It's the morning after the Voice referendum, and Emerald and Tom have a look at the results so far and what we can take from the unsuccessful campaign to enshrine indigenous recognition and a Voice into the Australian constitution.

Dark Emerald rises. Emerald and Tom reconvene from the other sides of the world (so please excuse some imperfect sound) to watch as The Spirit of Australia, Qantas, flies straight into turbulence.

Next a dive into what the conference offered for education, and Penny's campaign to fix the absurd situation of private schools getting more taxpayer funding than state.

Did she exploit queer culture? Is she a feminist icon? Is she slut shamed over her relationships? Is she an eco-terrorist? Can you be a socialist and a Taylor fan?

Featuring the latest in activist campaigns and struggles against oppression fighting for a better world with anti-capitalist analysis on current affairs and international politics. Presenters: Jacob Andrewartha & Zane AlcornNewsreportsMUA Sydney branch supports Extinction Rebellion blockade of fuel import terminal"Home to Biloela" campaign ramps up with petitions gaining huge numbers of signatures and rallies organised in major cities after Australian born toddler Tharunicaa medically evacuated to Perth with her mother Priya, after untreated pneumonia developed into life threatening sepsis. Racist prison camp staff repeatedly denied Tharunicaa access to the Christmas Island hospital over a ten 10 period despite symptoms including severe vomiting, diarrhea and a temperature as high as 40 degrees. Activists are campaigning for the family to be released from Australia's draconian concentration camp system and returned to the Queensland town of Biloela where they had been living.Calls mount for Australia to agree to covid 19 patent waiver. A rally held at the offoces of the Department of Foreign Affairs and trade handed over a petition signed by 50,000 people calling for Australia to support the waiver. The petition and rally were organised by a coalition including Australian Fair trade and Investment Network (AFTINET), Amnesty International Australia, GetUp!, NSW Nurses and Midwives Association, Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA, Public Services International and the Humanism ProjectVictorian Greens Leader Sam Ratnam announced as a speaker at upcoming Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) "Victorian Political Training Seminar". The announcement is disappointing as AUJS is, and always has been, an openly Zionist Group dedicated to sanitising and promoting the actions of the Israeli state, most recently helping organise a pro Israel rally on May 23 while the bodies of Palestinians were still being pulled from the rubble in Gaza. By attending the event Ratnam and the Victorian Greens legitimise zionist ideologues and cheapen and undermine the solidarity work of Greens activists and MPs past and present - like Senators Janet Rice and Mehreen Faruqi and former senator Lee Rhiannon - at a time when such solidarity is crucial and needs to be heard loud, clear and united across the globe.Interviews and DiscussionsRecording of Haider Eid, a lecturer at the Al Aqsa university in Gaza, from the recent Green Left Forum "Why Israel is an apartheid state". Eid is the author ot the book "Countering the Palestinian Nakba: One state for all" and argues that the only way to find an enduring solution to the Palestinian question is for Palestiniants to be able to vote in elections for the government that effectively contrals Palestine - i.e. Israel. The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign and other forms of international pressure and solidarity will be crucial in helping Palestinians win an end to their subjugation at the hands of an apartheid state. You can listen to the individual talk here.Jacob and Zane speak with Sydney based community solidarity activist Leonor Luna-Zamora about the Peruvian elections which have seen socialist candidate Pedro Castillo win by a narrow margin against far right candidate Keiko Fujimori. The states are high for Fujimori who faces possible imprisonment if she loses in relation to corruption charges and involvement in extrajudicial killings that occurred when her father was president of Peru from 1990-2000. You can listen to the individual interview here.     

Talking to SBS Urdu, she says that while the current Australian government speaks about the human rights abuses in China, but when it comes to India, very serious human rights abuses are occurring and not a word from the government.Click the speaker button to listen to the podcast.

Former Greens senator and lifelong campaigner Lee Rhiannon has been fighting on the Left since she was fifteen years old.  Almost a year on from stepping down as a Senator for NSW after losing preselection to Mehreen Faruqi, Lee talks to me about being spied on by ASIO from the age of seven, being raised by socialist parents, the state of the union movement, just how badly neoliberalism has knocked around the Left, the tensions that continue to frustrate the Australian Greens and how the party can find a better way to reach out to working people.

For six years Syria has been engulfed in a terrible war. The original democratic revolt against the Assad regime has given way to a brutal multi-sided conflict. But in the midst of this carnage, under threat on all sides, the freedom struggle in Rojava is an inspiring beacon of hope. Initially a struggle for Kurdish self-determination, the liberation forces have established the Democratic Federal System of Northern Syria as a model for a multi-ethnic, federal and socially just Syria.Today in northern Syria, a radical commune-style democracy is being constructed. Unprecedented efforts are being made to empower women. A new society is being created where all the various ethnic and religious groups that form the incredibly rich Syrian social mosaic can live together in peace and cooperation.
