Showing Signs of Respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture

For far too long Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture has sat in the background covered up by colonisation. Only now, thanks to the recent publication of Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe and other research projects, do we know about their history pre-colonisation. Whether that be their solid and thriving communities, their sewed fields and fished waterways, their politics and customs. A deeper narrative compared to the “hunter-gatherer” label we’ve put onto Indigenous Australians for far too long.

Drag Industry Variety Awards 2019
Drag Industry Variety Awards 2019

“ A very enthusiastic full house celebrated the last twelve months of the Sydney drag scene at the 2019 DIVA Awards this week.

The grand ballroom of the Paddington RSL looked splendid for what many are calling a fabulous return to form for this event, now in its twenty-ninth year.

A highlight was a performance by the five finalists from the Slay 2 Stay talent quest at Universal, featuring the winner Miss Danni Issues – this queen has a big future.

Charisma Belle was the perfect hostess with the right measure of sending and steering. There is nothing quite like seeing a queen at the top of her game – she really was wonderful.

The popular Fran Giapanni is the DIVA Rising Star for 2019.

Sia Tequila is our new Entertainer of the Year, an award voted by her peers, and there was a lot of love in the room for her as she took the stage to a full standing ovation. “
