Nerita Waight, CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, speaks with us about how Victoria's tough on crime agenda is exacerbating systemic failures in duty of care to Aboriginal people in custody. The Allan Labor Government's regressive bail law reforms have resulted in rising numbers of uncharged people being shuttled between police stations in Victoria, with particularly dire consequences for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are already subjected to systemic racism and intense targeting by police. In a media release published this Tuesday, VALS described the ordeal of their client Nathan, a proud Gunaikurnai man who was subjected to abhorrent treatment and conditions in Victoria Police custody, leading to the service seeking an emergency injunction in the Supreme Court to demand a life-saving transfer.//

Dr Anita Muñoz Chair, RACGP Victoria, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners joins us to discuss how GPs having independent decision making around the assessment and treatment of ADHD creates greater accessibility for patients with barriers to care, and allows GPs to support "whole person care".//

Prosper Australia's Executive Director Rayna Fahey unpacks Victoria's windfall gains tax, a state government taxation measure applied to land that has significantly increased in value due to rezoning. Earlier this week, the Property Council of Victoria put out a media statement and report urging the Victorian Government to abolish the windfall gains tax, claiming that it "kill[s] projects and deter[s] investment" - but as we'll hear from Rayna, that's not the whole story. Prosper is a not-for-profit organisation advocating for tax reforms to improve equality, productivity and sustainability in Australia.//

Last month on 3CR’s Done by Law..Human Rights Law Centre director Sarah Schwartz joined presenters Marissa and Beth to unpack the findings from the Federal Court Case "Browne vs Assistant Commissioner of Police". In this segment you’ll hear Sarah Schwartz detail the three challenges brought by HRLC on behalf of their clients Tarneen Onus Browne, Benny Zable and David Hack. The court ruled that Victoria Police’s declaration of the entire Melbourne CBD for six months was unlawful and invalid. This win calls into question the legality of other designated areas…and the thousands of police searches that have taken place under the declaration. If you want more background on this case, you can revisit our episode from 22nd Jan at 3cr.org.au/thursday-breakfast. You can catch Done by Law on air every Tuesday from 6-6:30pm.//

Mitchell Price, a PhD researcher at Monash University's Emerging Technologies Research Lab, joins us to discuss the growth of the data centre industry in Victoria and the potential impacts of this industry in the wake of the Allan Government fast-tracking the approval of a $1bn data centre at Port Melbourne this summer. The Allan Government has been open about its ambition to ruthlessly attract data centre investment, raising questions about the place of regulatory protections and public consultation when weighing up the the industry's impacts. Mitchell's research focuses on the growing data centre industry in Australia and examines its social, economic and environmental consequences.//
