big thanks to the amazing groundstaff at Qantas Melbourne who were the cool, calm, consummate professionals last night as they dealt with a long queue of tired stranded passengers. I didn't get to CBR, & I've missed today's event at Braidwood, but you got me home safe by taxi.

A fantastic thread on why it's NEVER okay to ask someone what % Aboriginal they are or tell an Indigenous person they're "snow white" and so can't be Aboriginal. Please take the time to read and understand. Thank you Tanushree for putting in the effort to create this thread.
