Join 3CR from 9am – 4pm on Thursday 26 January for our annual Invasion Day broadcast.

26 January signifies the beginning of invasion, colonisation, and displacement, and the start of a powerful movement of First Nations resistance and protest that is ongoing to this day. 3CR's First Nations broadcast team will be bringing you Blak and deadly music, and the voices of grassroots activists across the continent. Discussing genocide, sovereignty, treaty, pay the rent, deaths in custody, truth and justice, and the lore of the land…

7am Thursday Breakfast presents all First Nations interviewees as they bring you the regular morning mix of current affairs, media analysis & alternative news.

8.30am Lost in Science brings you an interview about Emu Sky, an exhibition curated by Barkandji woman Zena Cumpston, that explores and illuminates Indigenous perspectives related to science, innovation, plant use, land management and agricultural practice. The physical exhibition was presented at the University of Melbourne in 2022 however the website is still maintained so people can interact with it: https://emusky.culturalcommons.edu.au/exhibition/.

9am Tony Green (Strong Spirit) and Talgium 'Chocko' Edwards (Balam Waa) introduce the broadcast and chat with organisers at events in other cities.

10.30am Robbie Thorpe (Bunjil's Fire, The Black Block & Blak n Deadly) and Tash Norris (Beyond the Bars) join live from the ‘Stop the War – Treaty before Voice' rally and march in Melbourne.
