— Appears in: Koori Mail , 11 September no. 834 2024; (p. 4) 'We are so close to the first anniversary of the failed referendum this October 14th 2024 and I've heard many people asking 'Where are our leaders?' and thinking they have been silent.

1 Standing Strong with Stan Grant Shelley Ware , 2023 single work column
— Appears in: Koori Mail , 31 May no. 802 2023; (p. 4) 'Where do you even start talking about Stan Grant!?! With the outpouring of love and support shown for this proud Wiradjuri man and journalist? Do I start at the fact that Rupert Murdoch's top executive in Australia has defended News Corps reporting of the ABC's coronation broadcast and denied it played a role in Stan Grant's decision to stand down from hosting 0 and A, after he became a target of relentless racial abuse? No one reading this is surprised by that, are you? Or do I start with the impact his stand against racism has had on our community and the wider community? Or do I start with how Stan Grant is feeling and how hurt he is? ' (Introduction)
