First up on the program, Marisa interviews Nerita Waight, a proud Yorta Yorta woman and CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS), about a Victorian Parliamentary inquiry which has called for an overhaul of Victoria's bail laws, following a review of the state's criminal legal system. They also discuss overrepresentation of Aboriginal women in prison.
Marisa then interviews David Glanz from the Refugee Action Collective about their recent media release, NZ refugee deal a win but leaves so many still in misery.
The final interview on this episode of Doin' Time is with senior lawyers Monique Hurley and Amala Ramarathinam from the Human Rights Law Centre, who continue the earlier discussion about the state's bail laws. The findings of the Inquiry into Victoria's Criminal Justice System are discussed, with a focus on the fact that things have not gone far enough to address human rights, particularly in marginalised communities.
