The lovely, bubbly, Kayla Cartledge joined us on the show this week to rally support for the YES vote and to tell us all the amazing community organising she has been up to on the Mornington Peninsula. Kayla is a Gurindji woman who grew up on Larrakia (Darwin) country, people known for their land rights activism. Kayla carries her mother's strong spirit on the Mornington Peninsula where she has lived since she was 8 years old. She is the founder of the Mornington Peninsula Survival Day events, @oursurvivalday, which have been running at The Briars since 2019 and has been busy this year with the Mornington Peninsula for YES Group. Kayla has worked with the Mornington Peninsula Council, Kinaway Chamber of Commerce and is now with Monash University. She is set to head to Aotearoa soon for an e-safety conference and is collecting experiences of vilification and hate speech in the YES referendum campaign at her site @oursonglines. Thank-you for sharing your positive spirit with us this week, Kayla, and keep up your great community organising on the Mornington.

This week's show is also dedicated to our friend, Ric 'Pope Fred', who has sadly left this plane behind and will be sorely missed. A much loved comrade in the anarchist circles in Melbourne. Friends from the IRL Infoshop will hold a gathering next month to celebrate him. We are so glad to have sat with Ric for Radical Australia in 2021 and you can listen back to our conversation here. Rest in Power, Ric x
