    Slavery in Ansell’s Supply Chain, AI Adoption in NDIS Plan Reviews, Naarm Rally Against Herzog, Take Back the Track Day 2026

    Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines:Gaza and West Bank updatesPolice violence at protests against Herzog’s Australia visitAncient Gunaikurnai scar trees and river red gums along Sale Canal at risk of collapseAustralian Uyghur Tangritagh Women’s Association bring legal challenge against Kmart Lelianna, a lead marshal from Community Defence Marshalling System, joined us to discuss the fight for justice by Bangladeshi migrant workers subjected to appalling unlawful treatment by Malaysian company MediCeram, a glove mold supplier of Naarm-based multi-billion dollar latex corporation Ansell. MediCeram has gone bankrupt after years of alleged labour violations including passport confiscation, wage theft, debt bondage and unsafe working conditions, but Ansell, despite having profited from these practices, has chosen to abandon MediCeram workers. The 'Slavery in the Supply Chain' rally will be held at 5PM on Saturday the 14th of February at Ansell's head office, 678 Victoria Street, Richmond, mobilising Australian worker solidarity with migrant workers impacted by MediCeram's violations and Ansell's neglect.// Emma Bennison, CEO of Disability Advocacy Network Australia, spoke with us about the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA) adoption of artificial intelligence for the development and review of NDIS plans. There is widespread concern from Disability Representative Organisations about the use of computer automated systems to determine how people living with disabilities access support. In this interview, Emma unpacks how AI is being used by the NDIA, who these systems impact most, and how they might change NDIS plan review processes.// Naarm-based organiser Renee came on the show to talk about today's rally against israeli president Isaac Herzog’s visit at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre. Herzog’s Naarm visit follows his presence in Sydney on Monday, where a protest by tens of thousands of people was met with what legal observers and groups describe as unchecked police brutality. Alongside direct police violence against protestors and Muslims praying at the rally, police were seen to have brought a long-range acoustic device or ‘sound cannon’, a militarised crowd control device emitting directional sound blasts of over 160 decibels, which can cause permanent hearing damage. NSW Premier Chris Minns has defended Herzog’s visit as well as actions taken by police. Join the rally today in Naarm, Thursday 12 February, from 5PM at Flinders Street Station. Victoria Police have been granted special powers today under the Terrorism (Community Protection) Act 2003 - find out more about what to expect and how to stay safe here, and follow Melbourne Activist Legal Support and Fitzroy Legal Service on Instagram for updates and legal support information.//Gunditjmara Keerray Woorroong and Djap Wurrung runner Sissy Austin, founder of the Take Back the Track movement, spoke with us about the ongoing fight to ensure the safety and bodily autonomy of women and gender diverse people running in public space in the lead up to Take Back the Track Day on Sunday the 15th of February. This Sunday marks the second year of Take Back the Track, which has grown from a community-led action into a nationwide movement advocating for the right of women and gender diverse people to run without the fear of violence, with events planned in over 70 locations around the country.

Samantha is currently undertaking PhD research into the ways that digital technologies in so-called Australia’s private rental sector impacts renters and housing justice. You can read the report ‘Implications of tenant data collection in housing: protecting Australian renters’, which Samantha contributed to, here, and this week’s Guardian exclusive on rent tech privacy breaches here.// Planned Demolition of Older Persons’ Public Housing Towers//Fiona York, Executive Officer of Housing for the Aged Action Group, spoke with us about the Allan Labor Government's announcement last week of plans to demolish 7 older persons' public housing towers in the next stage of its high-rise redevelopment program. This move will erase over half of Melbourne's dedicated high-rise public housing for people over the age of 55 years, sparking concern and condemnation by grassroots groups and the community sector about the impact that relocation and estate redevelopment will have on elderly public tenants. While the 13 older persons' towers are included in the overall high-rise redevelopment program, tenants and advocates were led to believe that these buildings would not be up for demolition until significantly later in the program. Read Housing for the Aged Action Group's statement on last week's announcement here, and catch Fiona and the HAAG crew on 3CR's Raise the Roof program every Wednesday from 5:30-6PM.//

    Gary Foley at Naarm Invasion Day, Julie Saylor Briggs at Djilang Invasion Day, Social Impacts of Tobacco Licensing Laws, Police Use of Generative AI, Israel Recognises Somaliland

    Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines:Attempted bombing at Boorloo Day of Mourning rally Gaza and West Bank updatesUN Human Rights Council review urges extensive action by Albanese government Telstra service issues affecting regular and emergency calls by older iPhones We played a speech by veteran Gumbaynggirr activist and historian Professor Gary Foley at this Monday's Invasion Day rally in Naarm. Speaking on the steps of Parliament House on Spring Street, Professor Foley reminded the crowd about the artificial history of so-called Australia's national day, and connected present-day Invasion Day rallies to a legacy that began with the 1938 Day of Mourning. Check out Professor Foley’s website and incredible archive (access to physical materials by appointment) at Victoria University to learn more about the history of the Aboriginal land rights movement.// We listened to a speech and segments of commentary by Torres Strait Islander woman Julie Saylor Briggs delivered at the Djilang Invasion Day rally on Monday. During the rally, Julie read out the text of the original motion moved by Aboriginal community members at the 1938 Day of Mourning gathering, and spoke about the history of colonial violence on Wadawarrung Country, the colonial child removal industry, and the relationships between genocide, dispossession and ecocide. Our thanks to Amy from 3CR’s Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence for sharing this recording.// Leila interviewed Dr James Martin, Tobacco Harm Reduction Advisor for Harm Reduction Australia and Director of the Bachelor of Criminology at Deakin University, about the social impacts of Australia’s law enforcement approach to substance use with a focus on Victoria’s tobacco licensing laws. From February first, the Victorian Labor government will be enforcing new tobacco licensing laws, which restrict the sale of tobacco products to licensed retailers only. Individuals or businesses who sell tobacco without a licence may face fines of over $100,000, and fines for the sale of illicit tobacco products are even higher. You can listen back to Dr Martin’s interview with Inez on the 20th of March 2025 about vaping regulations here.// Lucinda Thorpe, Privacy Campaigner at Digital Rights Watch joined us to discuss the use of AI by police in Australia for report writing, suspect identification, and to guide investigations. Victoria Police use generative AI in 20% of crime reports. When a contact centre employee files an online crime report, they use generative AI on the form to generate a summary for police officers. However, these systems are trained on biased data and can reproduce racism, sexism, and other inequalities. If you have been affected by police use of generative AI, contact Digital Rights Watch at info@digitalrightswatch.org.au// We replay a conversation between Xan and Koshin of Uprise Radio from early this month about Israel's controversial recognition of Somaliland’s independence last year. The recognition of Somaliland by Israel, a state whose own recognition is contested, occurred late last year, and is a significant geopolitical development in the Horn of Africa and Red Sea region. Tune in to Uprise Radio every Wednesday at 5:30PM on 3CR.// Invasion Day Donation Initiatives:Dhadjowa FoundationGrandmothers Against Removals Victoria

    Policing of Invasion Day, Racialised Impact of Designated Areas, Labor’s Hate Speech Laws, Paul Silva on Protest Policing and Aboriginal Deaths in Custody

    Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines//Labor’s hate speech lawsReport released on Designated Area declarationsSenator Thorpe moves amendment to federal government’s new gun control lawsHealthcare Workers Union members demand fair pay deal// Tarneen Onus Browne, Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Bindal and Meriam person and community organiser, joined us to discuss the ongoing federal court challenge against Victoria Police's designated areas powers in the context of First Nations resistance movements. The case, brought by Human Rights Law Centre on behalf of Tarneen, Benny Zable and with new applicant David Hack, questions the validity of Victoria Police's extraordinary powers within designated areas, including stop and search powers and the ability to direct people to leave areas if they refuse to remove a face covering. While the 6-month declaration of Naarm's CBD as a designated area was ended early, organisers are concerned about the impact that ever-expanding police powers will have on fundamental protest rights, particularly those of First Nations people in the lead up to Invasion Day 2026. Register via Humanitix for the 2026 Naarm Invasion Day rally to receive updates with health and legal advice, and head to Dhadjowa Foundation if you can volunteer your time on Monday to assist organisers to collect donations to Pay the Rent.// Ilo Diaz from the Centre Against Racial Profiling joined us to continue the conversation about designated area declarations in Victoria. Following on from our chat on 18 December 2025, where Ilo spoke about some of the work he has been doing to document designated areas, today's interview focuses on the report 'A Tale of Two Cities: The Hidden Geography of Police Powers in Victoria', released this week by the Centre, which identifies the racialised impact of designated area policing via an analysis of declarations between 2019-2024. You can read 'A Tale of Two Cities' here.// Earlier this week, Alice caught up with writer, independent journalist and anti-fascist activist Tom Tanuki to discuss the Albanese Labor government's 'Combatting Antisemitism' laws, much of which have passed both Houses of Parliament early this week. Civil society organisations and legal advocates have raised alarm about the speed at which these laws have been rushed through Parliament, with consultation on the exposure draft of the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 announced on the 13th of January this year in the wake of the Bondi attack. You can watch Tom's video unpacking the hate speech laws here.// We played a speech by Dunghutti activist Paul Silva, nephew of David Dungay Jr., at a rally held last Sunday the 18th of January to commemorate 10 years since David Dungay Jr. passed away in the custody of New South Wales Corrective Services. This rally was met with a significant police presence, with attendees prevented from taking to the streets by NSW Police due to new powers to restrict public protests granted after the Bondi attack in December 2025. The upcoming Invasion Day rally in Sydney is anticipated to proceed without heightened policing due to a last-minute carve-out of the rally route from New South Wales' increasingly draconian protest laws. Paul Silva’s speech was recorded by Iyngaranathan Selvaratnam.// Songs//We Have Survived - Bart Willoughby ft. Deline Briscoe and Friends
