Welcome to another episode of the Monday Breakfast show, coming to you live from the studios of 3CR in so-called Fitzroy. Following the Federal Government's attempt to rush through the Migration Amendment Bill last week, Rob conducted two interviews to understand as much as possible about what it means for refugees across so-called Australia. Among other things, the bill would give a minister ‘God-like' powers to force people to comply with their deportation orders or face a minimum of 12 months in jail. The first interview is with Dr Graham Thom, Refugee Advisor for Amnesty International. We spoke about the bill's timing, and what it means for Australia's already-tarnished international reputation surrounding refugee rights. We then hear Rob's conversation with Laura John, Senior Lawyer for the Human Rights Law Centre in which the pair discussed the spate of news surrounding refugee rights in so-called Australia in recent months and how the Labor Party's position on refugees has changed since it came to power.After that we hear James McKenzie of In Ya Face speak with Queer policy expert Alastair Lawrie about the conversion practices' bill introduced in Parliament by the NSW Government in mid-March. The segment aired is an excerpt of a longer conversation, which you can listen to here. You can catch In Ya Face live from 4 till 5pm on Friday nights or listen to it anytime on the 3CR website. Following that interview Rob briefly speaks about their reflections and thoughts on Trans Day of Visibility as a proud Non-binary person.  Finally, we hear a segment from the Yeah Nah Pasaran show in which Andy and Cam speak with Dr Claudia Leeb about their book Contesting The Far-Right: A Psychoanalytic & Feminist Critical Theory Approach. This segment is also an excerpt of a longer conversation, you can listen to the full interview here. Yeah Nah Pasaran airs on Thursdays from 4:30 to 5pm. Community Announcements: Today at 6:30PM Melbourne For Palestine will be hosting an Iftar at the North Melbourne MosqueAt 6:45 The Sit Intifada will also be hosting an iftar at Parliament Gardens for those who participate in Ramadan. On Tuesday the 2nd of April there will be a community protest to shut down AW Bell, a weapons manufacturer complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.

Eps 9: In today's episode I talk with the director of Wyndham Tech School, Gail Bray. In her role Gail works with their partner secondary schools in Wyndham and Hobsons Bay to connect them with futuristic technologies and training that will prepare students for the jobs of the future.

Nearly five million residents of greater Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire are set to enter a very different world from midnight Wednesday, with a new six-week lockdown coming into effect.On Tuesday Premier Daniel Andrews reinstated stay at home restrictions across metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, to the north of the city, to take effect from 11.59pm on July 8.He announced 191 new cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday including 154 under investigation.None of the cases were detected in returned travellers in hotel quarantine in a worrying development showing the virus is established in the community.There are 772 active coronavirus cases in Victoria and 35 people are in hospital. Nine of those patients are in intensive care.THE AREAS AFFECTEDThe restricted areas are Mitchell Shire and 31 local government areas across the greater city: Banyule, Bayside, Boroondara, Brimbank, Cardinia, Casey, Darebin, Frankston, Glen Eira, Greater Dandenong, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Kingston, Knox, Manningham, Maribyrnong, Maroondah, Melbourne, Melton, Mitchell Shire, Monash, Moonee Valley, Moreland, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik, Port Phillip, Stonnington, Whitehorse, Whittlesea, Wyndham, Yarra and the Yarra Ranges."2020 has not been the year any of us wanted," Andrews said when announcing the news."Cancelled events. Plans put on pause. Uncertainty about what the future holds."And I guess that's why so many people want to pretend this is over."He stressed the stay at home direction applies to principal places of residence."That means no escaping to holiday homes," Andrews said.According to a summary of the restrictions, second places of residence outside restricted areas cannot be visited except for limited exceptions such as an emergency or maintenance, shared custody, or to stay with an intimate partner who does not live with you.The state's chief health officer Professor Brett Sutton said Victorians have got "six very difficult weeks ahead".The new directions are to continue until 11.59pm on August 19.No one in the impacted areas is allowed to have private gatherings with visitors, and public gatherings are limited to "two people or household members only"."For people who live in regional Victoria, where case numbers remain low, current restrictions will remain the same for now," Andrews said.Regional Victorians cannot enter restricted areas except for "necessary purposes" being necessary goods or services, work and education if necessary, medical care or compassionate reasons.

Hobsons Bay Coast Guard's Erik and Jack are in the studio with Nathan and Alicia for a wonderfully whacky chat about 'Get In Line'/'Big Tuna', the band's hot new double single. They also manage to touch on (takes deep breath): fishing, radio tuners, Picasso, Kanye West, prolific album writing sessions, drawing your own creative box, waiting in lines, dead doves, vegetarianism, Abbey Road's 50th Anniversary, artificially intelligent computers writing their own poppy Beach Boys songs, and more!  Originally aired Thursday 10 October 2019 on SYN.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
