    Ep 12 - Hating on the International Criminal Court

    US National Security Advisor John Bolton gave a blistering speech against the International Criminal Court recently, so we just had to read the juiciest bits out and pick them apart for you, dear listener. And of course after that, we have our human rights heroes and villains of the week. *Image Credit Gage Skidmore

    Ep. 11 - How our schools are failing kids with disability

    We spoke to almost 100 teachers, school principals, support staff, parents of kids with disability and young adults about educating kids with disability in Victoria's mainstream schools. We also pored over every law, policy and practice that affected education for kids with disability, then we wrote a report with over 30 recommendations for how the Victorian government can do things (vastly) better. If a 100-page report seems a bit daunting, join us for a 30 minute primer on what we found. Here's the link to the final report: https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/file/0016/1412170/Castan-Centre-Improving-Educational-Outcomes-for-Students-with-Disability.pdf Here's the Age's front page article on our report: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/it-was-heartbreaking-the-discrimination-in-our-schools-20180628-p4zobh.html Here's our op ed in the Age on the single biggest challenge for the Victorian government: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/why-school-autonomy-is-hurting-children-with-disability-20180709-p4zqdy.html

    Ep 9 Refugee, Marriage Equality

    In this episode, Marius, Maria O'Sullivan and Tania Penovic recount the history of offshore processing and explain how we got to the point where refugees are starving on Manus Island. In an act of cognitive dissonance all to common with human rights lawyers, they also perform an act of cognitive dissonance by combining this extremely depressing topic with a celebration of Australia's vote to legalise marriage equality.

    Ep 6 - Inspiration, Fear and Violence - The 2017 Conference Edition

    Marius, Melissa and Sarah reflect on the highlights of this year's Human Rights Conference, and the themes of the day, including fear, violence and intersectionality (!). They also chat about two big issues at the moment - marriage equality and free speech - before ending with the hero and villain of the week and "Did You See That?". --- This episode’s Community Partner is the Council to Homeless Persons, whose representative Kate Colvin spoke at our recent conference. The Council is the peak body of the Victorian homelessness sector, and its mission is to end homelessness through policy and campaigning. Right now, it is working with Christine Thirkell, a woman who has had multiple experiences of homelessness, to launch a petition calling for 100,000 new affordable homes. We strongly encourage you to sign it at endthehousingcrisis.org.au/100khomes. And we’ll put that link on our podcast website.
