Change The Record: Rights for Indigenous People, AI Surveillance Infiltrating Civilian Life, Kitty Beach's Audio Zine, 'Smoko' on at the Fringe

Tuesday, 13 October 2026 - 7:00am to 8:30am

Mililma May is a Danggalaba Kulumbiringin Tiwi woman and Advocacy & Campaigns Manager at Change the Record, Australia's only First Nations-led coalition of legal, health + family violence prevention experts. She recently spoke to Jodi Ryder on Noongar Radio's Our Voices to talk about the work of Change the Record, an organisation that seeks to dismantle unjust systems that criminalise, oppress and violate the human rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We played the first part of this interview last week. Today we'll be palaying Part 2, in which Mililma talks about the 'slow genocide' that is being committed against First Nations people on this continent. This interview was first broadcast on 29 September.

 

Lizzie O'Shea is a lawyer, author and founder of Digital Rights Watch. She joins us on the program to discuss the recent alleged family violence breach caused by Israeli AI livestreamed basketball matches in Ballarat and child safety concerns that have arisen from the streaming of underage games. We will also discuss the broader implications of AI technologies infiltrating civilian life.

 

Kitty Beach is a queer and neurodivergent artist spanning mediums such as poetry, graphic design, singer/songwriting and guitar. 'Sad Songs,' is part of Volume Press, an audio zine by Many Hands Make, and today Kitty is on air with us to discuss how this piece came to be.
