Robbie shares stories of early police crackdowns, including a recollection of an under-reported incident, demonstrating a long-held cultural friction between progressive and conservative culture in Australia "During an afternoon performance, members of the audience were attacked -- apparently without provocation -- by police in full riot gear, and more than 150 arrests were made. Many students barricaded themselves into the Union building. The next day they marched on Civic police station to protest the arrests, but the marchers were again set upon by police, who were accompanied by a group of 'bikers' who, Davies alleges, were colluding with the police to provoke violent incidents, resulting in more arrests." - AQUARIUS FESTIVAL OF UNIVERSITY ARTS at Milesago.com

SubUrbanista Podcast Episode 2 of The Suburbanista Podcasts focuses on politics and sex! Not the sexual proclivities of democratically elected representatives, but rather the political proclivities of Fiona Patten MLC, leader of the Reason Australia Party, formerly known as the Australian Sex Party. I explore with Fiona why and how she decided to run for state politics; and how the Australian Sex Party was formed and why it has evolved into the Reason Australia Party. Furthermore, we discuss Fiona's major political/policy interests and successes during her time in office and what remains on her to do list; and, how she was received within the Victorian State Parliament given her gender identity and role as a lobbyist for the adult industry in Australia over the last two decades. Our interview took place in the Kelvin Club in Melbourne in February 2018.

VICTORIAN INQUIRY INTO DRUG LAW REFORMSubmissions due Friday 17th March 2017We’ve been talking about this inquiry since November 2015, when the Australian Sex Party’s Fiona Patten MP pushed for a broad ranging inquiry into the state’s drug laws. Inquiries like this are conducted to give you, the citizen, a chance to comment on legislative issues. It is also a chance for academics and professional organisations to provide their expertise to often complex issues, with the goal of creating better policy outcomes in the future.Making a submission doesn’t have to be hard or complex. If you’re reading this and don’t know what you could add, remember that every voice counts, even if you only have something minor to add. Many people make one page submissions to inquiry focusing only on their personal knowledge. These submissions are an important part of the overall process as they add a level of common realism to the discussion, which is often lacking, especially when the right-wing tabloid media (grumble, grumble, Herald Sun, Channel 7 News) try to define and direct the discussion and propose their own legislative outcomes.Visit the Enpsychedelia website for an outline on a few issues that we have been covering since the show began on 3CR in 2015. MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT!PSYCHEDELIC SOCIETY FEBRUARY EVENTMUSICKalacoma - KaleidoscoperKalacoma are a five piece trip-hop/electronica band writing music which draws on their love of vintage tone and the avant-garde. By fusing electronic and acoustic elements, they layer intricate rhythms and filmic soundscapes with soaring melodic vocals, weaving diverse influences into something hard to pin down but seamless in its execution.Temple Step ProjectTemple Step Project’s intention is to bring the vibration of sacred ceremony to the dance floor via sacred bass music. Dubstep and Glitch Hop meets Middle Eastern and Shamanic, Spiritual Music. Stomping beats and whomping bass meet acoustic instrumental melodies, chants and overtones. Progressive synthesizers merge seamlessly with flutes, violins and oud. The Temple Step Project brings a unique blend of future tech music with an uplifting and healing vibration, a sense of the sacred and a depth like nothing before it.

First, a dedication to my friend Max Luca-Reddaway, who passed away on the 23rd of July 2015. This is for him:You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.And at one point you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.And you'll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy's still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly. Amen.MUSICDaheen - AnthropoceneSEGMENTFiona Patten of the Australian Sex Party discusses Portugal's decriminalised drug policy, after a visit there back in 2012.
