Friday's Invasion Day protest in Canberra. We marched through the streets from Garema Place to Parliament House. We stopped traffic on the way. Police officers were blocking the entrance to the grounds of the House, so one Aboriginal woman leading the rally pushed her way through the police line, fell to the ground, got up and ran. We gradually pushed towards the officers. They broke line and sprinted up the grounds to block the doors. It was amazing and a bit frightening. The House was apparently put into lockdown. The march involved multiple Indigenous groups' rights this year. Aboriginal rights, Palestinian rights, and West Papuan rights. I hadn't heard of the turmoil going on in West Papua. It's a province a few hundred kilometres north of Australia, where the fight for West Papuan independence from Indonesian occupation has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displacements.
