- From the archives: for the 21st anniversary broadcast of National Sorry Day, 3CR's Radioactive Show aired an interview between Aunty Hazel Collins, one of the founders of Grandmothers Against Removals, originally played by the Central Australia Aboriginal Media Association with host Teghan Hughes. Grandmothers Against Removal are an organisation working on the frontlines to prevent children from being removed from their families and creating yet another stolen generation. Aunty Hazel Collins and Teghan speak about the injustices faced by children who are removed from their families by the colonial government. The interview starts by addressing comments aired on Sunrise in March 2018 in which they implied that the Stolen Generation was necessary and needed to happen again. GMAR is holding a rally they've organised on Tuesday at 10AM outside Preston Town Hall calling for the end of child removals.
