This show always nails it . You guys rock and i cant wait til you take the joint back. Its not ABOUT indigenous affairs like its a thing, its ABOUT life , culture and negotiating the contemporary landscape, from a perspective that is informed by indigeneity. These are the real australian voices and should be the leading voices of our times. more honest about the past , more clearsighted abt the future. Last show one guest corrected Turncoat re the radical option, itd be sending the colonists home. I totally agree. It took indonesia 300 years to get rid of the dutch. Its not too late for Australia. Perhaps the discourse needs to embrace that kind of edge it might help people appreciate the middle better. <3 Listen to them, peeps!
WOKE and Wobbly

Definitely in the woke, weak and wobbly category. Preared by the teenagers at the ABC who want to over-representi minorities such as our Indigenous cousins. Part of the ABC’s Victim Radio mentality.
