I too 'live on the other side of the world' but I recognize what is surely a sweeping, probably unfounded, generalization when I read one. Also I don't recall much if any "let's just go with, Israel bad!" rather than Israel bad for doing such and such. Which is pretty much the stance of most responsible citizens towards their own county's miscues and political/military disasters.
"I haven't seen anything, but, of course I'm on the other side of the world, so maybe link to a couple of articles that describe ongoing protests against inequality Down Under? Surely there must be message boards like this one, where like minded Aussies bemoan how poorly Aboriginal people are being treated, so it would be great if you could set us up with a link to one or more of those, too, please."
This too is on the Intertubezz AI on this side of the world.
There are ongoing and significant protests in Australia focused on inequality and the treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Here’s an overview based on recent articles, and resources for finding like-minded discussions:
Ongoing Protests Against Inequality in Australia
Mass Protests for Indigenous Rights: In January 2025, tens of thousands of Australians joined rallies in major cities such as Melbourne (over 30,000), Sydney (10,000), and Brisbane (5,000) for “Invasion Day”—a day that protests against the oppression and marginalization of Indigenous Australians. These events coincide with Australia Day (January 26), which is seen by protesters as a celebration of colonialism and ongoing injustice against Aboriginal people. Rallies included banners calling for an end to “genocide,” restitution, fair land rights, and an end to Black deaths in custody.
Legal and Systemic Barriers to Protest: Recent years have seen an increase in laws aimed at curtailing protests. States such as New South Wales and South Australia have introduced laws with heavy penalties for protest actions, often affecting those advocating for First Nations rights and environmental causes. Reports emphasize the vital role of protest in winning rights for Indigenous people, but highlight a concerning erosion of protest freedoms in Australia.
Day of Mourning and Historical Context: Protests for Indigenous justice have a long legacy. The 1938 “Day of Mourning” is a historical touchstone when Aboriginal leaders and communities gathered in Sydney to protest 150 years of oppression—demanding equality, citizenship, and better treatment. This spirit continues today in annual rallies and advocacy for real structural change.
