Making jokes—well, yes. You got your social media platform, didn't you? You got to hang out your little signs. Are you going to Masig? Will you speak to the elders? You will not. You can't even spell these places. You can't locate them on a map. You care little for these people—a people who have been here for generations, for tens of thousands of years, who have protected and taken care of their country, who have fished those waters, who have loved that salt water. The octopus god, Malo, lives there. And you betray them. Every time that you let the Nationals talk down net zero and every time that you take down renewable energy you betray the Torres Strait and everything that they stand for.
