 Acknowledgement of Country// Save Cohealth Rally speeches, Sunday 26th April, Collingwood Cohealth. The rally demands that Labor release the independent review findings that they have had for almost two months, announce a rescue package to save more that 12,500 people who are going to lose access to critical health services and flood emergency departments. We hear from patients, families, cohealth workers, Yarra City coucillors, union delegates, on why this can not happen. This intersects with demolition of public housing, proposed cuts to the NDIS, the cost of living crisis where emergency departments are reporting a resurgence of presentations of scurvy (severe, prolonged vitamin & nutrient deficiency). Cohealth still plans to close its Collingwood, Fitzroy, and Kensington services in July. Follow the campaign via instagram.com/socialistsinhealthcare/ //We are joined by Asylum Seeker Resource Centre deputy CEO Jana Favero to discuss the coalition's widely criticised and overtly racist immigration plan. Announced on the 14th of this month, the proposed immigration policy employs sensationalist language and baseless fear mongering to reinforce white nationalist values within so-called Australia's already prejudicial immigration processes. Jana Favero has worked at the ASRC for 14 years, currently serving as the Head of Systemic Change and leading ASRC's political engagement as a trusted expert on asylum and refugee policy.//Noel Lim, CEO of Anika Legal, speaks with us about the release this week of a new report commissioned by Better Renting, Anika Legal and the Consumer Policy Research Centre which highlights perceptions of rental housing stability and needs for reform in Australia.

Anika Legal is a free, online legal service providing support to Victorian renters.//We replay a segment of 3CR's Radio FILEF program's International Women's Day special, featuring a round-table discussion between FILEF members Hanna, Margherita, Renata and Lorella.

Brenda grew up in the 1950s in Daylesford, the only child of a kind, compassionate mother and a father who drank too much. She married at 19, moved to the city and met with discrimination when she found that, as a married woman, she could not longer be employed by the bank where she worked. She moved to the suburbs to build a typical 1950's family but grew apart from her husband and divorced. Her next husband shared many of Brenda's interests but was somewhat unreliable and a drinker.

The daughter of parents in the entertainment industry, Sianna enjoyed a lot of freedom in her childhood and grew up amongst interesting people. There was lots of alcohol around and rules and routines were not important in the family. In her early adulthood, Sianna found that she was having difficulties in intimate relationships; in particular she found herself willing to sacrifice herself in order to meet the needs of her partners. In Al-Anon she learned to live in a more balanced way, keeping a sense of what is her business to manage and to communicate simply and honestly with other people, instead of being focused only on their needs.If you think that Al-Anon  could help you cope with someone else's problem drinking then you can phone 1300 252 666 or go to their website al-anon.org.auShow your support for the Living Free show by donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donate#Alcoholism #Al-Anon #RecoveryIf you would like more information about Alcoholics Anonymous, they can be contacted on 1300 222 222 or go online at aa.org.au The Living Free show may involve discussion of topics such as suicide, mental illness, self-harm and family violence.

In this second part of our conversation on critical minerals with researcher and activist Mercedes Zanker (Renegade Activists), we examine the global supply chains that shape how these resources are controlled, processed, and distributed.

Di was born the eldest child in a family of girls to a mother who favoured boys.
