Jewish Council of Australia | Covid Mask Bloc Naarm | S11 Protest | Gay Liberation Show 1978 on Lesbianism |

Monday, 22 June 2026 - 7:00am to 8:30am
Welcome to the Monday Breakfast Show! 
 
Headlines: 
  • NSW police clear Waterloo public housing protest encampment ahead of redevelopment works
  • US to stockpile weapons in regional Victoria town of Bandiana

We were first joined by Ohad Kozminsky, member of the Jewish Council of Australia, the AEU, and a collective within the AEU pushing to build activism in the union known as FIGHT THE CRISIS. We spoke about the JCA's contributions to the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion, the in-principle agreement that AEU members voted to reject, and building activism within the AEU rank and file. 
 
Buzz from the Covid Mask Bloc Naarm joined us to speak about the organisation, distributing masks, zines and air purifiers to anti-colonial organisations.
 
We played archival audio from the s11 protests - as part of a compilation series of audio being played on breakfast shows over the next week. 
 
The show ends with a conversation from the 11th of October 1978 -- the Gay Liberation Show featured a conversation with Jules Cassidy, author of We Are Here: Conversations With Lesbian Women. Provided to us by the Australian Queer Archives!
