Dr Lowitja O'Donoghue remembered as 'one of the most remarkable leaders this country has ever known'

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that this story includes images of an Indigenous person who has died. Dr Lowitja O'Donoghue, who fought endlessly for the rights of her people, has died aged 91.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au

How can people read her story and not gain some understanding of how disadvantaged a history the indigenous of this country have had?

I was never taught this history in primary or high school. I imagine there would have been a completely different attitude towards the indigenous in the town and at the school if I was.

At least it's different now.

It’s a long time since I left school. But part of the process of Acceptance, Respect and Reconciliation is through education at a young age.
It should be part of the school curriculum throughout Australia, teaching all kids Indigenous history and culture

Another Putin rival dead

apple.news

Even from prison, the 'president Russia never got' had an impact on politics. Now he's paid the price — ABC News

Alexei Navalny's decades-long crusade for a more democratic Russia saw him cast as President Vladimir Putin's archenemy, but his fight appears to have ended with an early death in prison.

I wonder if on the Putin Propaganda Program that *smile* Carlson did recently, if *smile* Carlson asked just one real question. That question being “ Vlad old buddy, can you explain to the world why all your political opponents and critics either end up dead, in prison or just disappear?”

“Fake news”.

“They're probably sick criminals who don’t have any sense of direction” says Putin

Maybe *smile* up Carlson wasn't game to ask that question, just in case he was the next to disappear.

One of the braver men to have ever lived.

Yeah a martyr for democracy.

Could have lived a comfy life in Berlin, cushy gig lecturing politics, lobbied in exile,

But chose a siberian prison (take a read of a day in the life of ivan denisovitch if you havnt read it),

And certain death.

An Incredible force for good,

but he'd have to be a bit unhinged himself wouldnt he?

I suppose he probably knew putin would novachoc him again whereever he was, so
He may as well make a point?

Any fans of the original Office? The British version?

RIP Ewan Macintosh, AKA Big Keith. Died this week, aged 50, from a two year illness. Would be one of the most underrated, unsung characters. A cracking performance as Big Keith.
