Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel, presided over by the Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a nonstop battle to make her way home.

It’s National Volunteer Week, where we take the time to celebrate people who create space in their lives to do good and work for the betterment of more than themselves, focusing on how they can serve their communities.

We’ve highlighted people who have volunteered for organisations, and now we are going to shift gears to something different, the Rainbow Community Angels. Starting a year ago this grass roots organisation has brought the community together to create a rainbow barrier to allow LGBTQIA+ events to occur for young people across Victoria and beyond, and we are joined by Louise to find out all about her experience as a Rainbow community angel.
