Podcasts about myall creek

With special guest: Mark Tedeschi KC AM… in conversation with Bill Kable Our guest today is the well-known former Crown Prosecutor for New South Wales and author of Murder at Myall Creek, Mark Tedeschi. Mark has written a deeply moving account of the massacre of 28 Aboriginal men, women and children in 1838 which led to a trial that defined the nation of Australia. If the law of the land in Australia was to have any credibility, if the principle is that we are all equal before the law, then this is a watershed case. At the time of the massacre it was only 50 years since Captain Arthur Phillip and his first fleet arrived in Australia yet the inhabitants of the country for the previous 60,000 years were under threat of genocide from the new arrivals. There were many in the community who were sympathetic to all Aboriginal killers and this was expressed in the editorials of the major newspapers such as The Sydney Herald (before it added “Morning” to its masthead). Against this background there were some heroes that stood up against the general view of the free settlers, the squatters, the military, the emancipists, the newspapers and even the convict population which still amounted to 36% of the population. Principal among these was John H Plunkett who as Attorney-General at the time had the duty to prosecute the eleven convicts and former convicts who were put on trial for murder. Podcast (mp3)

The massacre of 28 Aboriginal people in 1838 was the first and only time in Australia when white people were arrested, charged and prosecuted for the mass killing of First Nations people. Those people killed at Myall Creek Station in northern NSW were women, children and elderly men known as Wirrayaraay, a tribal clan of the Gamilaraay nation. But while some publications held the perpetrators to account, our papers did not. 185 years on, The Sydney Morning Herald confronts the brutality of its own coverage of the Myall Creek massacre and two subsequent trials.  Today, editor of The Sydney Morning Herald Bevan Shields, columnist Peter FitzSimons and chief reporter Jordan Baker on attempting to right the wrongs of the past.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 *Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and discussion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died. First up on today's program, Marisa speaks with Pamela Curr, longtime advocate of refugees and asylum seekers, condemning the disgusting display outside Victoria's Parliament on Saturday, where neo-nazis dressed in black held an anti-immigration rally, and were met with a large counter-protest. They discuss some of the appalling media coverage demonising these anti-fascist protestors, and the right's creation of division in Australia's political landscape.  Each year, hundreds of people around the country gather at Myall Creek on the June long weekend to commemorate the premeditated and unprovoked massacre of Wirrayaraay women, children and older men by a group of 12 stockmen on Myall Creek Station on June 10, 1838. Marisa interviews Keith Munro, Gomeroi co-chair of the Friends of Myall Creek committee (and newly-appointed Director of First Nations Art and Cultures at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia) about their upcoming memorial commemoration of the massacre, held yearly since 2000 over the June long weekend, and other events they have planned for the weekend. He also discusses healing, memory, truth-telling, and what makes Myall Creek unique in our colonial history. See the full list of Friends of Myall Creek events this Friday 9th - Sunday 11th June here.  Last up on the show, Marisa invites Cheryl Axleby (Co-Chair of Change the Record) to discuss the ACT Government's delays in raising the age to 14, defying advice from Aboriginal, legal and human rights organisations, and how it is too little too late - risking exposing an entire generation of children to the quicksand of this country's punitive and discriminatory criminal legal system. They also talk about the need for Aboriginal-led design and delivery of culturally appropriate diversionary programs to break the intergeneral cycle of incarceration for our younger generations. Head to www.3cr.org.au/dointime for full access to links and previous podcasts.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and discussion of Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander people who have died Each year, hundreds of people around the country gather on the Sunday of the June long weekend to commemorate the unprovoked massacre of at least 28 Wirrayaraay women, children and older men by a group of stockmen on Myall Creek Station on June 10, 1838. The Myall Creek Memorial was constructed near Bingara on 10 June 2000 by a group of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people working together in an act of reconciliation. In 2008 the massacre site and memorial were included on the national heritage register, and also received NSW state heritage listing in 2010.  This week, Marisa presents part two of a yearly commemoration of the Myall Creek Massacre, interviewing Keith Munro, Aboriginal co-chair of the Friends of Myall Creek Memorial National Committee, and grandson of Uncle Lyall Munro Snr, to continue last week's discussion with co-chair Cecilia Blackwell and talk about their special upcoming annual memorial event. Keith gives listeners a comprehensive picture of the events and legal proceedings surrounding the massacre, including jurors openly admitting bias, and remembers the work of lawyer George Plunkett, without whom 7 of the 11 initially acquitted perpetrators would not have been re-trialed and convicted.  He notes that despite continued colonial violence with widespread horrific massacres before and after the event, it shines through as a time in history where good people did fight for justice, and discusses the legacy of the Myall Creek memorial services in bringing together decendants of both perpetrators and survivors of the massacre, allowing everyone to remember history truthfully in a step to heal intergenerational trauma and educate the wider community.  Alongside the memorial event this year, there will also be a community concert Myall Creek Rocks the Roxy taking place 3-5pm Saturday June 11 at the Roxy Theatre in Bingara.  Memorial special guest speaker, local historian and author James Wilson-Miller, is also delivering a special program Yarning About Truth-Telling on Friday June 10 at the University of New England in Armidale. The memorial event will take place on Sunday 12th June 2022, at the memorial site located roughly mid-way between Bingara and Delungra - for more information, or to become a member of Friends of Myall Creek, you can go to their website www.myallcreek.org   Later in the Show, Marisa interviews Ellen Maybery, Senior Lawyer at Environmental Justice Australia, about a controversial amendment they are urging the Andrews government to withdraw from parliament as it will see draconian law that criminalises peaceful protest.  The Sustainable Forest Timber Amendment (Timber Harvesting Safety Zones Bill) 2022 was introduced by the Victorian Government last week, and would see protesters who are attempting to prevent native forest logging in Victoria face fines of up to $21,000 or 12 months in jail.  Ellen comes on the show to discuss that in the face of recent catastrophic bushfires and devastating climate end ecosystem collapse, the protest of illegal logging should be protected. Instead, VicForests is facing 9 court cases brought by the community - where instead of regulating the logging indistry and cracking down on illegal logging, the Victorian Government is trying to introduce amendments to current laws to create tougher penalties for protesters, citing health and safety concerns.  

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and discussion of Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander people who have died This week, Marisa presents part one of a yearly commemoration of the Myall Creek Massacre, interviewing Cecilia Blackwell, non-Aboriginal co-chair of the Friends of Myall Creek National Committee alongside Keith Munro, who will be joining the program next Monday 30th May.  Each year, people around the country gather on the June long weekend to commemorate the unprovoked massacre of at least 28 Wirrayaraay women, children and older men by a group of stockmen on Myall Creek Station on June 10, 1838. The Myall Creek Memorial, constructed near Bingara was constructed on 10 June 2000 by a group of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people working together in an act of reconciliation. In 2008 the massacre site and memorial were included on the national heritage register and also received NSW state heritage listing in 2010.  Cecilia discusses the brutal story of the Myall Creek Massacre and its aftermath, the history of commemorations and memorials, and the importance of representative descendants of both perpetrators and survivors acting in yearly reconciliation events, with an emphasis on truthfully remembering the past, reaching out to community and building a shared vision of the future. To find out more about the fundraiser and memorial events in Myall Creek on the 11th & 12th June 2022, or to become a member of Friends of Myall Creek, you can go to their website www.myallcreek.org  Later in the program, Marisa speaks with Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition about a tragic further suicide at Villawood Detention Centre, where a New Zealand woman in her early 30s took her own life 22nd May 2022, following at least two other suicides this year (and a large number of attempted suicides) in Villawood and other detention centres. He discusses this epidemic of self-harm and suicides within the detention regime in so-called Australia and the familiar story of distress and abuse of the hands of Serco guards, calling for an inquiry into the lack of oversight, timelines, and procedures involved in immigration detention. Also discussed are the large number of people from New Zealand in immigration detention and other temporary visa holders who do not necessarily fall under the umbrella of refugees or asylum seekers, but are commonly deported or detained under existing regulations of section 501 (and how many are unaware of the visa cancellation laws that put 80% of people in immigration detention through visa cancellations), and the struggle ahead in securing rights for all people in this system under the new Labor government, including those on bridging or expired visas and those already in detention, here and offshore.  Lastly, Marisa speaks with Brett Collins from Justice Action about a recent partial win in the SA supreme court, allowing the distribution of the JUST US newspaper to prisoners in the state. JUST US, running since 2004, is the only newspaper for people in detention that allow prisoners to read a statement from state and federal political parties in regards to prison issues ahead of elections. Since this win, one newspaper will be made available per prisoner in detention nationwide.  This is not a complete win, however, with many redactions including an advertisements for the Justice Reform Initiative for the words "justice is failing" and also "Jailbreak Prison Radio", and perhaps most alarmingly, contacts for NGO supports available to prisoners. The struggle continues. If you would like a copy of the JustUs newspaper, you can send a request to Justice Action at PO Box 386 Broadway NSW 2007. To donate to Doin' Time for 3CR's annual Radiothon fundraiser, you can make a tax-deductible donation on 3cr.org.au/donate, or call (03) 9419 8377 during business hours.  Our target this year is $850 - Keep Community Strong and please donate if you can!

“In truth telling, the first people of Sydney who were the first ones to be impacted by the first contact are the last ones to be addressed.” – Leanne Tobin

“The Myall Creek Massacre is unique because it is the only time when non-Aboriginal people were tried in a court of law; seven were re-tried a second time, found guilty and hanged. It was the first time that light was shed within the colonial narrative of massacre history.” - Keith Munro Co-Chair of the  National Committee of Friends of Myall Creek.

On Let’s Talk today, Boe had a yarn to Keith … Continued

In episode Twenty One Boe yarn with Professor Lyndall Ryan from the University of Newcastle in NSW. On the 10th of June 1838 just outside of what is now Bingara in Northern NSW a group of 10 convict stockmen, led by a squatter, rode onto Myall Creek Station and brutally massacred about 28 Gamilaraay People, mostly older men, women and children in an unprovoked and premeditated attempt to get them off land. This event is now known as the Myall Creek Massacre and, whilst only one of many Massacres committed across Australia over a 100 year period, it's notable now for it was the first time that the perpetrators of such crimes were brought to justice. Following a second trial, seven men were executed. You would think after this trial the Killing of Aboriginal people would stop but in fact the killings continued.

It's an hour and a half before sunset on a Sunday afternoon in June, 1838. A group of Indigenous Australians, the Wirrayaraay people, are cooking their evening meal. As the day nears its end, things are quiet. Calm.  They're at Myall Creek Station, in north western NSW, between the towns of Bingara and Delungra. They've been camped there for a few weeks, seeking safety and protection from stockmen who have been roaming the district, killing any Indigenous person they could find.  And then they hear something. A rumbling. The sound of horses hooves. Eleven men can be seen in the distance, galloping towards them at speed.  The women grab their children. Two young boys run and dive into a nearby creek. The rest of the group - about 28 in total - scramble towards the huts, hoping that the white men would protect them. Instead, they were tied up, and led away from the huts.  What happened would come to be known as the Myall Creek massacre - a crime Australians must never, ever forget.   CREDITS Guest: Mark Tedeschi QC Host: Jessie Stephens Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Leah Porges CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

Following Leanne's experience of watching Hanna Gadsby's Nanette on Netflix, we spent the whole episode talking about this amazingly unique comedy show and Hannah's brilliant performance.Leanne proposed that standup comedy show should be considered an art form too. She believed Nanette had all qualities to be viewed as a piece of highbrow art. Leanne broke down the show into moments and actions from which a discussion was elaborated between us. Julie continued the topic on Nanette. As a person from the same city that Hanna is from, Julie suggested that Hannah blurred the boundary between comedy show and theatre works. By using the knowledge about Myall Creek massacre, Julie raised the question if the art was competent in assisting people of current generation to deal with trauma, especially the ones inherited from previous generations, and in producing memorials. This episode presented a heated, vibrant and smooth conversation that could be related to many listeners.In the end, Julie revealed a book that she was finishing up for Lost Rocks series. It was the project including 50 Tasmanian people to write about rock. The book is called 'Shale'. it will be out in October.Leanne's exhibition titled Subterraneans will be held at the Dirty Dozen (in Campbell Arcade, underground commuter walkway from Flinders street Station to Degraves Street). It is curated by Leanne and shows twelve artists who have studied at MFA course at RMIT. The show opens to the public from 20/7 - 24/8. The opening will be from 7-9pm on Friday 20/7.
