Exposing HTA Global's links to genocide, getting Victoria 'Climate Ready', and Robbie Thorpe's speech at Free Palestine rally

Monday, 5 February 2024 - 7:00am to 8:30am

Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show, presented and produced by Rob Harrison and Grace Tan. This week we bring you four segments from across the spectrum of radical news. 

As Israel’s genocidal conquest of Palestine continues to play out, the ways in which governments and companies all over the globe are complicit are simultaneously becoming transparent. One of those companies can be found right here in so-called melbourne. They’re known as HTA Global. Rob spoke with Liz from Renegade Activists to talk about how. Come along to protest HTA Global’s involvement in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians on 11AM this Friday the 9th of February at 43B Lara Way, Campbellfield.

Following that interview we revisited 

Grace's interview from last week's show with Dr Adrian Farrugia, Senior Research Fellow in the Drugs, Gender and Sexuality program at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University. They discussed whether pill testing is the answer to reducing harm of drug use and Australian youth drug education. 

We then played a speech by Uncle Robbie Thorpe, a fellow 3CR presenter. at yesterday's Free Palestine rally. You can catch him on the Bunjil's Fire show every Wednesday from 11am to 2pm. Rallies for a Free Palestine are ongoing every Sunday at 12pm at the State Library, please continue to show up for the people of Palestine. 

Finally we heard 

Cam Walker, from Friends of the Earth, speaking to Annie McLoughlin of Solidarity Breakfast to discuss FOE's plan for a 'Climate Ready Victoria'. You can listen to Solidarity Breakfast every Saturday from 7:30 to 9AM.
