We were delighted to welcome 3CR legend, Robbie Thorpe, to the show this week for NAIDOC celebrations. It was a rare opportunity to hear some things about Robbie's life away from the mic and we learnt a few things about the great man. Robbie intended to be a sportsman and was a keen footballer and boxer before a trip to the Aboriginal Tent Embassy changed his life trajectory when he was sixteen years old. He felt he couldn't be a sportsman in a land on which his people were suffering, and the rest is history. Robbie shares his thoughts on 3CR's broadcast series Beyond The Bars and we also hear some of his reflections on loss. Robbie currenly helms three programs on 3CR, including The Black Block, Bunjil's Fire and Blak n Deadly. Be sure to catch Robbie on one of his shows for some sharp, sovereign analysis, great phone calls and cool music. Thanks a bunch for all you do, Robbie.The Black Block, Mondays, 11am - 12pmBunjil's Fire, Wednesdays, 11am - 2pmBlak n Deadly, Fridays, 11am - 12pm

Ghillar is an Aboriginal rights activist, and leader of the Euahlayi tribe in north-western New South Wales and southern Queensland.

He is now Coordinator of the interim National Unity Government of the Sovereign Union. He was taught Euahlayi customs and traditions through his people's sacred ceremonies, and is a senior lawman. In 1979 he was appointed to the Office of the Public Prosecutions in criminal law as an instructing officer (the equivalent of a solicitor) in the state of New South Wales. Ghillar has lectured in Aboriginal studies and Aboriginal politics at several Australian universities, writing and teaching units in Aboriginal studies, and has also played professional Rugby League. He lives on and runs a sheep and cattle property on his ancestral lands on both sides of the New South Wales and Queensland border in the lower Ballone river system.
This week we are back to normal programming with a full episode - we look at the US midterms in the news and then have a look and see how the American Front Line Doctors are going.

Who'dathunkit!?!?Cooker update looks at the invasion of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy with "some real 1788 coloniser shit" when antivaxxers waited till the caretaker went to get some food and decided it was deserted. Pure sovcit logic right there. In Pete we look at the collapse of FTX. Turns out it was being used to fund child sex trafficking because of course it was. Only because SBF is a democrat, of course!

A public holiday was declared in Australia on 22 September to mark a day of mourning for the passing of the Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. And it was indeed a day of mourning for many First Nations Australians – but a day of mourning for Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, a day of mourning for loss of land, the attempted loss of culture, the removal of children and the continued and ongoing dispossession of Aboriginal people.Across the country, the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance organised rallies calling for the Abolition of the Monarchy, a return of land, and an end to Aboriginal deaths in custody.On today's program, I will bring you some of the speeches from the Melbourne rally. And later on the program, one speech from the 50 yr anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, as another marker of Aboriginal people's resistance to the Monarchy and to colonisation.With the voices of Donna Kerr and Meriki Onus, the family of Josh Kerr who died in custody 6 weeks ago; Lidia Thorpe, Australian Senator; and Dtarneen Onus, reading out a statement of Uncle Percy Nelson who was the partner of Veronica Nelson who died in custody.
Heading south from Honolulu today to Australia---like most places, a land still reckoning with its history. In 1972, four aboriginal Australian men set up umbrellas outside the old Parliament House in Canberra. They called it the Aboriginal Tent Embassy because they felt treated like aliens in their own homeland and were demanding land rights. That protest mushroomed, footage was viewed in 86 countries, it is the longest running continuous protest for indigenous land rights in the world. 50 years this year. In 2013, artist Richard E. Bell created a traveling "Aboriginal Embassy." Every time it goes up around the world, discussions about land rights and sovereignty are held inside. Material from previous iterations is incorporated at each new location. Bell is also a painter. His muscle-y paintings jump off the walls. Arresting colors in a patchwork, often with text, kind of Barbara Kruger meets Rauschenberg. With words like: "Pardon me for being born into a land of racists." And "You can go now." Also, "We know how to wait." Richard was due in Honolulu soon, so I caught him on a Zoom recently. I think youʻll enjoy him, I know I learned enough to need to know more. Richard Bellʻs "Embassy" is coming to Honolulu May 6 and 7. It's part of the Hawaiʻi Triennial 2022, "Pacific Century: E Hoʻomau no Moananuiakea" through May 8, 2022 at seven venues in Honolulu. This "Embassy" has gathered steam already in Moscow, New York, Jakarta, Jerusalem and Sydney. We will gather to add our manaʻo from Hawaiʻi on Friday, May 6, 5-6pm and Saturday May 7, 2-3 pm at the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum. Issues of land and sovereignty could not be more pressing, as we bleed with the resistance in Mariupol. We send these Brolga Bird Clan Songs to the resistance. By Dabulu and Magern, hear Australian aboriginal sounds on Smithsonian Folkways. We offer this chant from the Pacific in solidarity with Ukrainian resistance. Next up on fresh pacific, the fabulous girls from toqa.

The ongiong Tent Embassy action was sparked by then-Australian Prime Minister, Billy McMahon, announcing on Invasion Day Eve that his government would not be recognising Aboriginal land rights, and would instead be establishing a system of fifty-year leases.Today, Marisa hosts a special broadcast about Invasion Day, with a report of some of the events that happened over the country, interviewing two strong and powerful First Nations women:First, Aunty Megan Krakouer (from the National Suicide Prevention & Trauma Recovery Project) comes on the show to discuss Invasion Day issues, including Aboriginal youth detention and deaths in custody. Later, Marisa speaks with Lea-Anne Carter from the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS) about Invasion Day and her work on preventing Aboriginal deaths in custody. You can also listen to 3CR's annual Invasion Day special broadcast here.

Bruce Shapiro on the challenges Biden faces as he enters year two of his presidency, and the remarkable story of how the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was established fifty years ago.
Fifty years ago today a group of four Aboriginal men planted a beach umbrella on the lawns out the front of Parliament House, as part of a protest over land rights. That action marked the beginning of the longest ever Indigenous land rights protest in history: the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. Today, Kamilaroi Uralarai woman Frances Peters-Little on why land rights is fundamental to the campaign for Indigenous justice. Guest: Filmmaker, historian, author and musician, Dr Frances Peters-Little.
Fifty years ago, Gary Foley was among the protestors that established the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on the lawns of Parliament House. What started out as a media stunt turned into one of the most significant and enduring protests for Aboriginal land rights and sovereignty. This year it is celebrating fifty years of endurance.
The Aboriginal Tent Embassy was founded 50 years ago on Invasion day, January 26, in 1972. It is the world's longest ongoing protest camp.In this episode, we air some archival audio from 1992 on the 20-year anniversary and from 2012 on the 40-year anniversary. We hear the voice of Dr Roberta ‘Bobbi' Sykes, an excerpt of an interview with the late Aunty Pat Eatock from 3CR's coverage of 2012 Embassy's 40th anniversary, and 'The Dispossessed' a poem presented by the late Aunty Oodgeroo Noonuccal. Afterwards, we hear part of a conversation, first published on Instagram Live, on the Embassy's history and reflections on the misinformation circulating around recent events at the Old Parliament House in Canberra. The conversation is between Wiradjuri poet and podcaster Lorna Munro, who lives on Gadigal lands, and Ngambri woman Leah House. Lorna has worked on podcasting about gentrification, colonisation and unpacking the colonial playbook in many formats, including the Survival Guide series for Radio Skid Row.The documentary mentioned in the conversation is Ningla A-na.To find out more about the Aboriginal Tent Embassy visit www.atesovereignty.com.au.

Positivity Corner: The Palestine solidarity boycott of the Sydney Festival is very impressive activism! We talk about some of the common objections that have been going around twitter dot com and the newspapers' opinion pages, as well as BDS more generally and hasbarah (pro-Israel PR).

Trad Tasman Talk returns for the first show of 2022. NZ's First Dude Clarke Gayford is in the spotlight for attempting to secure RATs for his mates. Labour darlings easily secure scarce MIQ spots. Republican chatter erupts as Prince Andrew faces a lawsuit. Join Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer live tonight at 6pm Melbourne time and 8pm Auckland time. Jacinda Ardern's fiance Clarke Gayford tried to use his position as the first dude to obtain rapid tests for his Musician mates from a local pharmacy claiming there had been a change in policy. Currently in NZ RATs can only be accessed from pharmacies if you are traveling outside of Auckland. Close contacts and symptomatic kiwis can still only get a PCR test to find out if they have covid. Hillsong Church has escaped a fine for outdoor singing and dancing at its youth camp in Newcastle as there was a loophole in NSW public health orders. Some twitter conspiracy theorists believe this occurred because Scott Morrison is friends with former Hillsong leader Brian Houston and NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller is a member. Scott Morrison recently warned Australians not to hold Omicron parties as re-infection is possible with the variant. NZ still maintains its MIQ system for returning Kiwis where they must complete 7 days of hotel quarantine then 7 days of home isolation. The so-called MIQ lottery has seen a Labour MP returning from the Netherlands gain a spot as well as musician Lorde who will be performing at Jacinda and Clarke's wedding. The NZ summer has seen more shark sightings, beach drownings, and road fatalities. The local Coast Guard has said praying to demons will keep swimmers safe. The current chair of the Australian Republican Movement Peter FitzSimons released a new proposed Republic model where state and federal parliaments would nominate 11 candidates to weed out 'unsuitable candidates' which the Australian public would then vote. The Godfather of Australian Republicanism former Prime Minister Paul Keating has blasted this new model believing it would lead to a US-style presidency. The fallout from the Old Parliament House fire caused by an Aboriginal smoking ceremony on December 30 has continued with four people now arrested and charged. The Aboriginal activists present on the day of the fire are linked to the Original Sovereigns groups which are part of the larger pro-freedom and anti-vaccine mandate movement. They have been condemned by the leadership of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy who claim the Original Sovereigns have no legitimacy to represent Aboriginal tribal people. A new term has been created against the freedom movement's aboriginal rights advocacy: blackfishing. Dieuwe finishes the show by going through the latest fear from the globalist World Economic Forum that post-covid there will be less social cohesion amongst the human populations. This would obviously threaten the globalists' power and is not one of the desired effects they hoped the pandemic would result in as part of their great reset.

It is our honor this week to spend the full hour with Robbie Thorpe (Gunai/Mara), one of the most outspoken, well-known and respected Aboriginal rights activists in Australia. He is a former volunteer worker at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in the Australian capital of Canberra. Aboriginal Tent Embassy has been a permanent protest occupation site since 1972 and is a focus for representing the political rights of Aboriginal Australians located. Robbie is the host of two radio programs at 3CR 855 AM Community Radio - "radical radio, community radio" - in Melbourne, Australia. "Bunji's Fire" is a historically informed, critical analysis of Aboriginal affairs and the ongoing political movement for land rights, treaty, sovereignty and the cessation of genocide, which also features the best of blak music. It's heard Wednesdays in Melbourne, from 11 am to 2 pm. "Blak 'n Deadly" airs Fridays from 11 am to noon in Melbourne. The show informs listeners about the latest news in Indigenous music and theatre with First Nations presenters. When 3CR Community Radio hit Melbourne's airwaves in 1976, it was Australia's first community-owned and community-run grassroots radio station. Outspoken and independent, the station still gives voice to issues that would otherwise go unheard, and to people striving for political and social justice. Listen to 3CR online at 3cr.org.au. Both of Robbie's shows can be streamed live on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 7 pm Eastern Time in the US.In closing, Tiokasin talked about Akantu Institute, an organization that he recently founded. Akantu Institute "contextualizes original wisdom for troubled times."

Midweek, giant burning koalas blocked the Parliament House ring road while Scot Morrison and Susan Ley impersonators glued themselves to the white line in the middle of the road. At the weeks end the 23 prams paraded together led by Uncle ALbert Hartnett. He talks of solidarity between eco activists and aboriginal people and calls for participation in the 50th birthday of the Aboridginal Tent Embassy in January 2022, in Canberra.

Our history is full of bold acts of defiance — from the 1938 Day of Mourning, to the Cummeragunja walk-off, the Pilbara strike, the Palm Island strike, the Gurindji walk-off and the longest continuous protest ever staged.

The women are from the Kaytetye aboriginal group in Central Australia and are raising the alarm, again, about the unsafe levels of uranium and other dirty solutes in their bore drinking water. This unjust situation has been going on for far too long as successive governments fail to act .

On 26 January 1972 four Aboriginal men began a protest outside Parliament House in Canberra, Australia. They erected a beach umbrella on the grass and called it an 'embassy'. Plus, the murder of five lawyers in Madrid in 1977, which became a turning point in Spain's return to democracy; the invention of the microwave oven; Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; and 75 years of the BBC's longest-running programme, Desert Island Discs.
Warning to Indigenous Australians -this episode may refer to people who have passed away. On Australia Day 1972, four young Aboriginal men erected a beach umbrella on the lawns outside Parliament House in Canberra and put up a sign, which read 'Aboriginal Embassy'. Check out a short youtube documentary about this important political protest site (but ignore some of the stupid racist comments in the comments section): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlBS4GO-xJE Kenny Dampier, Executive Producer, is down with a bug. So apologies for the low production quality. But thanks to Emmie, the wonder dog, for helping with the recording.
Episode 4 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast starts the conversation about the thorny issue of cultural stereotypes - and how travelling and meeting people of all different cultures can really help you smash through stereotypes and learn that people really are all the same. The first guest in this episode is Canadian travel blogger turned Peruvian resident Nora Dunn of The Professional Hobo, and she has an interesting tale to tell about meeting some indigenous Australians at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra. Nora is followed by another extract from my fabulous chat with Kiliii Fish, who has worked extensively with indigenous people across the world and has so much of interest to say on the subject. Finally, I chatted with Joe Baur of the Without A Path podcast about other stereotypical views people have, particularly when it comes to labelling a country and its people as either safe or dangerous. All of these guests will leave you something to think about, I’m sure!
