On today’s episode of Queering the Air, Frankie and Iris are joined by Bobuq and Roj to discuss the justice for Ms Dhu campaign. Bobuq and Roj are organising a fundraiser for the campaign for justice for Yamaji woman Ms Dhu, who died in custody after being detained for unpaid fines. There are reflections on community activism, positionality and whiteness. We also have some critical thoughts on Midsumma.
