You may have also noticed a price rise in the cafe in the last week. Due to the aforementioned 🌶️ geopolitical circumstances our wholesalers have raised their prices understandably. We have tried our best to absorb the costs, however, we run on a lean budget as a social enterprise and are unable to cover it all.

Today marks a special anniversary - 18 years since the National Apology.

On this day in 2008, former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd apologised on behalf of the nation for past laws, policies and practices that have impacted upon Australia’s First Nations Peoples, particularly members of the Stolen Generations.

We stand in solidarity with our First Nations community.
