Podcasts about fed square

From Fatboy Slim's DJ set a fish and chip shop, to Robbie Williams at Fed Square, Melbourne has been treated to some very exciting pop up style gigs — but just how spontaneous are these performances and what's in it for the artist? Also a new filter trending on TikTok called the 'chubby filter' has been criticised for perpetuating fatphobia and body shaming — so just how damaging can trends like this be. Plus, we learn about a new campaign that seeks to combat youth homelessness.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday October 28th, 2024.  Last week, Eric spoke with Myles Russell-Cook about Reko Rennie's REKOSPECTIVE exhibition at The Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia in Fed Square. The pair spoke about the exhibition, the importance of platforming Indigenous artists, toxic masculinity as well as art being inherently political.  This Saturday, there was an anti-military rally on the Geelong waterfront organised by IPAN Geelong & Vic Southwest, and Elbit out of Vic (an initiative of Free Palestine Coalition Naarm), denouncing the push by ALL levels of Government to make Geelong a Military hub under the guise of 'job creation'. We will now hear from Zelda Grimshaw, an antimilitarist organiser with 'Wage Peace/Disrupt Wars' and a core organiser at the recent Disrupt Land Forces mobilisation. Zelda zooms out to discuss links between militarism and climate collapse from a decolonial perspective - bringing us the personal story of Wity Unue, a young man from the highlands of West Papua.The speech mentions an article about Wity's story, which includes the video of him singing with his friends prior to his murder.  [CW* This segment makes mention of military violence].  On Wednesday of last week around 300 workers from the Qantas Engineers Alliance, a coalition of workers from the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union, the Electrical Trades Union, and the Australian Workers Union, walked off the job for 24 hours. The strike is part of industrial action that the Qantas Engingeers' Alliance has been taking for weeks and was a response to Qantas' refusal to discuss a new enterprise agreement with the alliance. The current enterprise agreement expirence at the end of June; the alliance is asking for a 5 per cent per year pay rise as well as a 13.5 per cent first-year increase to compensate for three and a half years of wage freezes and to align wage levels with elsewhere in the industry. To talk about the action and the wider campaign for better conditions and wages for workers in the Qantas Engineers' Alliance, Rob spoke with Michael Wright, National Secretary of the ETU on Friday. NSW Police have conducted almost 900 strip searches at train stations since 2016, data released by Redfern Legal Centre last week has revealed. Of the 883 strip searches conducted, a disproportionate number were conducted on First Nations people, making up 9% of all searches. A total of 66 searches involved children aged between 10 and 17. To speak more about the data and the legality of the searches, Rob spoke with Sam Lee, supervising solicitor at Redfern Legal Centre. A class action filed by Inner Melbourne Community Legal launches today to find answers about why the Victorian Government made its decision to 'retire and redevelop' 44 public housing buildings across the state. Lead plaintiff Barry Berih argues that the Victorian Government did not properly consider the human rights of residents when making its decision to demolish the towers. To find out more about the class action Rob interviewed Harry Millward, General Secretary of the Renters and Housing Union. The class action will be taking place today and tomorrow at the Supreme Court on Lonsdale St, with the residents requesting for Community Members to come down in support if possible. You can also find out more at imcl.org.au ; and listen back to the last episode of Raise The Roof on the 3CR website, which presented voices of affected older residents. Raise the Roof is hosted by the Housing for the Aged Action Group, and you can find that previous show at 3cr.org.au/HAAG.      

Aujourd'hui, Valentine Sabouraud nous parle de Federation Square, un lieu emblématique de Melbourne que nous connaissons bien à SBS puisque nous y avons la chance d'y avoir nos bureaux ! Œuvre d'art à ciel ouvert, sa construction n'a pas été sans peine. Récit avec le témoignage de l'architecte Don Bates et les archives de Fed Square.

Victoria, known for its cultural diversity, hosts a variety of Diwali festivals across the state. However, the celebration at Melbourne's Federation Square stands out, drawing hundreds of attendees each year. It has become a key fixture in the city's events calendar, consistently delivering a vibrant experience for the local community. Tune in to this podcast as Vani Pandya and Ashish Chawla, two team members from Celebrate India, the organisation that has been hosting the event for the past 19 years, share the highlights of this year's celebration. The event is scheduled to take place on 26 October this year.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 7th of October 2024, dedicated entirely to speaking about Palestine, Palestinian resistance, and contextualising October 7th 2023 within a larger history of Israel's apartheid and genocide against Palestine. In this show you'll hear:  First up today, we will be listening to the first article from Issue Three of The Sunday Paper, and about the events of October 7th and the Palestinian Resistance doctrine. These topics are of particular importance to Issue Three, in which the editorial statement states “While outwardly supportive of Palestinian rights, and perhaps even self described as radically anti-colonial, many progressive publishers, platforms and organisations will quietly erase words like ‘martyr' or ‘intifada' and will quickly withdraw their support at the mention of armed liberation struggle”.You can go back and listen to the full editorial statement in the introductory episode, for a complete explanation of Issue Three's conceptual basis here. The piece we are featuring today, titled 'Tarakum' was written by a Palestinian PhD candidate in political science who wrote this analysis on the events of October 7 2023, under the pseudonym ‘Nabil Mustafa'. Read by Jeanine Mohanned, and with theme music from DOBBY, and includes the track the track ‘Liberation of Palestine', performed by Bilal and Khader Al-Ahmad. This episode was produced on Wurundjeri land, which was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues as does Indigenous Resistance. Support the project by subscribing to their substack and gaining full access to their podcasts.Following that, Rob had an extended interview with Mai Saif, local Palestinian organiser who has been campaigning and fighting for justice for over a decade. They spoke about the Free Palestine movement here in Naarm, how life has changed for Palestinian activists over the past year, and what it has been like to organise a year of consistent rallies advocating for a free Palestine. We then hear speeches from the Sunday Free Palestine Rally on the 6th of October: Senator Lidia Thorpe spoke on the parallels between Palestinian and Australia Aboriginal genocide, before giving the floor to her uncle, Uncle Robbie Thorpe for an unexpected speech after spending 3 weeks in hospital. After, fellow Aboriginal activist and academic Professor Gary Foley took to the stage with a scathing rebuke of Australian Government hypocrisy.Finally, Rob spoke with Esther from the Flood The Post Campaign, which is a push to send as many physical postcards to MPs around this continent in order to pressure them to take meaningful action on Palestine. You can find out more about their campaign here and pick up a Flood The Post postcard at the reception desk of 3CR at 21 Smith Street in 'Fitzroy' during business hours. The show ends with a list of community announcements, mostly based around October 7th:  Monday night from 6pm: Vigil for Gaza to commemorate the first anniversary of the first bombs dropped on Gaza in Israel's current genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. October 7 2023 also marks the first day Israel transformed Gaza from an 'open-air prison' into a 'graveyard for children'. No ministers, no Victorian Premier, no Prime Minister will join this multifaith, multicultural vigil. Wear your kufiya, wear black and respect the silent procession which starts at the Marquis of Linlithgow monument, corner of Anzac Avenue, and St Kilda Rd from 6pm sharp.There will also be a vigil this Friday the 11th of October at Federation Square from 6:30pm. The event organised by Free Palestine Melbourne is an event to grieve the many thousands of victims at the hands of Israel's violence.On Palestine National Day, the 1st of November, at 6pm Fed Square will see an event recognising Palestinian identity as a form of resistance. On Thursday evening the Migrant Workers Coalition hosts a public forum speaking about what's going on with the CFMEU. The forum will cover what the Labor Party's attacks on the CFMEU means for workers rights everywhere, how it will impact the real working and living conditions of tens of thousands of people and what we can do about it. Speakers include Ralph Edwards, Former presidentt of the Victoria CFMEU Construction and General Division and former BLF member; Sanja Markoska, CFMEU Construction worker and delegate; Guy Rundle, co-ordinating editor at Arena Quarterly and correspondent at large for Crikey. The forum will take place at 583 High St Thornbury from 6:30pm.

I have an incredible guest for you today. Joost Bakker is many things. He's an artist, a florist, a restauranteur, designer, entrepreneur, father, and so much more, but most of all he is an inspiration. Joost's projects over the years have continued to capture our imagination about better ways in which we could be living in this world. Whether that's through zero waste restaurants, completely rethinking building designs, or integrating food and living systems, Joost's projects are known for their incredible impact and sheer audacity. One of most recent projects was Future Food System in the Fed Square; a zero-waste, sustainably built and operated building in the heart of Melbourne CBD which grew its own food on site for the chefs that inhabited it and cooked there, and it was fucking EPIC. If you didn't get a chance to see it or hear much about it, you're in luck, because his documentary, ‘Greenhouse by Joost' is out this week in cinemas across the country, which you should definitely check out. In this conversation we talk about a whole lot of topics including Joost's inspirations for his work, his stories from travelling the world, the impacts of the modern world on human health, the idea that technology will save us, our human tendencies towards comfort and convenience, and so much more. But the essence of this conversation, and what all of Joost's projects show, is that we don't have to wait for, or demand other people to, change. In Joost's words: “No revolution started with a politician”. If we want to create a better world, we need to be better. And it's not only possible; it's the only way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joost Bakker talks about dismantling the Future Food System strucutre at Fed Square and moving it to Heronswood on the Mornington Peninsula; Noah Crowcroft, Executive Chef at Rice Paper Scissors, talks about the City and Fitzroy restaurants he shapes and runs;  and John from the Queen Victorian Market provides a fresh produce update.

AFL great Neale Daniher might not be able to speak but he summoned up all his courage to lead thousands of supporters from Fed Square to the ‘G for the return of the much loved Big Freeze fundraiser.  Former tennis star Jelena Dokic has revealed she tried to take her life sharing the confession of her darkest moments online in the hope of encouraging others to seek help.  Victorian police spent more than 20,000 hours off the beat in the last year, instead being forced to transfer mental health patients to help alleviate pressure on exhausted paramedics.   After a two-year absence, flu season is back with a vengeance and those being hardest hit are young Australians, from birth up to age 19.  For updates and breaking news throughout the day, take out a subscription at herald sun.com.au  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This can be seen in their partnership with the Renewal Workshop, which is a part of their circularity mapping program that aims to reduce the amount of textiles going to landfill.This opens the discussion to Kathmandu's B Corp status and their positive workplace culture initiatives. We also discuss the impact that the return of travelling and exploring nature after COVID lockdowns has had on their business and get an insight into the name change from Kathmandu Holdings to KMD Brands, which hosts the major outdoor brands Ripcurl, Oboz and Kathmandu.We wrap up by looking at the plans for Kathmandu in 2022 which aims to build upon the brand and launch internationally in France, Germany, Canada and the UK in September.------------------------------Ragtrader Radio is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Ragtrader, owned and published by Yaffa Media.The views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of Ragtrader, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.

“Food, for me, is a constant pleasure,” says Nigella Lawson. “I like to think greedily about it, reflect deeply on it, learn from it; it provides comfort, inspiration, meaning and beauty as well as sustenance and structure.” This engagement, this depth of feeling might well be what makes the difference between someone being a keen observer of some tasty things and the author of some very good recipes, and that person being a phenomenon in publishing, an internationally successful broadcaster, and a single-word synonym for good food, good taste and good times: Nigella. It was with great pleasure that Melbourne Food & Wine Festival had Nigella Lawson to lunch at Fed Square in March 2022 and, over three courses and a conversation with her old friend Matt Preston, explored her challenges of the pandemic, the wonders of cooking for one, and the joys of getting out again into the wider world. After all, as Nigella says, “Melbourne is the best medicine”. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interviews with architectural historians Derham Groves and Seamus O'Hanlon. Monuments for the masses, episode 2 of the podcast series Look history in the eye explores the reasons why Melbourne was desperate for a landmark in the 1970s and where it all went wrong. Melbourne loves to look back and laugh at the kitschy ideas that were submitted in the Landmark Competition. But the archives tell a different story, one where world-famous architects and artists were let down by a process too idealistic to ever succeed.Presented by Natasha Cantwell and Public Record Office Victoria.This podcast is produced by Public Record Office Victoria the archive of the state government of Victoria.
