Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by the Principal Partner of the law firm Pogust Goodhead, Tom Goodhead. 


Tom joins us from the UK to discuss the ongoing class action against BHP following the Mariana Dam disaster at Rio Doce, Brazil, in 2015, where 19 people lost their lives. It’s a campaign spread across three continents as BHP does their best to avoid being held to account.

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by one of the most experienced journalists in the country - former state political reporter and former deputy director for communications for the Andrews’ Labor government, Brendan Donohoe.


On our annual St Patrick’s Day episode, son of Erin’s Isle, Donohoe brings a unique perspective to the topic of media and politics having worked both in the media for over 30+ years, and in the Premiers Private Office. 


As both a print and tv journalist covering the last 11 Victorian state premiers, Brendan talks about the evolution of political media coverage and the stories to go with it. He shares his reflections on the current state of media, expectations from news rooms and how the media grappled with covering issues such as covid and the success of the Andrews government.
