We hear a speech from Guwama woman Cheryl Buchanan, one of the early campaigners at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in 1972, at the 50th anniversary of the Embassy. This audio was broadcast live yesterday during 3CR's Invasion Day 2022 programming.
Frank Gafa is a Wailwan and Wiradjuri queer man, trade unionist, education and community activist and one of the organisers of the No Police at Pride Open Letter. He joins us to discuss the open letter and it's call for Victoria Police to cease participation in the Pride march.
Jay Coonan from the Antipoverty Centre joins us to discuss the Centre's recent statement on Australia's housing and homeless crisis as highlighted in the Productivity Commission's 2022 report on government services. Jay will also update us on the proposed sale of public land by Moreland council and the importance of prioritising public housing over private profit.
Earlier this week, Priya caught up with Dr Jackie Huggins to discuss the recently published updated edition of her classic collection 'Sister Girl: Reflections on Tiddaism, Identity and Reconciliation', which is out now with the University of Queensland Press. Dr Huggins is a member of the Bidjara and Birri Gubba Juru peoples, and is currently leading the work towards Treaty/Treaties in Queensland.
