 Acknowledgement of Country// Save Cohealth Rally speeches, Sunday 26th April, Collingwood Cohealth. The rally demands that Labor release the independent review findings that they have had for almost two months, announce a rescue package to save more that 12,500 people who are going to lose access to critical health services and flood emergency departments. We hear from patients, families, cohealth workers, Yarra City coucillors, union delegates, on why this can not happen. This intersects with demolition of public housing, proposed cuts to the NDIS, the cost of living crisis where emergency departments are reporting a resurgence of presentations of scurvy (severe, prolonged vitamin & nutrient deficiency). Cohealth still plans to close its Collingwood, Fitzroy, and Kensington services in July. Follow the campaign via instagram.com/socialistsinhealthcare/ //We are joined by Asylum Seeker Resource Centre deputy CEO Jana Favero to discuss the coalition's widely criticised and overtly racist immigration plan. Announced on the 14th of this month, the proposed immigration policy employs sensationalist language and baseless fear mongering to reinforce white nationalist values within so-called Australia's already prejudicial immigration processes. Jana Favero has worked at the ASRC for 14 years, currently serving as the Head of Systemic Change and leading ASRC's political engagement as a trusted expert on asylum and refugee policy.//Noel Lim, CEO of Anika Legal, speaks with us about the release this week of a new report commissioned by Better Renting, Anika Legal and the Consumer Policy Research Centre which highlights perceptions of rental housing stability and needs for reform in Australia. The report, Essential Homes: Why renting is an essential service, argues that governments should treat renting as an essential service, and includes recommendations to strengthen rules around affordability, stability and housing quality. Anika Legal is a free, online legal service providing support to Victorian renters.//We replay a segment of 3CR's Radio FILEF program's International Women's Day special, featuring a round-table discussion between FILEF members Hanna, Margherita, Renata and Lorella.

Proposed mobile phone ban for detainees unnecessary, adds to trauma The Migration Amendment (prohibiting items in immigration detention facilities) Bill 2020 would allow the Minister to deem mobile phones and other internet devices “prohibited items” and grant staff new powers to search detainees without a warrant and allow strip searches and detector dogs within the centres. Groups like Amnesty International, The Australian Medical Association and the Australian Human Rigts Commission have raised concerns about the Bill and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is conducting a campaign to prevent the Bill passing the Senate. Jana Favero is the Director of Campaigns at the ASRC. We discuss how the measures contained in the Bill would affect people currently in and outside detention, the impact of Covid-19 on the people they're seeing at the ASRC and the September Hope Appeal to support the opening of a new community centre in Dandenong.  Myanmar's Rohingya GenocideMost of us remember the images on our television screens in 2017, of the Rohingya people fleeing from Myanmar to Bangladesh in the face of the extreme violence against them by the Myanmar military and civilians. Dr Ronan Lee is a visiting scholar at Queen Mary University of London’s International State Crime Initiative. He conducted in-depth interviews with Rohingya people during his PhD research and his book, Myanmar’s Rohingya Genocide: Identity, History and Hate Speech, published by Bloomsbury this month, draws on that research. Ronan discusses the history of the Rohingya people, how their citizenship rights deteriorated from 1962 and the genocide case against Myanmar in the International Court of Justice. We also look at concerns about Australia's training of Myanmar military, a matter raised with Foreign Minister Marise Payne by Human Rights Watch in February this year. See Human Rights Watch press release here. Also check out the 3CR Thursday Breakfast podcast for September 3rd to hear a conversation with JN Joniad, a Rohingya refugee and journalist presently living in Jakarta, Indonesia.
