AUWU Member Arrested, Public Housing Demolition On Homelessness Week

Monday, 4 August 2025 - 6:00pm to Monday, 11 August 2025 - 6:30pm

Breadline, the show by welfare recipients for us. This episode first aired on Monday 4 August 2025, live from the 3CR studios in Fitzroy, with presenters Jessica Harrison and Daryl McDonald.

 

Jessica and Daryl discuss the recent arrest of their Breadline co-host and AUWU member Hank, who was arrested for his protest at the demolition of public housing.

 

It's Homelessness Week 2025, so Breadline features some on-the-street interviews with people sleeping rough in Naarm/Melbourne. These interviews were first aired on 3CR Thursday Breakfast.
