“But the Greens won’t win so even though I want them to so I’ll just vote for Labor instead” is a major contributor to the Greens not doing better and also a fundamental misunderstanding of how preferential voting works. VOTE #1 FOR THE PARTY YOU WANT TO WIN NOT WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN AND THEN USE PREFERENCES!

Australia has preferential voting for the lower house, if you don’t understand how that works, you can find a handy guide here.

i just dont think non-Aboriginal ppl understand how absolutely revolutionary Cleverman is – or, at least, they don’t know in the same way. 

i am 22 years old. this is the first time in my life i have seen myself, my people, our stories, reflected on television – but not only that. this show is the first sci-fi show that i, a science fiction writer, and Indigenous person, have ever felt apart of. it’s the first time i havent felt deliberately alienated and pushed out. it’s the first time i’ve seen black creativity, black thoughts, black names and black stories in sci-fi.

and i hope it proves that this is what viewers want. i hope because of the show’s success, producers realise what we have to offer. i hope in the future, other black sci-fi and fantasy shows will be possible.

You summed up exactly how I feel about Cleverman. The feeling I got watching the first 10mins of episode 1 was just, I don’t have words to adequately describe how I felt.

We needed this, and I am hoping with everything I have that other black sci-fi and fantasy shows will come out - and not just shows, but films, games, everything.

i just feel like one day i’ll be sitting with my kids and i’ll get to say ‘this. this is the show that started everything.’

 Our fathers were evil men, all of us here. They left the world worse than they found it. We’re not going to do that. We’re going to leave the world better than we found it. You will support my claim as queen of the Seven Kingdoms and respect the integrity of the Seven Kingdoms. No more reaving, roving, raiding, or raping.  That’s our way of life.  No more.  No more.

I am so proud of John Boyega becoming the face of sci-fi. I am so happy seeing a nerdy black boy take over a genre he loves and I am so happy that he is so unapologetically black while doing so. I am so excited to know that millions of black children will grow up with John’s face in some of the most well known sci-fi movies, that they will see someone that looks like them in a lead role. I am so happy.

Legendary Pictures has set Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega for the lead role for the second installment of its Pacific Rim franchise. Steven S. DeKnight is directing the film, which will begin production in the fourth quarter of this year, based on the world created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham.
Boyega will play the son of the character played by Idris Elba in the del Toro-directed original film. Universal will release the film worldwide, everywhere but China. The 2013 original grossed $411 million. Thomas Tull, Mary Parent, Jon Jashni, and del Toro will produce the action adventure film along with Boyega and Femi Oguns under their Upper Room Productions shingle. Cale Boyter is executive producer. 
The picture is a beach head project for Legendary, under the leadership of Parent, who became Tull’s vice chairman of Worldwide Production after Jashni exited to start his own venture. The principals have confirmed to Deadline they found their man in Boyega. “It is undeniable that with all his talent and natural charm, John stands out amongst today’s generation of young leading men,” said Parent.
Said del Toro: “I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox. The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. ‘The World saving the world’ was our goal and I couldn’t think of a better man for the job.”
