On this week's show there was an extended interview with Sophie Jest, Senior Community Outreach Lawyer from Fitzroy Legal Service. Sophie talked about the Prison Law Handbook edited by Fitzroy Legal Service. Sophie is a staunch Abolitionist Activist who spoke in detail about the handbook and how this will help prisoners with complaints and information about parole, to name but a few examples. Please check out the Fitzroy Legal Services website for more information.  The handbook will be in prison libraries shortly and is an excellent resource to assist people in prison.

There was also an extended interview with Boe Spearim, a First Nations Gamilaraay and Kooma radio host and podcaster.   Boe yarned about mining on sacred sites and gave an account of what is happening with Native title and legal battles with this ongoing campaign.
