In today's episode, Professor Marianne Hanson, co-chair of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, joins us to discuss the increasing US-Australian military ties and the militarisation of Australian society and the education sector. This is a two-part interview; the second part will be broadcast in August.

Later, we headed down to the University of Melbourne Gaza Solidarity encampment, which was led by students from the UniMelb for Palestine group. Gender studies student Liz joined us to discuss the military-research ties at the University of Melbourne. The group was the second group in Australia to join the international student intifada, calling on their universities to disclose, divest from weapons manufacturing, and boycott Israeli institutions.
