Ajak Kwai invites on Uncle Robbie Thorpe from the Krautungalung people of Gunnai Nation, host of Bunjil's Fire and uncle of Senator Lidia Thorpe, who recently confronted Charles Philip Arthur George during a ceremony in Canberra. Robbie Thorpe speaks about his niece's action and talks further about the injustice dealt to the Aboriginal people of Australia, and how sovereignty was never ceded. 

After this conversation, Ajak Kwai plays some protest songs from Bob Marley and Ben Harper, and then a tune from Melbourne legend Nick Cave and his band The Bad Seeds, before ending with a recording of a live performance from Jazz and Saxophone master Gerald Albright.
