It's morning on Kaurna land (Adelaide) and Sally Scales is dialling in with a wake-up call for us all. "We can do more. We can have deeper conversations; lean in harder." Scales is an artist and an activist, a proud Pitjantjatjara woman from Pipalyatjara in South Australia's remote Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands and a mother to six-year-old Walter, who mills around as she speaks. "I can't believe we still have youth detention centres. I can't believe we are still in that space. It's not just the Uluru Statement. It is but it isn't. We must start asking what we stand for as a nation."
Eloquent and assured, Scales plays the part of the morning ray that reveals the darkness we've attuned to. And through her role on the Uluru Statement from the Heart leadership team and previous post as chairperson of the APY Executive Board Council she shines her light on the need for a more inclusive Australia, stirring us from sleep.
Our conversation takes place the day the Prime Minister announced the first steps towards the referendum to acknowlege First Nations people in Australia's Constitution. This comes after Anthony Albanese promised to realise the Uluru Statement in full during his election night victory speech. Scales says, "We are at a tipping point in our country. But this is not a new ask. First Nations people have been asking to have a say in their communities for a long time."

HEART AND SOUL
Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
