Simon discusses historical and contemporary racial discrimination and the place of the Khoi and San people in South Africa in the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on March 21st in commemoration of the Sharpeville Massacre, where police killed 69 people demonstrating against racist apartheid “pass laws” in apartheid South Africa.

Today the 5th of may 2025 marks the opening to the 'Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience' exhibit at the Heide Museum of Modern Art, situated on the Birrarung. The exhibit presents works by Vernon Ah Kee, Gordon Bennett, Destiny Deacon, Julie Dowling, Jimmy Pike and Judy Watson addressing the overrepresentation of First Nations people within the carceral system and the crisis of deaths in custody here in so-called australia. These works are shown alongside pieces created by former and currently incarcerated First Nations people via the Torch program to bolster connection to Country and culture. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated than their non-Indigenous counterparts, while Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 27 times more likely to be incarcerated compared to non-Indigenous women despite the fact that First Nations people make up less than 4% of the continent's population. 65% of all young people in detention across the continent are Indigenous, despite only making 6.6% of the  total population of 10 - 17 year olds. Monday Breakfast was joined by Barkindji man Kent Morris, who is the curator of the 'Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience' exhibit as well as the Founder and Creative Director of the Torch Program.Songs: 'Blak Matriarchy'  - BARKAA'Letter to the Martyrs' - Cacique97' 'Natural Woman' - Kaiit

Eden истражувач вели дека повеќето Австралијци (50 отсто од луѓето во секоја јурисдикција) ја поддржуваат употребата на надгледувани простории за инјектирање дрога што покажува силна поддршка за ваква мерка за јавното здравје. Соба за инјектирање дрога функционира во King's Cross во Сиднеј во последните 23 години, а сличен објект во North Richmond во Мелбурн функционира од 2018 година.

A researcher says most Australians support the use of supervised drug injecting rooms with more than 50 per cent of people in every jurisdiction backing the public health measure. A drug injecting room has operated at Kings Cross in Sydney for the past 23 years and a similar facility at North Richmond in Melbourne has been operating since 2018. But efforts to set up additional centres have been problematic. - ایک نئی تحقیق بتاتی ہے کہ آسٹریلیا میں لوگوں کی بہت بڑی تعداد اس بات کی حمایت کرتی ہے کہ ماہرین کی زیر نگرانی منشیات انجیکٹنگ مراکز کی تعداد بڑھنی چاہیے تاکہ صحت عامہ کو لاحق خطرات کا راستہ روکا جاسکے۔

A researcher says most Australians support the use of supervised drug injecting rooms with more than 50 per cent of people in every jurisdiction backing the public health measure. A drug injecting room has operated at Kings Cross in Sydney for the past 23 years and a similar facility at North Richmond in Melbourne has been operating since 2018. But efforts to set up additional centres have been problematic.

Melbourne's Medically Supervised Injecting Room (MSIR) in North Richmond opened in 2018. This was the result of a years-long grassroots campaign led by the local community, fed up with constant overdoses in the streets. The MSIR operates on principles of harm reduction which simply work and urgently need to be applied throughout the world. The stigma around drug use, and the criminalising of drug users, must end - and that begins with us. In 1955, Frank Sinatra made a historically significant contribution to the destigmatisation of drug use on film in Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm. In a depiction that is in many ways still radical today, Sinatra's character of Frankie Machine is a regular person who is trying his best to shake off a heroin addiction but is simply failed by a society that does not have the means to support him. A compelling and empathetic performance by Sinatra, and subject matter which openly defied the Production Code of its era, made this a memorable classic for many and contributed to a better world. This week on SUDDENLY, friend of the show Spike Vincent joins us to watch The Man With the Golden Arm, sharing his thoughts and personal experiences. Meanwhile, Rabia has been reading up on the MSIR and reports back on the experience of touring the facility to see what goes on first-hand. As a thematic wild card, we also watched an Australian DVD of the film called A Night at the Cinema with extra footage intended to replicate the experience of seeing this film in 1955 in a cinema in specifically Castlemaine, Victoria - including "God Save the Queen", a newsreel, cartoon, local ads etc - which leads us to compelling footage of the 1955 Maitland floods. Plus, an update on Bobby Long.

The rise of Oliver Anthony with his hit song, "Rich Men of North Richmond," was a prime example of the anger of the average American with what goes by the mainstream. It is evident that such tyrannical attempts to shape our imagination are not bringing in the ratings they thought they would. Thus, alternative voices have risen from the music, media, and movie industries. Netflix no longer holds the monopoly on entertainment. In this episode, I speak with Loor.TV CEO and Founder, Marcus Pittman, about their project to bring a new standard to Christian movies. Christians shouldn't suck at their efforts, and Loor is a worthy attempt to provide quality movie entertainment.

Great to catch up with a highly qualified lady who couldn't imagine a life without horses. Despite holding a Bachelor Of Arts and a Degree in Accountancy, Natalie Jarvis opted for a career as a horse trainer. Natalie and husband Luke are currently running a successful training operation at the beautiful South Coast hamlet of Moruya. She talks about Thorotek Racing's headquarters. Natalie says she likes to keep all horses in an outside environment. She talks about the grass track facilities, beach and river swimming availability and the peaceful bushland riding trails. The trainer acknowledges husband Luke's role in the operation. She'll long remember the thrill of producing four winners on Moruya Cup day with 130 stable clients in attendance. Natalie takes us back to childhood days at Terrey Hills where she and sister Stephanie were riding horses from an early age. She talks of her parents who had little interest in horses as their daughters were growing up. Today they're keen followers of Natalie's horses. Natalie looks back on her two stints at Sydney's Macquarie University. She remembers her two years in the Racing NSW Finance Dept. Natalie recalls her visit to an open day at the Hawkesbury TAFE equine management school and the good advice she received. She was directed to Muskoka Farm at Gunderman  where her education with thoroughbreds began. She remembers a learning stint at the Hawkesbury Valley stables of trainer Warwick Hailes. Natalie fondly recalls the experience gained at the Ingham's Belmont Park spelling and pre-training farm at North Richmond. During this time she met her future husband. She looks back on the horses who got her training career under way. Natalie talks of her regular use of the Inglis Digital platform and the handy horses she's been able to source. The trainer explains that she and Luke are prepared to travel to distant meetings within a five hour time frame. Natalie acknowledges the jockeys with whom she's enjoyed successful associations. She's still riding the lion's share of trackwork herself. Had racing not gotten in the way, this lady would probably be running a busy accountancy firm by now. Like so many before her, Natalie Jarvis is totally “hooked” on racing.

The Medically Supervised Injecting Room in North Richmond is a space where people who inject drugs can do so under medical supervision. This means that they can inject their drug without judgment and with access to health care and social support. The facility was opened in 2018 as a two-year trial and has been operating since then. On 7 March 2023, Premier Daniel Andrews announced that legislation would be introduced to the Victorian Parliament to make the facility permanent. In this epidode of Living Free, Ann chats with Dr Nico Clark, the medical director of the Medically Supervised Injecting Room about the services it provides to its clients and the importance of a non-judgemental, stigma-free environment to the well-being of those dependent on injectible drugs. Dr Clark is also the Head of the Addiction Medicine Service at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. 

The US news media was shaken up by the firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and Don Lemon from CNN. Back in Australia PM Albo had a tone-deaf Saturday by funding two stadiums in then flying to Kyle Sandilands wedding. I look at all the fallouts on Tim's News Explosion. Rumour has it that Victorian Premier Dan Andrews will retire mid-year. But Dan is not done building his legacy with legislation before parliament to make the North Richmond drug injecting room permanent. Consultation begins on a proposed second drug injection in the CBD near Flinders Street Station. The age of criminal responsibility will be lifted to 12 by the end of 2024 and to 14 by the end of 2027. There was a ratepayers' protest outside the latest Monash Council meeting over a planned drag queen storytime at Oakleigh Library on May 19 for IDAHOBIT Day. The Municipal Association of Victoria says that council meetings that are attended by activists should be moved online. The indoctrination appears to be working with a recent survey finding that one-third of Australia's youth identifying as LGBT. On Saturday Anthony Albanese first travelled to Hobart to announce $240 million in federal funding for a new AFL stadium at Macquarie Point, then to Launceston with $65 million for an upgrade to York Park as part of an AFL extortion operation so there will be a team based in Tasmania. Albo then flew back to Sydney to attend Kyle Sandilands and Tegan Kynaston $1 million wedding. Kyle's groomsmen were nightclub identity John Ibrahim and convicted drug trafficker Simon Main. Labor Governments have attacked the Greens for opposing more private housing development. The Greens want a national rent freeze and seem to only support government-owned and built housing. More housing needs to be built as 650,000 migrants are coming over the next two years. Home Affairs Minister Claire O'Neill unveiled a migration review that recommends allowing more migrant care workers to fill the current demands for labour. NSW One Nation Mark Latham again defended his tweet reply to Independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich calling him disgusting on Chris Smith's TNT radio show. Latham said that to straight men the thought of two men having anal sex is puke worthy. A peer-reviewed scientific study in 2017 found straight men's physiological stress response to seeing two men kissing is the same as seeing maggots. Greenwich is now suing Latham for defamation, reported him to police and made a vilification complaint. Australia's eSaftey Commissioner Julie Inman Grant issued a takedown notice to Twitter over TERF news website Reduxx for misgendering transwoman and former SJW YouTuber now soccer player Riley Dennis. Dylan Mulvany feels that media reports saying he in response to the Bud Light backlash should be illegal. US President Biden officially announced his 2024 re-election campaign with the slogan ‘let's finish the job'. Because Biden is already 80 years old the Democrats have been promoting two Gen Z shills influencers Harry Sisson and Chris Mowrey. Disney is suing Florida Governor and likely Presidental candidate Ron DeSantis over him removing their special tax and planning status in the state. Already announced Presidential candidate and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley urged Disney to move their operations to her state. In Israel DeSantis signed an anti-free speech law HB 269 that makes it a felony with up to five years in jail for passing out “offensive” flyers or pamphlets. A week after Tucker Carlson's firing from Fox News ratings have helved in the network's 8pm slot. The inside word is it was the decision of the Murdochs. Fox Corporation revenue on Tucker's show had been declining from 2019 onwards because of advertiser boycotts after he said uncontrolled mass migration made America “poorer, dirtier and more divided”. Low-level Tucker producer Abby Grossberg is suing Fox claiming his office contained misogyny and anti-Semitism even though she never met Tucker. Rival conservative news channel Newsmax's ratings have increased with many MAGA American First patriots making the switch. Don Lemon's firing from CNN appears to have occurred because the network had just had enough of his identity politics black victimhood rants. Fresh violence has broken out between military factions in Sudan which is supposed to be in a transition to democracy. The WHO warned of a “high risk of biological hazard” after rebels seized a biolab in Sudan's capital Khartoum. mail: me@timwilms.comMessage: https://t.me/timwilms Wilms Front Links:Entropy: https://entropystream.live/app/wilmsfrontWebsite: http://timwilms.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wilmsfrontMinds: https://www.minds.com/timwilmsGab: https://gab.com/timwilmsTelegram: https://t.me/wilmsfrontParler: https://parler.com/profile/timwilms/ Support the Show:Membership: http://www.theunshackled.net/membershipDonate: https://www.theunshackled.net/donate/Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/TheUnshackledSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Authorities have pleaded with residents to cancel holidays and avoid floodwaters, as parts of NSW and the Illawarra continue to be inundated with rescue requests.In a press conference on Monday morning, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said that a massive 71 evacuation orders and 64 evacuation warnings were in place, with 83 flood rescues and 1593 requests for assistance lodged since 9pm Sunday. While flood waters have peaked, or are close to peaking in Menangle, and North Richmond, the situation is expected to worsen for the Windsor and the Lower Portland areas. Major flooding has been predicted to hit on Monday afternoon, before it moves downstream to Sackville and Wisemans Ferry.Mr Perrottet also issued a stern warning for affected residents to abide by instructions and in particular, to strictly avoid driving into flood waters.“If there is an evacuation warning in place, please get ready to evacuate. If there is an evacuation order in place, please leave immediately,” he said.“These instructions, warnings, orders, they are not in place for the sake of it.”Despite three days of devastating rain, Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cook warned the state was “not quite out of the woods yet”.She said a Commonwealth announcement for wider recovery measures would be announced on Tuesday, however the process would be kickstarted where it was possible to do so. While no official State of Disaster was announced, the Australian Defence Force has received requests for additional support under the Commonwealth disaster recovery plan.“We have SES communities at the Georges River area, looking at the impact of this latest flooding on people's homes, their businesses and the local infrastructure, working closely with councils, of course, to make sure that is all captured,” said Ms Cook.“That will form the basis of our discussions with the Federal Government in relation to rolling up support for communities as we look to get people back on their feet.”Speaking on ABC's News Breakfast, the Federal emergency management minister Murray Watt said he believed the state government would declare a state of disaster. This would allow the NSW government greater powers in administering directives to help affected areas.Conditions ‘too rough' to winch stranded crewConcerns have also been made for a bulk carrier vessel in Portland Bay which departed Wollongong on Monday morning.Carrying 21 crew members, the ship had lost power near the Royal National Park, with fears it risked crashing into a cliff face a mere 1km away. #WATCH // @Lifesaverhelo is responding to a stranded container ship off the Royal National Park.

On Episode 62 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete has the pleasure to speak with Donté Clark. Donté and Pete discuss Donte's growing up in North Richmond, CA, his childhood memories-both beautiful and traumatic, his work in the movie Romeo is Bleeding, his poetry, his teaching, and his poetry collection, Close Caskets.   Donté Clark is a poet, actor, and community activist from unincorporated North Richmond, California who works with youth organizations throughout the Richmond area. As a student in high school, Clark was recruited by his English teacher Molly Raynor who was founding a youth arts program, RAW Talent. Clark became the artistic lead of the program's first play, Té's Harmony, which examined local issues through the structure of Romeo and Juliet. The performance was introduced by poet Luis J. Rodriguez. The 2015 documentary Romeo Is Bleeding follows Clark in the process of writing and performing Té's Harmony. In July 2014, Donté Clark and two others, Lincoln Bergman and Brenda Quintanilla, were made poets laureate of Richmond for a two year period. They were preceded as poet laureate by Dwayne Parish, and succeeded by Daniel Ari, Ciera-Jevai Gordon and Rob Lipton. Clark's mentoring of the community's youth has led to some becoming mentors and teachers themselves, including poet and actor DeAndre Evans who appeared with Clark and Will Hartfield reciting poetry for a PBS story about housing in Richmond. Clark has a supporting role in the 2016 film Kicks, the 2018 film Code Switch, and stars in the web series The North Pole.        Show Notes and Links to Donté Clark's Work   Buy Donté 's Close Caskets Here   Donté Clark's Wikipedia   The Creative Independent Interview with Donté by Ambrose Mary Gallagher   Close Caskets Interview with Richmond Pulse   Edutopia Article about Romeo is Bleeding   Donté Clark Discusses Romeo is Bleeding   Romeo is Bleeding Trailer   Watch Romeo is Bleeding through YouTube   Donté performs his work, “Let Me Breathe” in 2014   Donté in Season 1, Episode 1 of Series The North Pole Talking Points/Authors/Books Mentioned and Allusions Referenced During the Episode:   At about 2:50, Donté talks about Richmond, CA, and his background there, and how he sees it as a “small city” and its interconnectedness and history of families   At about 5:30, Donté talks about one of his poems “600 Banks Drive” and its connection to the innocent days of his childhood   At about 10:40, Donté talks about shifts in his life, where innocence was lessened through his middle school days and looking back at possible traumas, and how he felt forced to make adult/serious decisions at a young ages   At about 14:35, Donté talks about the idea of “growing up too fast” and “growing up backwards”   At about 17:30, Donté talks about the dynamics between certain parts of Richmond   At about 23:40, Donté talks about his poem “Bus Stop” and how “exhausting” life can often be when you have to be vigilant so much of the time and how this hypervigilance has impacted Donté in his later life   At about 28:20, Donté talks about how he got into the Renaissance Man life-being an actor, poet, performer, etc., when he had at one time, according to Romeo is Bleeding, wanted to “be the best dope dealer.”   At about 35:20, Pete asks Donté about chill-inducing writers, and Donté references several, including Amir Sulaiman, Tongo Eisen-Martin, Jesmyn Ward, Chinaka Hodge, Lauren Whitehead, and Molly Raynor    At about 39:45, Donté talks about Molly Raynor and how she gained his respect when he was 17 and how the two began working together    At about 47:50, Donté describes reactions from him and others when he did his first poetry performances and his thoughts on the subject matter and how when he's teaching, checking in with students comes first   At about 54:25, Pete and Donté discuss some powerful lines from the documentary Romeo is Bleeding and Donte and “being in tune” with the words he reads and with the audience   At about 57:20, Donté discusses the Romeo and Juliet links to Romeo is Bleeding and the incredible feelings after presenting the work to an audience; he also talks about early casting    At about 1:06:40, Donté talks about Luis Rodriguez's help and support for Romeo is Bleeding and Donté's work as Poet Laureate of Richmond   At about 1:14:25, Donté talks about some of his acting work, including The North Pole YouTube series   At about 1:16:55, Donté explains the meanings and background of the title of his poetry collection, Close Caskets, as well as how Karla Brundage and Pacific Raven Press became the publishers   At about 1:20:00, Pete reads an excerpt of the poetry collection's foreword from Dr. Khalid White   At about 1:24:00, Pete and Donté discuss themes from the poetry collection, including loss, poverty, hunger, as seen in “33 Reasons,” “Gimme,” “Today, I…”   At about 1:26:25.

Dr Ian Wright, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science, Western Sydney University, joins Luke Grant to discuss whether the raising of Warragamba Dam walls should be a priority in light of the wild weather lashing NSW which some have labelled a once-in-a-generation event.    “While raising the dam wall has some merit, there is a massive urgent need for better flood-proof infrastructure”, says Dr Wright.   “The new Windsor Bridge built last year has flooded leaving thousands of people stranded on the other side of the river.”   “Landslides and fallen trees have left the communities of Wilberforce, North Richmond & Kurrajong isolated.   As a society in Western Sydney we have forgotten how to safely live on a flood plain.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GaptoothDiva will talk openly with Author and Self-Publisher Marcus Campbell. Marcus will discuss how his life went from trials & tribulations to creating his own literary spin on sensuality by writing his book on his sexual experiences, titled Club S.E.X (Sensual Erotic X-citement). We promise not to blush on this episode, but we promise a lot of things don't we? Marcus Campbell was born and raised in the Highland Park, Northside neighborhood in Richmond, Va. He and his younger brother of six years were raised in a single parent home by their mother. But unlike most single parent homes their father was always around and in their lives. Growing up he was involved in a variety of different things from cub scouts to playing little league sports for Hotchkiss Field. He graduated from John Marshall High School in 1993 where he was a standout baseball player who made it to play American Legion baseball. After graduating he soon fell into the trap that so many of our young black men fall victim to, by getting in trouble and being incarcerated. While incarcerated in 2002 after reading a Zane novel he decided to write a similar book but from a male from the hood point of view. After being released in 2008 and not being able to find a job because he's a convicted felon and not being able to find a publisher for his book. He decided to do it himself, he wrote, typed, printed, edited and binded the book with no help from anyone. He also wrote a second book titled 'Thoughts of A Young Black Man" while incarcerated and he hopes to have that published by the end of the year. Mr. Campbell loves sports his favorite teams are The Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Lakers, and Atlanta Braves. This year he even began coaching little league baseball for North Richmond. Mr. Campbell currently lives in Richmond has two kids and is engaged to their mother.
