First show back for 2020! 

[0:15:00] We listen to the speeches from the Invasion Day rally in Melbourne on Sunday 26th (of January), alongside some vox-pops around the day. This year, a large campaign was ‘Pay the Rent’ acknowledging that lands were never given, sovereignty was never ceded and with that, there remains an outstanding and ongoing cost due to First Nations community. The image above contains a collection of groups that audiences can donate to, helping pay the rent for the ongoing use and settlement of these lands.
