Decipher this and you deserve the cash

Do you have stock of social justice cliches at the ready? Can you spell ‘post-colonisation generational trauma’? Will you place hand on heart and proclaim ‘First Nations trans women are real women’? Are you capable of deciphering bureaucratese and don’t care too much about misplaced apostrophes and banged-out-in-a-rush typos?

If so, the Australian Human Rights Commission has $230,000 in taxpayer funds it’s keen to hand over for measuring “indigenous gendered impact” (whatever that means)  as part of it’s $550,000 preliminary work to establish its National Anti-Racism Framework (whatever that is) on which Walter Waverley reported here at Quadrant Online.
