Senator Lidia Thorpe made international headlines when she shouted at King Charles, rejecting the monarch's sovereignty and accusing him of genocide, in Parliament House this week. The Gurnai Gunditjmara and Djab-Wurrung woman has since claimed she did not really swear allegiance to the late Queen Elizabeth's heirs, as in King Charles, but to the Queens' “hairs”. Senator Thorpe has rejected calls for her to resign after she disavowed – however absurdly – her oath of office. But several real questions remain: What does the Constitution have to say about all this? Can Senator Thorpe be forced from parliament? Is it fair to ask a First Nations person to pledge allegiance to the monarchy? What about all those MPs that want Australia to become a republic? On this episode of the Briefing, Bension Siebert dives into all of these questions with Luke Beck, Professor of Constitutional Law at Monash University.

Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines//Today we heard the third instalment of Spike's conversation with Iain McIntyre from the Commons Social Change Library. Last week Iain talked about the resources available at the CSCL, who uses them and the importance of history in developing campaigns to address the present and future. In this the final segment, Iain and Spike talked about some of the social forces that work against acknowledging our radical heritage/history, and the importance of crafting counter narratives to communicate and raise awareness of our activist/critical culture. They also discussed how the CSCL's resources have been used by people, highlighting one of CSCL's main aims- to ensure that all its tools and resources are available and accessible to people of all backgrounds and abilities.

Amielia is a 21 year old Djab Wurrung woman and this week we would like to share her birth stories in celebration of NAIDOC week.Amielia only found out about the details of her indigenous ancestry when she was 12 and who her family were related to. She grew up learning about her cultural practices and a part of the disappointment in her first birth was the disconnect between these practices and the public hospital system. Later she would learn there was a program dedicated to indigenous women that she would seek to be a part of in her next pregnancy.When she first fell pregnant it was unexpected but despite this her partner vowed to support her no matter which path she took. She speaks about the lack of knowledge she had going into the pregnancy and how it felt going through her first pregnancy amid Covid lockdowns in Victoria.At 41 and 5 days, doctors suggested an induction which she agreed to. She had tested positive for Group B Strep. After what was deemed ‘failure to progress' at 2cm dilation Amielia felt powerless and agreed to an emergency caesarean after her baby's heart rate started to show signs of distress.After this experience Amielia did not want to be induced again. She hired a student doula and ended up experiencing the vaginal birth she always wanted at almost 43 weeks. Due to her baby passing meconium in her womb she agreed to have her baby tested for infection and tells us how her baby ended up staying in hospital for 5 days and what that experience was like for her.Thank you Amielia for sharing your VBAC journey with us.

Last week, on the eve of January 26, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that $20 million dollars had been spent to 'free' the Aboriginal flag from a previous deal that had seen a non-indigenous company retain a hold over who could use the iconic image. But not everyone is convinced that the red, yellow and black flag is in the rights hands now, and instead argue that ownership should have been transferred to First Nations people, not the Commonwealth Government. The Quicky speaks to a proud First Nations woman and Senator to find out why so many people are angry about the deal, and what could and should have been done instead to uphold the autonomy and self-determination of Australia's first peoples.

In this interview, Sarah Ghassali is joined by Australian Greens Senator for Victoria and Gunnai Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung woman Lidia Thorpe, during NAIDOC Week 2021. Thorpe, who became the first Aboriginal person to be elected to Victorian Parliament in 2017, shares her thoughts on NAIDOC Week, its history as a day of protest against colonisation, how we can make it more inclusive and progressive and tips for more ethical allyship for non-Indigenous listeners.  Thorpe also shares her views about the importance of the development of a treaty – a legal agreement between Indigenous Australians and the Australian Government – as the next step beyond reconciliation, and the necessity of having diverse voices in politics to enable real societal change.

It has been 30 years to the day since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody handed down its report, containing a shocking 339 recommendations to stop First Nations people dying at an alarming rate. But three decades on the situation has only gotten worse, with a disgraceful five Aboriginal deaths in custody in 2021 already. The Quicky speaks to two proud First Nations leaders to find out what if anything has been done since 1991 to try and address this issue, and discuss why we continue to see disproportionate rates of incarceration among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We've been hearing the term 'boys club' bandied around a fair bit surrounding the culture in Canberra... but what does it actually look like? Is it all leather couches and cigar smoking, or is it more about a culture that leaves mostly middle age white men making all the decisions with little input from others? The Quicky speaks to two female politicians and a female publisher who have experienced the 'boys club' on a daily basis to find out how we can move past it, and include everyone at the table.

Our guest today is Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe and she's a passionate advocate for human rights, social justice and the environment. She's also a proud Gunnai Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung woman, who takes inspiration from a long line of strong matriarchs in her family. In 2017, Lidia made history by becoming the first Aboriginal woman to be elected to the Victorian Parliament. And in 2020, she made the leap to Federal Parliament as the first Aboriginal Senator for Victoria. But Lidia's path into politics has not been typical. Growing up in public housing, she left school early to start working and her professional experience covers everything from Aboriginal services to running her own businesses. As an activist, Lidia spent years fighting the system from the outside. Now she's in the halls of power, determined to use her lived experience as a catalyst for change. In this special episode to mark International Women's Day, Lidia shares the story behind her move into politics, the hardest and most rewarding aspects of her work, what she hopes to achieve in her role as a Senator and why we need more women from diverse backgrounds in public office.

This week we give an update on the sacred trees on Djab Wurrung country and then hear about the launch of Hospo Voice's new app called mobilise. 

We delve into the details on the Ombudsman's report on the Victorian public tower lockdowns, then theorise that Australian politicians are being paid by aliens to perpetuate climate change. NSW Has the RoniNSW’s Northern Beaches is under lockdown.Seems likely the failures the quarantine requirements are to blame for the outbreak.Saving Djab WurrungThe Federal Court has ruled that the Victorian Government’s decision to build a highway through Djab Wurrung birthing trees was made incorrectly, and must be re-judged by someone who isn’t Sussan Ley.On the same highway project in 2015, in a “planning blunder” led to the destruction of 900 native trees.Cop tower reduxThe Victorian Ombudsman’s report into the public tower lockdowns (PDF link) has been released.In July, 3000 people in public housing tower blocks were locked down with zero notice.Our podcast episode on the tower lockdown from July.Tower residents were only able to go outside and exercise in guarded cages.Like the hotel quarantine report, we probably won’t know who was responsible for these decisions.Posting for climate actionChina’s state media has reported that China is banning all imports of Australian coal.Scott Morrison says this is baseless “media speculation”.Australia’s coal isn’t really better than other countries.Australians now have cheap lobsters for Christmas.Resource Minister Matt Canavan’s brother’s coal mine has collapsed.Now Canavan is calling for a trade levy on iron ore.Morrison’s “I stopped these” plaque.Atlantean plotsTreasurer Josh Frydenburg wants an inquiry on why banks aren’t lending to coal projects.George Christensen, complex online presence.The Federal government are subsidising fuel to keep refineries open.Australia is spending $94 million dollars to stockpile fuel in the US.The Victorian government is proposing a new tax on electric vehicles.Pulp factsAnthony Pratt’s company Visy has received $10m from Australia’s bushfire recovery fund.The application process for the bushfire fund is… obtuse.For regular people, the bushfire recovery fund does not exist.Anthony Pratt’s wealth grew from $15.57bn to $19.75bn in 2020.ActionsThe Mantra 60 refugees have been moved to the Park Hotel in Carlton.

In this episode I have two interviews for you.  One with Gabe Lillington, the young man who was up the tree when the last show was recorded.  He spent two nights and three days up in what is called the grandfather tree to successfully halt works until legal processes mandated a stop work reprise – until the 19th of November – which is this week. The other interview is with a woman who goes by the name of Spring Blossom. Both are Castlemaine residents and both have been visiting and living at the Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy camp on and off over the last few years. We discuss what the action a couple of weeks ago was like for them and what it means to them to be an indigenous ally in times like this. Though we are discussing action happening on Djab Wurrung land, both of these interviews were recoded back on Jarra country. I would like to pay respects to elders past, present and emerging as the struggles of being a traditional custodian of these occupied lands has not gone away.

It may have been labelled ‘The Curse' by some, but in this episode we'll explore how the menstruation phase can actually be a blessing.I share how I approach my menstruation phase, and how this enables me to step into a new cycle with intention, and building energy. Personally, if I skip this step, I usually find that I feel a bit flat and sluggish for the rest of the month. And on the flip side, when I move through my menstruation phase ‘well', I feel the benefits all month long. So it's a biggie!Got questions?I've had lots of people get in touch with questions arising from my podcast episodes on the menstrual cycle, and I'll be answering them in an upcoming episode. Do you have a question? I'd love to know!

Happy NAIDOC week! This week we discuss the tearing down of a 350 year old Djab Wurrung directions tree, the cultural genocide it represented and how the subjugation of First Nations people never ended. We talk about the white supremacy that allows the destruction of sacred Indigenous sites, and all the other ways the Australian state has continued to perpetuate genocide against First Nations people. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. Article mentioned: https://www.smh.com.au/national/what-do-these-sacred-trees-tell-us-about-aboriginal-heritage-in-australia-20201030-p56a0g.html Soaliha: @soalihaofficial Mitch: @mitchs.miscellanea Email: heresthethingthopodcast@gmail.comPayPal: PayPal.me/soaliha Facebook Group: Here’s The Thing, Tho With Soaliha Podcast Group  

When the Western Highway in Victoria was approved for an upgrade, it kicked off a two year battle that still hasn't ended. In fact, just as Melbourne was coming out of lockdown, one of the sacred trees of the Djab Wurrung people, which is in the way of the current highway plan, was cut down and hauled away. The Quicky investigates why Australia's first nations people still have to fight to keep stop their sacred sites from being destroyed.

Hey listeners, heard you like megasodes. What's that? Two and a half hours is too long for a podcast episode? Well, on the one hand, you're right. And on the other, here we are.   We got carried away with our first in-person record but there was a lot to talk about: The upcoming US election, the downgoing QLD state election, a li'l Musk Update for ya, and then two meaty and really quite depressing topics: Australian police and state over-reach, with a particular focus on the destruction of Djab Wurrung birthing trees, and the EHRC report into antisemitism in the UK Labour Party plus subsequent suspension of old Jez. There's also some directionless waffle at the end about what's next for the left, questions of scale, focus, etc.

The protests also come as a result of reductions in funding from the Australian Government to the International Organisation of Migration. [1:00:56] Professor Carl Grodach, director of Urban Planning and Design at Monash University speaks to us about the patterns of industrial land usage and the changing nature of industry towards smaller companies. With many large industrial land areas to be redeveloped, Carl emphasizes the importance of maintaining a diversity of land uses and users in order to create more livable cities. Music:Mystery of Love - Sufjan StevensBecause I Love You  - The Master’s Apprentices

Djab Wurrung Eviction: Our Way, or the highway!The Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy blockade is facing eviction this week! For fifteen months now they have made a stand to protect more than two hundred and sixty sacred trees - of deep cultural significance and up to eight hundred years old - from being bulldozed by the Victorian state government to make way for a section of freight road between Melbourne & Adelaide that will save two minutes of driving time. Djab Wurrung have put a red alert call out NOW for people to come and support on the ground as they stand strong against the full force of the Victorian state. In the last few days hundreds of people have been visiting and staying at the camps, and this level of numbers is currently keeping the bulldozers out.

“I see that the picture is bigger than me. This is way bigger than me. Two weeks in I said, this is global.” The Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy have been protecting sacred land threatened by the Western Highway expansion project. The plans will duplicate the highway for a twelve kilometre stretch just before Ararat, Victoria. Traditional Owners and allies have been living across three embassies for over a year, blocking the development of the road. After months of protesting, applying for Heritage listing and appealing in court, the Embassy members are being threatened with eviction. Last month we spoke to Amanda, one of the key members of the Embassy. Podcast Transcript: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/1c5130_2effb20214924cfeb5288fe293b7e80e.pdf

Hoy bleakers, Darcy's back and there's a couple weeks before Kieran's gone. So here's a bit of a megasode, a two hour paean to political monstrosity that orbits around the dark star of the UK Tories. Darcy runs down the origins of the name and the deep legacy of vicious ineptitude that lives on in the current party. He also takes a look at how they differ from our tories and also how the two parties resemble each other. There's kind of a mini B Topic where we gripe about how shit the current Labor party are. Our stories are: Australian aged care facilities are killing their residents through the totally normal and understandable malady of malnutrition; Victorian authorities are doing sweet fuck-all to prevent the bulldozing of the sacred sites of the Djab Wurrung people; George Calombaris fully got away with stealing nearly eight million dollars and I guess the powers that be barely give a fuck; and a little bit of a Musk Update, which is mostly an excuse to talk about the Grimes fitness regimen thing that fooled way too many people. The album we pulled our old outro music from has been released - Ziggurat Vertigo by Leonardo's Robot. You can listen to it on Bandcamp or Spotify using the links below. Our exit music for this episode, the song 'Concrete', is taken from the album.
