Megan Evans | (Don’t) Question the Fake Carbon Forests Carbon markets have been hailed as key to our climate response but in actuality, have turned out to be largely greenwash. Listen as Megan Evans advocates for genuine environmental progress.

"Criticism is the essential first step to identifying solutions. It helps to open up possibilities and allows us to imagine other alternatives, rather than simply accepting that one option is the only way forward." Podcast of my #FODI talk from August unswcentreforideas.com/article/mega...

Poster for the 'Counterfeit People' session at Festival Of Dangerous Ideas, featuring Lizzie O'Shea, Patrick Stokes, and Emily Van Der Nagel, chaired by Rob Brooks

Excited to be on this panel for #FODI at Carriageworks in Sydney on 25 August. Full program and tix: festivalofdangerousideas.com/program/

Reimagining our Foreign Policy: in Conversation with Penny Wong — Whitlam Institute Penny Wong, Labor’s spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, joined Whitlam Institute Director and former senior UN official Leanne Smith to talk about the future of Australia’s place in the world.

Been thinking a lot about last week’s @Whitlam_Inst conversation with #PennyWong about Reimagining our #ForeignPolicy & Prof Marcia Langton’s #FODI talk #DangerousFictions

Watch now if you missed out

“Our existence doesn’t negate theirs”

“Australians are in no way dismissed by acknowledging the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders... to say I love this country in the same way Aboriginal people do...”

Most Australians don’t read constitutions, history
Australians aren’t politically literate enough to engage in these discussions

This is eerie given the current changes in #highereducation 😳

Liberal democracy preference individualism
Is out capable of recognition of collective people?

Great question from #StanGrant at #FODI
#DangerousNarratives

Reminds me of Prof Bruce Pascoe’s recent webinar via UTS
The selfishness at the heart of #capitalism #patriarchy

If they give constitutional recognition to us, then they acknowledge the enormity of their crimes

The cunning of recognition (property rights + prove it)

“Your rights are washed away on the tides of history”

Me: I don’t think enough historians and archaeologists think about this in their work

There is evidence Indigenous peoples 120,000 years in Australia

Imagine having a connection to your land for that long and then being torn away from it, your people eradicated, and told to ‘get over it’

It’s difficult for people from other countries, even Australians, to understand that the #BLM movement includes advocating for light skinned Indigenous people

Aborigines and settler
It is a particular type of racism, settler rage

#Race powers in #legislation benefit ‘citizens’ to the detriment of Aboriginal people

Ideas of race have evolved and changed from oppressive forms in the 18th / 19th C
