We’re so excited to launch this broadcast series produced and presented by formerly incarcerated women. In a society that heavily discriminates against people who have been criminalised, treating them as disposable and unworthy, we wanted to provide opportunities for formerly incarcerated people to be heard and listened to with respect curiosity, empathy and understanding. Catch the first episode of ‘Untold Stories of Injustice’ at 9am this Friday or catch up later online. Thanks to Humanists Victoria for their financial support of this project.

Land Forces 2024, the largest land-based weapons expo in the southern hemisphere, is set to take place at the Melbourne Convention Centre from 11-13 September.

With our long-standing commitment to amplifying resistance, we will be on the ground to provide exclusive coverage you won’t find anywhere else. Hear direct from the action every morning at 8am from Monday 9 to Saturday 14 September, listen to other coverage on your favourite radical program and catch up online.
