In Conversation With Senator Lidia Thorpe & Lizzy Jarrett : My Genocide Bill

Senator Lidia Thorpe, The Sydney Basin Tent Embassy & The People Alliance present, "In Conversation With Senator Lidia Thorpe & Lizzy Jarrett: My Genocide Bill."

Join Senator Lidia Thorpe and Lizzy Jarrett for a powerful and critical discussion on the Genocide Bill, a significant legislative proposal presented by Senator Thorpe in the colonial headquarters. This bill, which seeks to address the ongoing legacy of 236 years of violence and dispossession against First Nations peoples, will be dissected in detail by Thorpe and Jarrett, who will also explore its profound implications for the fight for sovereignty and self-determination.

Since the arrival of colonisers, First Nations communities have endured the devastating impacts of so-called "civilisation"—impacts that continue to manifest in systemic dispossession, cultural erasure, and ongoing violence. Thorpe and Jarrett will discuss the harsh realities of the continuity of colonisation, and the relentless struggle of First Nations peoples to protect their land, culture, and rights in the face of ongoing colonial power structures.
