    Prescribed Burns Impacts on Wet Forests | Demythologizing ANZAC Day | Frontier War Stories | Dykes on Mics |

    Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show!  Todays show:Segments:- A conversation with fire behaviour scientist Phil Zylstra. Two weeks ago Zylstra was a signatory among other scientists and researchers with GECO, Goongerah Environment Centre, calling to stop Planned burns in the Snowy River National Park. We chat about the impacts of Vic Forest Fire Management's prescribed burns on wet forests and the consequences they will have in the future. - Over the weekend many people across this continent gathered to commemorate the ANZACs' involvement in World War One. Research published by the War Studies Group at the University of NSW Canberra last year shows that while 90% of people believe in the importance of ANZAC Day, yet just over half of people on this continent actually engage in ANZAC Day Services. We are now going to play an excerpt from the People's History of Australia podcast in which host Christian speaks with Robert Bollard, author of 'In The Shadow Of Gallipoli' about how the ANZAC myth is perpetuated, and the state's attempts to paint the antiwar movement as unpatriotic as a means of justifying repression. You can listen to the rest of the episode and more from the Peoples History of Australia at peopleshistory.com.auhttp://www.peopleshistory.com.au/episode-5-the-hidden-history-of-australia-in-world-war-i/ - We were joined by Boe Spearim, host of the incredibly important podcast 'Frontier War Stories'.

    | Razor Gang Cuts to NDIS | Intersex Advocacy | Mt Macedon Snow Gums Clearing | DID Awareness Day |

    Headlines:“Silencing Dissent”: Protest Crackdowns Spark Civil Liberties AlarmHealth Students Forced to Work for Free as Cost-of-Living Crisis Continues to BitGrassroots Organising Surges as Renewable Energy Network Launches Segments:- Last week it was revealed that the federal government had formed a taskforce known as the 'razor gang', tasked with cutting the NDIS to make it more 'sustainable' ahead of the May budget. The revelation attracted scrutiny from independent MPs in the halls of parliament, but as usual much of the reporting - and potentially even the budget consultations themselves - failed to elevate disabled voices. As such, the Monday breakfast show was joined by Zoe Simmons, a journalist and disability advocate to talk about the razor gang and accessing the NDIS.   -  An excerpt of a conversation between Out Of The Pan's Sally Goldner and Bonnie Hart, a longtime intersex advocate and peer support worker. The pair talk about the legislation passed in Victoria banning medical intervention on children born with variations in sex characteristics. We did have a conversation with Dr Sean Mulcahy from Equality Australia about this legislation, however the legislation is so hugely important for people born with sex characteristics that we feel it is worth playing a separate interview on this. You can listen to more from Sally on Sundays from 12 -1PM, or at 3cr.org.au/outofthepan.  - A story reported by Tessa Campisi from Friends of the Earth. Community members were able to successfully stop work for three days last week, and over 1300 people contacted decision makers to condemn the clearing of the Mt Macedon Snow Gums.Nonetheless, in a tragic escalation of events, an exclusion zone was enforced around the cross, and on Saturday morning the trees were felled.  Devastated community members held a vigil for the snow gums on Sunday, and continue to condemn the actions of Parks Victoria and the Memorial Cross Committee. - Kaye shares with Amy Ciara their journey within a variety of different circumstances with; homelessness; gender identity with DID; finding community and more. Part 1 of the interview with Kaye you can find the whole interview from the DID awareness day special  at 3cr.org.au/didad2026 Music: Brand New - Daisy Picker  Immaterial - SOPHIE
