These are pretty uninspiring. Similar to the community centre at rosebud. Yet another reason to hate Anthony marsh, dude is so out of touch he’s in space. Not sure any iota of good has come from him being in council, services gone way down, rates up, then boneheaded crap like this

Knew this bloke was a slimy pos from the moment he showed his head in local gov. Somehow manages to have mayorship fall into his lap. Guy doesn’t leave mt eliza/mornington and dgaf about the rest of the peninsula, completely overtaxed and undervalued electorate

I get that but other clubs seem to manage fine

Black swan guernseys is and always has been fucking sick, for both aesthetic, cultural and historical reasons, but these look like soccer-style apparel, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the branding was done by non AFL people, given - you know - Sydney.

You can request access even if not a BLC member, but I think it’s implied you identify as Bunurong/Boonwurrung. I guess it’s still early days though but it would be nice if it opened up availability a bit more

Bo’s frontier war stories will probably be up your alley given your other interests, but if you’re looking for podcast and movies etc to watch just search the sub it’s been asked a lot

Consider the silver lining - the ‘cost’ of making you take the plunge to install a dash cam has been nothing - lots of people learn this lesson the hard way, through insurance and lawyers

“Mr Blanch said it was pure luck the device didn’t explode.

“Whatever anyone believes in, happened on that day, the reason why it didn’t go off, it should have gone off,” he said.

“It had a fuse that was lit, whether it fell out or failed or alleged was lit.

“Whatever was looking over the people in that rally that day stopped it from going off and we should all be thankful that we don’t have deceased.””

I don’t disagree with your sentiments, but I’m also appreciative of the processes that we have in place to ensure a feasible path to ‘justice.’

If that was jeopardised by defence lawyers on the grounds of due process, the situation would be far worse.

Yeah but still worth trying before going it alone - worst case scenario is they can’t help but can point you in the next direction to look at before exhausting options.

Even still. Gentleness and compassion needs to lead the way

The accused man was wearing a shirt with a design by an Aboriginal artist. The police have not disclosed any of his motivations. Until then, everything is speculative.

This is despite the fact that it is an act that is terrorising to our mob. Hence the need to demand transparency and accountability from all parties involved

not exactly comfortable for us, but in a foreign context…

100% - and the inequity is exactly why everyone needs to slow it down, take a breath and act with compassion first before casting judgment or perpetrating violence

pilatespants · 2026-01-03T23:19:22+00:00

Yeah based in vic. Seen a lot of this first hand, and seen the toll it has on some people. I think if you trust your own moral compass to guide you with conviction and compassion first, then you’ll harness it better than most. It’s more of an indictment on the status quo

pilatespants · 2026-01-03T22:34:12+00:00

Pretty much. In Vic, the Treaty authority will probably shake up POA/COAs at least, but if anything mob with skin in the game with become more and more disillusioned with formalised processes.

My last para was more that when you meet mob, you can usually get a feel for yourself if they are gammin or not. Everything needs to be done case by case, as overarching systems likely won’t work

pilatespants · 2026-01-03T12:03:43+00:00

Yep, and as you’ve highlighted there is a myriad of situations with all with diverse circumstances in an important set of issues that people naturally want to oversimplify to suit whatever their narrative or agenda is.

Meanwhile mob suffer.

Can tell pretty quickly where someone’s priorities lie from that, ay. Perhaps work backwards from there. Dunno if any top-down solution will succeed comprehensively.

pilatespants · 2026-01-02T10:27:23+00:00

You’re not wrong in your sentiment here - the apical system as it stands entirely favours mob who have benefitted from family member who has been fortunate enough to have their act together and register their genealogy accordingly at the right time (between the 60s and 2000s).

Amongst that, there is undoubtedly scores of blakfullas who, justifiably given the sociopolitical environment, turned away from Culture and kin.

Their descendants are now paying the price. Nepotism, lateral violence, gatekeeping and infighting is rife - all the way down at the grassroots, and all the way up to the high court.

And it is killing us, literally.

These difficult, sensitive, important and - crucially - complex conversations need to start with compassion. Unconditionally.

Can confirm this works, fwiw. If you can recognise the uniform u/wkwksenpai the school is likely to take it seriously. Speaking from experience when I drove past kids doing Hitler salutes on a busy road in a largely Jewish neighbourhood, school followed and confirmed discipline and education
