Australia's Black Lives Matter protests in photos

I got to say I'm proud and saddened by my country today. Proud because Australians have turned out in tens of thousands all over the country, even in small regional towns which is unheard of. Saddened because this shit goes on back home too and has done for far too long. It's an issue that has long been ignored and I stand with my nations first peoples and can only hope things start to change.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

I lived in Brisbane for five years in the 70s and still have a lot of affection for the country and the people.
