Members of the MUA
Comrades,
This will be my last Fired Up Maritime Union radio show as my term as Assistant Branch Secretary of the Maritime Union ends June 30th 2019.
It's probably a good time to get out, as my healh has been knocked around a fair bit, especiallly over the past 6 months.
I'd like to comment that it's been great Co-Hosting the show in company with Melissa McMullin, as Melissa has helped prepare and appear on the show.
We couldn't have done the show without 3CR's respected panelist Annie McLoughlin, so a special mention of appreciation to Annie.
We hope the show was educational and a bit of an escape from your everyday lives, and we sincerley aplogise for playing only the one Nickleback song in those 4 years.
To our loyal listeners, thank you for being part of the show.
What direction the show goes in the future, is purely for the next Officials to determine.
Regards
Jeff Hoy

The idea that as human beings we have universal and inalienable rights has been internationally recognised since the birth of the United Nations in the mid-20th Century. But how effective has this idea actually been? Additionally, in what ways does the regime, created by and in the interests of the US (and western imperialism), actually uphold the power structures and inequalities it claims to fight against? On 10 December for Human Rights Day, Tuesday Breakfast will reflect on these questions between 7 - 8.30am. They'll unpack the history of human rights, explore just how effective they are, and discuss issues of unequal access between states in the Global North and Global South.
On Disability Day this year we hear from BIPOC (Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Colour) with various kinds of disabilities across 12 hours of dedicated programming. On 3 December from 7am-7pm we'll feature 'Power from the margins' covering BIPOC perspectives, live music, artists and discussion. Check out the full details here.

They have different skin tones, and appear to be different ages. One of the people illustrated is Jane Rosengrave; she is flexing her biceps and wearing an Aboriginal Flag t-shirt.
