Last night, the news headlines were all about the riots in Minnesota, the pain of the African American people, and the death of George Floyd. A google search this morning of “National Reconciliation Week” on the first few pages returns no results from any major News outlets here in Australia.

Instead, their websites are filled with news from America and I’m left wondering…

Why are the cries of America louder than the original custodians of the land we now call Australia?
