T.J. Hickey Rally - 21 Years On
Yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of the death of T.J. Hickey, who was killed when he was impaled on a fence in Waterloo, after being pursued by Redfern police in 2004. The police say it was accident but the family of T.J. say it was murder.
Every year on this day, February the 14th, Valentine’s Day, families and supporters, led by T.J.’s mother, Gail Hickey, gather at the fence where T.J. was killed to commemorate his death. Each year, they march from Waterloo, past Redfern police station, to The Block.
This year followed that same path, under grey skies and rain.

Waitangi Day - Toitū te Tiriti
Photographs from Saturday’s commemoration of Waitangi Day in Emerson in Western Sydney, Darug Land.
The community event pressed for Toitū Te Tiriti - or the honouring of the Waitangi Treaty, the foundational document which has determined relations between Māori and Pākehā (Europeans) since the British colonisation of Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Treaty is currently under threat by the current right-wing New Zealand government which intends to pass The Treaty Principles Bill. Many Māori see this piece of legislation as not only an attempt to undermine long-established Māori rights but as racist. Toitū Te Tiriti has spread as a protest movement across Aotearoa, ‘Australia’ and internationally.
Saturday’s event in Emerton consisted of a smoking by local Darug representatives, Uncle Lex Dadd and Auntie Corina Norman, followed by speeches, a hīkoi (march) through the local neighbourhood, cultural activities and lunch.

Rally Against Femicide
Today, a small but passionate group demonstrated against femicide in Australia. The rally took place outside Sydney Town Hall, Gadigal Land.
More women were murdered last year in Australia since records began, with 78 women killed in gender-based violence im 2024. This number is only two fewer than the amount of women murdered in the United Kingdom in the same period, a country with a population almost three times as great as Australia.
Australian Femicide Watch claim these figures are under-quoted, and the true number of women killed in gender-based violence in Australia is actually 101.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are disproportionately represented in these numbers.
