Today's guest is Zack Schofield - one of the lead organisers and who Murdoch media describe as a prominent member of the climate action and activist group Rising Tide. Now I know protest and civil disobedience isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I suspect just about everybody listening to this show has joined one at some point - whether the school strike for climate, one seeking justice regarding Indigenous deaths in custody, respect for women and an end to gender based violence, or maybe it was the Rising Tide prostevial in Newcastle in November last year or in 2023, they certainly have a role to play. From just being able to capture the energy and zeal of a group through to being a deliberate effort to raise anger and demand a response. Personally I think they are important, and as Zack points out in this chat so much social and political change over time has been born out of and the result of acts of protest, boycott and strikes. At the same time though, I appreciate they are not everyone's cup of tea.During a planetary crisis, when fossil fuel projects continue to be approved for expansion here and abroad - which is against the science and I would have thought contradicts climate commitments and the actual decarbonisation of our economies and societies - I wanted to bring Zack's experiences and stories to you today and to share more about what drives him, what Rising Tide is about and how to make sense of and discern the aspirations and demands of such entities in the grand tapestry of meaningful and effective action.I was in a near constant state of awe speaking with Zach about his and the efforts of other activists out there. This is an emergency, and while there is a need and space for the work many do in corporates or start ups or academic research or policy development and implementation, increasingly I think there is a space for a movement of direct action to hamper and restrict the fundamental cause of the climate crisis - generating emissions.Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram. Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

 *Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and of deaths in custody.This episode of Doin Time is a yearly dedication and tribute to the much-loved honourable Uncle Ray Jackson (27 March 1941 – 23 April 2015). Uncle Ray was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for aboriginal people and much more. First up on the program, we hear from Julie Tongs, proud Wiradjuri woman, campaigner, and CEO of Winnunga, an organisation which provides culturally safe environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the ACT and surrounding regions to access a broad scope of health and community services. She discusses culturally safe practises for Aboriginal people in prisons, in an follow-up interview of Doin' Time's broadcast of a recent VALS' Prison Healthcare Webinar, on which Julie featured. She discusses her 30+ years of experience fiercely advocating for the expansion of holistic community-controlled Aboriginal primary health services and organisations.  Next up on the program, Marisa interviews Uncle Ray's daughter, Carolyn Jackson, remembering her father and his legacy, work and the ongoing fight for justice. Doin' Time apologises for the technical difficulties encountered during this interview. Lastly, Marisa speaks with Joseph Pugliese, Uncle Ray's friend and longtime activist, also co-editor of Mapping Deathscapes: Digital Geographies of Racial and Border Violence. Discussion ranges from from his work on the waterfront in the trade union sector, to battles in Indigenous Deaths in Custody, legislating family attendance for autopsies to ensure ceremony and respect. Joseph provides the historical context to Uncle Ray's life and work, and his warmth, vision and determination in battling for all victims of violence and injustice, and the strength of his legacy which lives on today.

In Sydney of 1960, a man sings acappella to workers on a building site. In Sydney of 2020, a woman sings acappella to TV cameras. In Sydney of 2022, a man wheels his kayak through a drain under a highway.  This week we're looking at one of the greatest songs of the 20th century, "Ol' Man River", as sung by Frank Sinatra in TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (1946). Racially, socially and environmentally, this masterpiece of songwriting has meant many different things to different people at different times. But one thing is for certain: it has no possible conservative reading. In the first half of this episode we also dig into other songs from the Jerome Kern songbook as featured in the film. Note: This episode features a discussion of Indigenous deaths in custody - in particular, that of Tanya Day. September 8th is Wear Pink for Tanya Day, as organised by her family.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and discussion of Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander people who have died This special Doin' Time program is the first part in a shining yearly tribute to the much-loved and honourable Uncle Ray Jackson, who died on April 23 2015. Uncle Ray was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for Aboriginal people affected by the so-called criminal justice system, and all people affected by state violence. A vocal and knowledgeable Deaths in Custody campaigner, and long-time President of the Indigenous Social Justice Association (ISJA), Uncle Ray received the prestigious French Human Rights medal, with the Australian state (despite its long history of atrocities) never allocating an award to him. Part two of this tribute with Uncle Ray's daughter Carolyn Jackson and Professor Bronwyn Carlson will air in two weeks, on May 9 2022. Marisa speaks today with Joseph Pugliese, Uncle Ray's friend, longtime activist, and editor of Doin Time's recently featured book, Mapping Deathscapes: Digital Geographies of racial and Border Violence. Joseph gives a comprehensive introduction and historical context to Ray's life and work, beginning with his trauma as a child of the stolen generations driving his burning desire to achieve social justice. Joseph highlights Uncle Ray's extraordinary grasp and memory of complex legal cases, but importantly also the profound and heartfelt understanding he had for the human dimension of each and every case which makes his activism and legacy so powerful. Amongst the many topics discussed are his work in legislating family attendance for autopsies of Indigenous Deaths in Custody to ensure ceremony and respect, his strong history of trade unionism in Sydney, and his vast internationalist view of activism, from connecting with First Nations activists in North America to denouncing Israeli state violence in occupied Palestine. Tune in on Monday May 9 for part two of this special Uncle Ray Jackson Memorial program.

Thirty years after the 1991 Royal Commission into Indigenous deaths in custody, many of its recommendations have yet to be implemented.

“I really get that strength from Country and from knowing that those stories are still there and you're supposed to be telling those stories, and there's something bigger speaking to you and speaking for you. I really get that sense of purpose from that.” – Amy McQuire The racial justice movement gained momentum around the world in 2020, but what happened in Australia? Across the anglosphere, statues toppled, mastheads faced a reckoning and protests on the streets met conversations about representation and accountability. Yet Australian newsrooms and TV screens, our cultural and media institutions, somehow missed the moment. Why are the key figures in our public sphere so bad at addressing entrenched racism, structural power and unchallenged whiteness? Journalist Amy McQuire, triple j Hack's Avani Dias and IndigenousX's Rhianna Patrick confront the white elephant in the room, with writer and broadcaster Sami Shah. Please note, this episode contains discussion of Indigenous deaths in custody and experiences of racism.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A powerful new six-part series tackling the thorny issue of racial injustice in Australia is being released on Friday.  Unheard is a collaboration between Amazon Prime Video & LADbible and it covers some difficult subjects from Indigenous deaths in custody to Islamophobia in Australia. 

NITV is airing a documentary created by Guugu Yimithirr man Dean Gibson that explores the first hand devastation of Indigenous deaths in custody.

Over 470 indigenous Australians have died since the royal commission thirty years ago. Indigenous people over-represented in our criminal justice system. They're more likely to find themselves in police lock-ups and prisons. And more at risk of dying in custody. Indigenous law professor Larissa Behrendt looks at what's behind those terrible statistics.

Over 470 indigenous Australians have died since the royal commission thirty years ago. Indigenous people over-represented in our criminal justice system. They're more likely to find themselves in police lock-ups and prisons. And more at risk of dying in custody. Indigenous law professor Larissa Behrendt looks at what's behind those terrible statistics.

There are renewed calls for the establishment of an independent body to examine all Indigenous deaths in custody following another tragic death.

With Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia on the rise, we look at parallel experiences in Canada and the US.

30 years on since the 1991 report into Indigenous deaths in custody and the preceding Royal Commission looking into the issue, we are still seeing a startlingly high number of these deaths. Since the start of March, we've seen 7 First Nations people pass away in custody. So why is this still happening and what can be done to change it?

30 years on since the 1991 report into Indigenous deaths in custody and the preceding Royal Commission looking into the issue, we are still seeing a startlingly high number of these deaths. Since the start of March, we've seen 7 First Nations people pass away in custody. So why is this still happening and what can be done to change it?

In Visible Ink is a Museum of Freedom and Tolerance endeavour that makes visible the invisible. Through sharing and amplifying stories, histories, art, conversations and projects that inspire people to see differently, it aims to make changes towards a more just world. The BLM movement transformed global consciousness in 2020, bringing questions relating to the stories we make visible in our civic and popular culture to the fore as statues and monuments around the world tumbled. In solidarity with the protests, the names of some of the hundreds of Indigenous people who have died in custody were projected on a landmark sculpture in Walyalup (Fremantle) during 2020, bringing into focus place, visibility, history and the resonance of the BLM movement in Western Australia, the state with the largest number of Indigenous deaths in custody. To launch our 2021 In Visible Ink Symposium, we convened conversations around the themes of deconstruction and reconstruction of visual and civic culture. This powerful opening conversation led by Aboriginal women and women of colour, featured a line up of amazing speakers (see bios below): Chaired by Sisonke Msimang Dr Hannah McGlade Professor Suvendrini Perera Professor Anna Arabindan Kesson Shaheen Hughes Join the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance and special guests on a multi-sensory journey as we provoke our audience to question the visibility of dominant civic and cultural landscapes and landmarks, learn how to see differently, and actively seek a fairer and more just approach to systemic racism, discrimination, incarceration and inequality.

30 years ago to the day, a royal commission into Indigenous deaths in custody handed its findings down. Since then, at least 450 more First Nations people have died while on the inside, and with at least five of those deaths recorded just last month, it's clear many of the problems of three decades ago remain. So what, if anything, has changed? Today on The Signal, we hear from those whose anguish provided the impetus for the original inquiry. Do they think anything has improved, or was the three-year-long inquiry all that time ago in vain?

In April 1991 federal court judge James Henry Muirhead handed his final report from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.

Drawing on his experiences as a child of Burmese migrants fleeing a military junta and his evolution from a naive law clerk, too shy to speak, into a lawyer whose ponytailed flamboyance and unbridled willingness to speak truth to power riled many within the legal establishment, Andrew Boe delves into cases he found unable to leave behind. These cases have shaped who he has become. Taking us from a case of traditional punishment gone wrong in the Gibson Desert to deaths in police custody on Palm Island and in Yuendumu in the Northern Territory - places where race relations are often stalled in a colonial time warp - to an isolated rural home, and the question of what is self-defence after decades of domestic abuse; to cases of children abandoned, 'stolen' and then fought over; and into prison interview rooms and courthouses around the country where Boe defended serial killers, rapists, child sex offenders, murderers as well as the odd politician - he holds fast to the premise that either every one of us is entitled to the presumption of innocence or none of us are.In this episode, Andrew joins Max Lewis to expand on 'The Truth Hurts' - explaining our misconception that the justice system is designed to find the truth, and the effect of the Black Lives Matter movement on this country's tragedy of Indigenous deaths in custody.

With the protests occurring in America and the Black Lives Matter movement it is important that we support our Indigenous brothers and sisters. There are thousands of Indigenous people living with disabilities. they not only face discrimination on the basis of their disabilities but also because of their race. Intersectionality is: The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. it is a theoretical framework for understanding how aspects of a person's social and political identities might combine to create unique modes of discrimination. Intersectionality identifies injustices that are felt by people due to a combination of factors. Why it matters: understanding intersectionality allow us to better understand inequalities so we can address them and create a more equal society there have been 432 Indigenous deaths in custody since 1991. Speaking out against systemic racism is key to promoting equality and putting an end to the unfair treatment they receive. Why it is important for Australians with disabilities to support Indigenous Peoples in their fight for equality. We as people with disabilities have similar lived experience in regard to experiencing discrimination based on our appearance. Supporting Indigenous Peoples in their fight for equality helps strengthen our communities while aiding to heal intergenerational trauma caused by colonisation. In doing so the disabled community will gain allies which will be of great help to us in our own fight for equality. How to support Indigenous Peoples in their fight for equality Attend protests if it is safe for you to do so (not high risk of COVID-19), if you do attend protests, take necessary safety precautions . socially distance, wear a face mask and wash your hands often.
