Segments:

Gary Foley is a Gumbaynggirr activist, artist, historian and writer. You can listen to the full lecture by Uncle Professor Gary Foley here.
- First part of the speeches from the counter rally, held yesterday morning to Support harm reduction and evidence-based healthcare. Standing against stigma, scapegoating, and the criminalisation of people who use drugs.
This rally was countering a network of North Richmond business owners, property developers, and local career politicians holding a rally in North Richmond which was promoting a “demand for action” in relation to “safety concerns” about people who use drugs. Part of an ongoing campaign targeting North Richmond’s medically supervised drug consumption space and the demonising of people who use this service.
- Interview with Ian Rintoul, author of an article published in Socialist magazine Solidarity, about the CFMEU Administrator's plans. The CFMEU's Administration has announced the next phase of the government-appointed body: a three-year-long and as yet undisclosed 'Strategic Review'. In its First Bi-Annual Report of the CFMEU — a document updating the Federal Minister for Workplace Relations on the Administrator's progress during its first six months — the Administrator claims multiple times the challenge against the Administration in the High Court has stymied its progress. Eight months in, just two of the dozens of CFMEU officials sacked across the continent when the Administration took control of the Union have formal charges laid against them: Michael and Darren Greenfield, two former NSW Officials, who are alleged to have received bribes from an employer.
