Wednesday, 22 April 2020 - 7:00am to 8:30am

[0:29:00] We speak to Professor David Sanderson about the impacts of COVID-19 especially in informal settlements and communities in Africa and how these communities are preparing and dealing with the crisis. We also chat about how this crisis may re-shape how basic necessesaties are met in informal settlements. 

 

[0:42:00] Joel Townsend from Legal Aid joins us to discuss the organisation's submission of recommendations to the current Victorian Homelessness Inquiry. The organisation's submission is a move toward a preventative technique rather than a crisis intervention set up.

[1:00:00] This week's Tram Thought involves a discussion on whether or not film photography has a place in our future. We talk the rise in film popularity in art forms and use among the youth and whether it is just a phase or making a comeback that sticks.
