Pay the Rent
June 04, 2025
When you live on someone elses' land, usually you pay rent to them as your landlord. Rent hasn't been paid since 1788, and it falls to those who benefit most from colonisation to pick up the tab and right some of the wrongs.
None of us can change the past, and it isn't our fault that it happened, but we can make a choice to make sure that it doesn't continue. Mutual aid is the best way to make sure that a community is empowered to create the change that they want to see, on their own terms.
We're all cohabitants of the metaphorical squat that is Australia. Chip in where you can.
