    Tribute show and dedication to Uncle Ray Jackson

    Content warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains sensitive material, audio descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, graphic discussion of deaths in custody, and also the name of a First Nations warrior who has passed. This special Doin' Time program is a dedication and tribute to the much loved and honourable Uncle Ray Jackson, born 27 March, 1941 and died on April 23 2015. He was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for Aboriginal people, and much more. A former trade unionist, Ray became the founding secretary of the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Watch Committee in 1987. and later the president, of the Indigenous Social Justice Association (ISJA) Sydney, which he founded. Right until the day he died, Ray Jackson was fighting to stop Aboriginal deaths in custody. This lifelong work was recognised by Macquarie University in the lead up to the 25th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody report. Our first tribute to Ray is Joseph Pugliese, longtime activist and much-loved guest on the Doin' Time show, and close friend of Uncle Ray Jackson. We will hear from his loved ones throughout the show. After that we'll have a yarn with Madika Penrith, granddaughter of Ray, who spoke about the work of her grandfather, and how this connects with her own life and beautiful work creating First Nations archives, to give them back to her people. She's also planning an Exihibition of her Pop's work.

    Remembering Tj Hickey | The Stolen Generation Continues

    Content         Warning This episode of Dointime contains audio images of Aboriginal and Tores Strait  Islander people who  have died, and graphic discussion of deaths in custody, and the Stolen Generation. This week’s show is a Special Commemoration  broadcast honouring Aboriginal teenager Tj Hickey. Tj, a 17-year-arold teenager, was killed in February 2004 after  racist police chased him through the streets of Redfern when he was riding his bicycle. The result? He was impaled on a fence and he died at the hands of police. First up we heard from Aunty Dianne, a strong First Nations woman and relative of Tj. She spoke about Tj Hickey and police investigating police. Lots of grief was expressed about his death and the ongoing campaign for justice led by Tj’s mother Gail. Then we heard from Cheryl Kaulfuss, from the Indigenous Social Justice Association Melbourne,   (Isja) who spoke about the by2026  rally for Tj, and sent a solidarity message from Isja. FINALLY WE spoke with Bj Newton, a proud Wiradjuri woman and Associate Professor at Nsw Sydney. She leads the Bring them Home Keep them Home Research. In partnership with Abroriginal organiseations, her research drives sector-wide impact through truth-telling, generating new evidence, community-led initiatives, and advocacy. Bj spoke in detail about how the systematic removal of Aboriginal children is worse than ever, 18 years on from the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.  The interview focused on her research and campaigns showing us that the Stolen generation    continues to the present day. It was also discussed that the National Apology speeches included harmful stereotypes and minimization of past injustices, reflecting broader systemic racism that persists in contemporary policies.
