Indigenous protest planned on national day of mourning – as it happened

A protest for Indigenous people will be held on the National Day of Mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, AAP is reporting.

Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance, which has more than 60,000 Facebook followers, will take to Brisbane streets on 22 September to decry past atrocities and the impact of British colonisation in Australia.

“This is a stance against the continued crimes committed against marginalised First Nations, black, brown and Asian communities. We do not support benefactors or Stolenwealth (sic) and demand justice, truth and accountability for all. Justice for all,” the group wrote.

The local stock exchange has dropped sharply, tumbling along with markets around the world after a worse-than-expected US inflation report raised the prospect of even more aggressive rate hikes in the world’s largest economy.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 dropped 184 points in the first 10 minutes of trading on Wednesday and more or less treaded water since. It eventually closed down 181.1 points, or 2.58%, to a one-week low of 2828.6.The broader All Ordinaries finished down 181.9 points, or 2.51%, to 7071.8.

“So it’s not a good day – and it signifies that we could be retesting the June lows as [the US Federal Reserve] gets aggressive.”
