    Ep. 4: The "abnormal" modern Australian society

    In this episode, we explore the relationship between interculturalism and the "abnormal" modern Australian society to which it has given birth. We explore Australia's history, it's present, and explore a possible and a desired future for our land and cities in a modern intercultural [South Australian] context. The story of Australia has always fascinated me. People from all over the world have travelled to this land, and have learned to call it home. So many different cultures have been welcomed here; yet, the people of the land (the Aboriginal Australians) have not been given a say in this—in who can come, and who cannot come, or how the land is shared and looked after. Joining me in this conversation is Haydyn Bromley, an Aboriginal Australian who specialises in cross-cultural awareness and competency, and delivers Aboriginal Cultural Sensitivity and Respect Training at Bookabee Australia (you can learn more about, and hire his services at https://bookabee.com.au/welcome/). Also joining me is Gurney Khera, a Sikh Australian who specialises in urban planning and smart-cities, and currently pursuing research in improving intercultural urban planning policy and results in Australia. Gurney has a culturally diverse background; he speaks 3 languages, has travelled widely to Europe, the Americas and Asia, and has lived in Canada, Malaysia, Sydney and Adelaide. The abnormality of the modern Australian society is something which fascinates him.
