Congratulations to Liz Shield, winner of a copy of Micaela Sahhar’s Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. Our thanks to everyone who entered, and to Tony Birch for this wonderful giveaway prize.

We listen back to a talk by Ana Chã of Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement (MST) on the story of MST's organising around food sovereignty, an issue that the movement has championed for over 40 years. This talk originally aired on 3CR's Earth Matters program on 18 May 2025, and was presented at the event 'Food Sovereignty Day' on the 12th of April 2025, coordinated by LASNET, Degrowth Network Australia, and Guerrilla Gardening Naarm Collective. Catch Earth Matters every Sunday from 11-11:30AM on 3CR855AM.

We played the final episode of the ‘Our Stories, Our Flats’ series, produced by Ayan Shirwa. In this episode, we heard from R-coo from 44 Flats United about their campaign to defend public housing, and community advocate Barry Berih shared what motivated him to take Homes Victoria to court.

File Explorer spoke with Inez about their latest club night, Phantasy Break, which he started in early 2025 to champion the sounds of Footwork from Chicago and Jungle from London.File Explorer took this opportunity to further showcase alternative dance music in Naarm with queer, trans, and femme selectors, creating a safer space away from some of the ''bro-culture'' of mainstream club scenes, and a place to truly let loose. File Explorer spoke about how the first club night went, their music influences, the nuances of curating an event where people feel free to actually dance with each other, and what they hope to bring into their club night tomorrow, Friday the 3rd of October at QQQ St Park 2 Peel St Collingwood, from 7pm - 1am.

Vicki has extensive professional experience across private legal practice and with in-house legal teams, and joined the Centre in early-2024. Her current research focuses on how technology, particularly GenAI, is impacting the legal profession and reshaping how legal services are delivered.
