Albury Greens

AlburyCity is proud to host the local National Reconciliation Week Flag Raising Ceremony at QEII Square on Wednesday 27 May at 10am.

National Reconciliation Week is a time to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation.

The 2026 theme, ‘All In’, invites every Australian to take part in reconciliation every day. It calls on all of us to step forward, stay engaged and help create meaningful change together. Advancing the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is a shared responsibility.

Join us at 10am for the Flag Raising Ceremony. Aunty Edna Stewart will deliver the Welcome to Country and Darren Wighton will lead a Smoking Ceremony.

After the ceremony, head to the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) to connect over a cuppa.

In the wake of the devastating by-election result in Farrer, many people in our community are feeling anxious, disheartened and uncertain about what comes next.

At a time when xenophobia, division and fear are being amplified in our politics, it’s important that we come together, stay connected, and remember that compassion and solidarity still exist in abundance in our community.

The walk itself feels especially meaningful right now. In Wiradjuri culture, Yindyamarra is a profound philosophy centred on respect, gentleness, kindness, honouring others, moving thoughtfully through the world, and taking responsibility for how we treat people and Country.

This won’t be a rally or a formal political event. It’s simply an opportunity to regroup, connect, and share ideas for how we can build a progressive future for Albury together.

We'll provide some snacks to share, but feel free to pack your own lunch, or bring a plate to share. If you have a picnic blanket or camp chairs, please bring them, but we’ll have some extra if you don’t.

The location is wheelchair accessible and there are public toilets available nearby.

All are welcome.

The Greens are proudly pro-choice. Every MP, every vote, every time. Abortion is a personal decision between the person who’s pregnant and their health professional - not up to politicians or the church.

Our hard fought reproductive rights are under attack. I’m proud to have been part of the campaign to decriminalise abortion in NSW in 2019 alongside incredible women and our pro-choice allies.
