🖋️ I wrote a letter to the King.

Because when Australia’s first Indigenous-led truth-telling inquiry finds that genocide was committed against Aboriginal people, the head of state should probably know about it.

This edition of Capital & Country is personal, political, and purposeful:

📮 Truth Posted: I reflect on the Yoorrook Commission’s findings and share the handwritten letter I sent to King Charles III, asking him to acknowledge genocide and use his voice to help Australia face its truth. Still waiting for a reply. Maybe it’s in a corgi-chewed pile somewhere in Buckingham.

📚 Pages That Change People: VOUGE Australia curates a powerful reading list of First Nations authors. These aren’t just books—they’re a syllabus for national reckoning. From Bruce Pascoe to Alexis Wright, these voices shape a better story for this country.

🎓 Future Trained: At Ayers Rock and Mossman Gorge, the National Indigenous Training Academy is empowering mob through vocational excellence. Kit Hawes, a graduate-turned-leader, proves what’s possible when education is grounded in culture.

This edition is about truth, power, and action. It’s about not looking away.
