Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 14th of July 2025. On today's show: Headlines: French parliament recognises 'New Caledonia' as its own state despite Indigenous Kanak resistance. NDIA admits to removing participant from scheme following participant's alleged criticism of scheme on social media Last Monday members of the Allan government met with what's called the 'anti-hate task force' in response to a number of events around so-called Melbourne, including an attack on a synagogue and continued protest against genocide in Palestine and ties to Israel. Both the Allan government and multiple media outlets such as The Age, the Herald Sun and the ABC were quick to conflate these events as anti-Semitic in yet another attempt to stifle criticism of Israel, the Victorian government, and other entities which have partnered with the Zionist settler-colony. The Monday Breakfast show was joined by Ohad Kozminsky, executive member of the Jewish Council of Australia, an independent Jewish voice supporting human rights and opposing antisemitism and racism, to speak about the task force and the false conflation of anti-genocide protest with anti-Semitism. Edmi spoke with Ian Hamm about the Yoorrook Justice Commission report and its findings, the responsibilities of First Nations people and settlers alike in pushing for First Nations sovereignty and land back, as well as using a framework of looking to the future when taking part in the struggle. Ian is a Yorta Yorta man who has been actively involved in the Victorian Indigenous community in a personal and professional capacity for over 30 years. He has had a wide exposure to, and led, policy reform and program implementation for both the State and Federal Governments at executive level, mostly notably in Aboriginal Affairs. Since 2000, Ian has been a board member of a range of NFP's, including a number as Chair. He has led some of these organisations through change and adaption to ensure they are well placed for the challenges of improving the lives of people in a rapid changing environment. Ian is Chairperson of the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation, First Nations Foundation, and President of the Community Broadcasting Foundation up until a couple of weeks. He is also a Board Director on The Healing Foundation, Yarra Valley Water, and Aboriginal Housing Victoria. Ian is also a sessional panel member on the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and Planning Panels Victoria. We play a segment from the Earth Matters show, providing Sasha Mainbridge's perspective on what she's learnt from life after a flood and the need to build back better after extreme weather events. Sasha is a resident of Mullumbimby, in the flood-prone Northern Rivers region of NSW, She is the founder and president of Mullum Cares, a non-profit organisation that focuses on resource conservation. Listen to the full episode and more from the Earth Matters crew at 3CR.org.au/earthmatters or listen live on Sunday from 11 to 11:30AM. The show ends with a conversation between Edmi and Emily, one of the editors from Dissolution Magazine, a local radical print publication. (Dis)solution creates and publishes work to unravel the knots of injustice in the post-end-of-history Anthropocene. It turns a critical eye to the machinations of exploitation at the intersections of politic, culture, and ecology, and the crisis and contradiction that follows. (Dis)solution believes in work that analyzes our world without insularity, work that informs our everyday-political movement through the eroding topographies of the 21st century—not merely to understand it, but to change it. Read more about Dissolution mag here.  Community announcements: Sri Lanka's tea industry – the second-biggest source of tea imports to Australia – is at a turning point. Plantation workers, who already work to unfair quotas in unsafe conditions, have been facing a shift from permanent, full-time employment to casualisation – losingincome, benefits, leave, job security and the right to unionise. On Saturday 19 July at Balam Balam Place, join Ceylon Workers' Red Flag Union activist Menaha Kandasamy to learn about their struggle for a fairer life, and find out how you can support them. Balam Balam Place is wheelchair accessible, masks are encouraged.
