Gather around for a story of the ages

Come one, come all, I want to share with you a story. A story of the ages and a story of great success and community unity.

I'm not sure if many know the story of Australia and the past injustices that have caused much hurt and pain for many.

Specifically for the Indigenous population of Australia. For those that don't know my wife and I are descendents of Indigenous Australians. For much of our life it has been an uphill battle.

![20201122_142645.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/melbourneswest/IwAB7eBz-20201122_142645.jpg)

But tonight is not about me, nor is it about pain or suffering or anything to do with the past. But in fact a story of tomorrow. A place of healing, acceptance and change.

Australia has been settled/colonised/invaded/occupied (not sure what to write or how to explain it) for 220 years. In that time only a limited amount of Indigenous Australians have held local government positions in Victoria.

That has all changed with the successful election of my wife in Victorian local government. What has been even more heart warming is an overwhelming majority of our community supported her in her bid to take office. A moment in time that I will never forget.

On record, at current we can only find two other Indigenous women whom have been successful in 1988 and none have been elected since. Until 2020.

You can not be what you can not see, so be so others can see.

If you get a chance Google Ashleigh Vandenberg Melton City Council. So proud right now.
