeplay, and these are my personal opinions + do not reflect the view of the org or the board
