Kon Karapanagiotidis says he feels ashamed to be Greek after Greeks booed the Welcome to Country
Kon Karapanagiotidis on Instagram and BlueSky:
I feel so ashamed as a proud Greek Australian to see Greeks booing a Welcome To Country last night. Shame on us. The First Nations community of Melbourne deserves a formal apology for the behaviour of Greek Australians last night. The Greek Australian community should formally apologise as should @southmelbournefc and @footballaus. This is not who we are as Greeks.

Oskar Martin - young Indigenous candidate in the Victorian Election 2026 for the Victorian Socialists
Victorian Socialists candidate Oskar Martin (@blaktrot on Instagram) is campaigning for the seat of Williamstown, saying he wants to challenge Labor's long-standing hold on the electorate and push for policies that put working-class communities first.
The young Indigenous candidate is campaigning against proposed Al data centres in Melbourne's western suburbs, including the $1.5 billion Green Square project and the broader expansion of CDC data centres.
Housing is also a key focus of Martin's campaign, with the candidate calling for more public housing and opposing plans to demolish the Williamstown towers at Floyd Lodge and Nelson Heights.
He is also advocating for greater public investment in essential services, including public transport, childcare and education.
Martin said he wants to see greater representation of young and Indigenous people in parliament, drawing inspiration from previous generations of Indigenous activists including Gary Foley and Ray Peckham.

One Nation's Victorian launch opened with an AI-produced video including a young black man with a machete, while Nicholson joked about holding a Welcome to Country and sarcastically used the Wurundjeri words Narrm (Melbourne) and Wominjeka (welcome).

Artificial Intelligence impact on Indigenous Australian communities, Survey
Hello, my name is Oscar Howell, and I am a journalism student at the University of Technology Sydney.
I am currently undertaking a research project examining the impact of Artificial Intelligence on journalism, with a particular focus on how AI-generated news content may represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
As part of my research, I will use AI software, including ChatGPT, to generate a series of news stories focused on Indigenous Australian topics. I am then seeking Indigenous Australian perspectives to review this content and identify how accurate or potentially harmful it may be.
I am reaching out to ask whether any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander members of this group would be interested in participating in the research. Participation would involve completing a short Google Forms survey in which you would read the AI-generated news stories and share your thoughts and feedback.
I will use your responses in my university research paper, and I will not publish them publicly. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you are welcome to decline if you do not wish to take part.
If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact me. Alternatively, if you know of an organisation, community group, or individual who may be interested in contributing an Indigenous perspective to this research, I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any assistance or guidance you may be able to provide.

The Eatock family: proud Aboriginal communists
The Eatocks were a family of Aboriginal communists who fought for Aboriginal and working-class rights. At the head of the family was Lucy Eatock, who, attracted to radical working-class politics during the great strikes of the 1890s, became an activist against conscription in World War I and subsequently a communist matriarch who led her large family in the fight against evictions and the 1930s depression-era austerity imposed on the working class in Sydney.
