Good morning and welcome to Five Great Reads, written today on what always was and always will be Aboriginal land (Cammeraygal land, specifically – this has always been a multicultural place).
Whether it is a day to commemorate survival; to protest ongoing injustice; or if it’s just another work day for you, I hope all First Nations readers are able to do what they need to get through today, and that everyone else takes a moment to reflect on the history of this land and considers paying the rent (my colleagues have a podcast about that for you to listen to). And if you’re reading this from outside Australia and have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a piece from Chelsea Watego on the meaning of 26 January.
