Matters of the Aborigine

I heard that the television show Redfern Now was pretty well a fully aboriginal effort, from the actors to writers, producers to all  those who you don't see on camera. I especially enjoyed the first one, the third was ok and I have yet to see the second.

I found this at Hoopla. They are a few tweets from Australian Aborigines under the hashtag 'I tried to be authentic but'. They made me laugh. I expect you have to be Australian to get them all.
