7:00am - Acknowledgement of Country

7:05am - Disability pride is a great thing - White Pride is a nightmare; A launch of a new disability pride mural in Footscray drew beautiful words from new Executive Director of Art Access Victoria Caroline Bowditch, while Pauline Hanson's insane request that the senate recognise white-ness as 'ok' has the oppostie effect. Fraser Anning carries on being a misinformed, paranoid crank and Tony Abbott remains a power-hungry person. 

7:20am - We speak to Steve Wilson from The Friends of Stony Creek about the announcement of over $1 million from government and water authorities to fix the catastrophic damage to important urban water way the Stony Creek.

7:30am - Joined in the studio by Niharika Senapati, an Australian collaborator on Belerus Free Theatre's new play Trustees, opening at the Malthouse on October 3rd. 

7.50am - Over The Wall:  Duncan Graham presents information of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, speaking to real people who are navigating this new hugely important system. 

8.00am - We are joined in the studio by Kerry Davis a performer in a new production of david Williamson's play A Conversation which explores justice, class, violence and prison through the eyes of the families of both victim and perpetrator. Kerry also works in the domestic violence space and brings insight into some of the radical ideas in the 20-year-old play - still relevant today.
