We play a segment from Power from the Margins titled, 'Ableism in the Settler Colony'. We hear from Latoya Rule, Indigenous prison abolitionist, on the criminalisation of people living at the intersection of both race and disability. Dominic Golding also discusses Australia's immigration system and the control of borders which has historically been both racist and ableist. 


Philip Marrii from SEED Mob joins us to speak about the Don't Frack the NT Campaign encouraging Origin customers to pledge to leave Origin and change energy providers. This campaign has already seen over 4000 people take the pledge! 


Carly interviews Roxanne Moore, the Executive Officer of NATSILS about the defunding of the national secretariat of the Family Violence Protection Legal Services. 


Clara Sione, local jazz and soul musician, speaks about the upcoming fundraiser, 'Songs for Samoa' happening at 7:30pm on 20 December 2019 at the Footscray Community Art Centre to raise money for the Samoan community affected by the measles epidemic.
