It is also the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. As such, we replay speeches from the Naarm iteration of the National Rally Against Violence which took place back in July. At that point in the year, at least 56 women had been allegedly killed by men, that number now stands at 86.The speeches are by: - Bianca and Boyd Unwin, domestic violence advocates who began their advocacy following the brutal murder of Katie Haley in 2018. Katie's sister Biana is using her degrees in Criminology and Psychological Science to call out bad behaviour and poor practice. Katie's father Boyd sees his voice from the male perspective as an important tool to help change men's behaviour and attitudes. Boyd is also a current member on VSAC, the Victim Survivor Advocacy Council.- Madeleine Heather is the creator and host of the victim-centred podcast Reclaim Me, which offers victims and their families space to tell their stories in their own words. Madeleine herself is a victim survivor of child sexual abuse.- Finally we hear Sarah Hayden's speech at the rally. Sarah is a social worker, equine therapist, and a mother. **CW: racism - legacy of NT intervention (Aboriginal death)Support lines for Mob: 13YARN (13 92 76) -- a 24/7 national phone service operated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Crisis Supporters; Yarning Safe 'n' Strong 1800 959 563 a 24.7 Victorian phone support service. **This Saturday 23rd November, Coburg Town Hall hosted 'Voices from the frontlines of the climate crisis', a Mob-led panel discussion as part of the Middle Arm Roadshow.

A new publication from the Intervention Rollback Action Group has outlined the ongoing impacts of the Northern Territory Emergency Response. 

A new publication from the Intervention Rollback Action Group has outlined the ongoing impacts of the Northern Territory Emergency Response. 

This week's episode covers the Yuendumu community-led campaign Karrinjarla Muwajarri - no police guns in remote Aboriginal communities. The campaign emerged in the wake of the 2022 Northern Territory budget announcement re-affirming a government commitment to resourcing police instead of vital community services, and after the acquittal of an NT police officer over the 2019 death of Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker. The campaign also addresses the need to restore self-determination and self-governance in remote Aboriginal communities on the 15th anniversary of the NT Intervention, which is scheduled to end this year. A national day of action was called on the 18th of June, and today's show features excerpts from speeches given at the Mparntwe Alice Springs rally by Sabella Turner (Central Arrernte Nation), Valerie Martin (Warlpiri Nation), Barbara Shaw (Arrernte Nation) and Kumalie Riley (Arrernte Nation).You can read the Karrinjarla Muwajarri statement of demands here. More information about the work of the Intervention Rollback Action Group is available here.This show was produced in collaboration with Ethyl Ephedrine, slumberkitty and Tin Pickle from the Punk Tree Hour show on 8CCC Community Radio Alice Springs and Tennant Creek.

The following podcast features a lecture delivered by The Honourable Alastair Nicholson, titled “Human Rights & the NT Intervention”. The talk was presented to Social Policy Connections on Wednesday December 1st at the Study Centre of Yarra Theological Union. If you would like attend one of our events please refer to our website www.social policyconnections.org.au. Please feel free to subscribe to our podcast via itunes or via an RSS feed located on our website’s home page, as we will be publishing podcasts regularly, free of charge. Northern Territory Intervention, introduced in 2007, causes great anger, frustration and despondency amongst the majority of Aboriginal people in the NT. The intervention required the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA). Alastair Nicholson has been at the forefront of fighting to change the legislation to ensure full restoration of the RDA. In his talk, he provided more details about this issue, and how all concerned with Aboriginal wellbeing might respond. The Honourable Alastair Nicholson AO, RFD, QC is the Former Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia. He is an Honorary Professorial Fellow at the Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne.

In August of 2007 the Howard federal government introduced a wide range of measures aimed at addressing the serious issues of child sexual abuse reported in the Little Children Are Sacred report. The more controversial aspects of the Commonwealth measures involved the compulsory acquisitions of townships by the government through five-year leases, the dismantling of the permit system for communities on Aboriginal land, the removal of customary law and cultural background as considerations during bail and sentencing, an increased police presence in indigenous communities and reforms to welfare payments. There is a tendency, amongst critics of the Northern Territory Intervention, to interpret the Intervention as a case of illiberal and exceptional policy. Critics have appeared bewildered by the ability of policy to fall so far short of normative ideals of liberal government. This is an understandable disillusionment but it leaves critics of the NT Intervention without a tool for understanding how a policy which they see as self-evidently discriminatory and authoritarian could possibly have received bi-partisan political support.In this seminar presentation Melissa Lovell (Australian National University) draws on ideas about authoritarian liberal government and the liberal tradition of evaluating the capacity of liberal citizens to develop an understanding of the justifications given for the NT Intervention. In the case of the NT Intervention, authoritarian measures are deemed necessary to bring reforms into place and secure liberal freedom for potential liberal citizens (including the innocent children at the centre of the Little Children Are Sacred Report). This relies on the representation of indigenous people as citizens who are not yet capable of making good decisions. However there is an ongoing tension, in liberal politics, between the choice of authoritarian policy to enforce liberal ideals of citizenship and freedom and the liberal preference for facilitative forms of government. Arguments against the Northern Territory Intervention should therefore capitalize on the preference for facilitative forms of government and incorporate a critique of the 'goals' for which authoritarian policy is justified.This seminar was delivered as part of the 2009 Institute for Social Research Lunchtime Lectures.

Aired on 2ser 11th December This week the final round of climate talks before the Copenhagen agreement next year is happening at the moment in Poznan, Poland. The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) - which include countries most at risk from climate change impacts - has made a plea for the world to commit to a strong action plan on climate change at the United Nations talks currently underway in Poznan, Poland. Yesterday Australia was awarded first in the "fossil of the day" awards for countries which attempt to undermine the progress of the negotiations. Third Degree's Jessica Minshall speaks with John Hepburn, Climate Campaigner with Greenpeace. This week's guest: Owen Pascoe from the Australian Conservation Foundation breaks down the figures and targets that Australia should be aiming for at Poznan, in the White Paper (to be released next Monday 15th December) and at Copenhagen next year. He shares the latest information from climate campaigners in Poznan for the talks. The NT Intervention is still being rolled out in the NT, despite a recent review and Rudd's election promise to replace the “emergency” legislation with genuine consultation with Aboriginal communities. The Intervention involves the suspension of the racial discrimination act, which is a blemish of Australias human rights record. Wednesday was the International Human Rights Day celebrating the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human rights. Third Degree's Hannah Walters spoke with Alison Vivian from the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning. Presenters: Hannah Walters and Jessica Minshall

Ep. 24 Alice Springs Convergence, Greens Radioactive Waste Dump legislation, Carben Offset watch and Green Jobs. Aired on 2ser October 9th This week's guest is Hannah Walters who reports-back on the convergence in Alice Springs against the NT Intervention. Greens Dump legislation With the ALP election promise to repeal the Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management Act, you'd be forgiven for thinking that debate over a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory is no longer relevant. However nearly a year into the Rudd government's term, the act is still in place. Two weeks ago the Greens senator Scott Ludlam introduced a bill to repeal this act. The Third Degree’s James Hitchcock spoke with Senator Ludlam. Carbon Offset Watch You may ride a bicycle to work and have switched to GreenPower at home, without realising there are other ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. More than 50 carbon offset schemes exist, but how do you find what project is sustainbable for you. ‘Carbon Offset Watch’ is a website that ranks Australia’s carbon offset retailers and Anne von Fehrn spoke to one its founders, Dr Chris Riedy from the Institute for Sustainable Futures. Green Jobs Workers in the U.S. are swapping jobs in polluting industries for new ‘green-collar’ jobs in the emerging clean economy. And in Australia, several pilot programs have started which focus on youth in coal-affected communities like the Hunter Valley. This feature is produced by Jessica Minshall and Holly Creenaune. We speak to program co-ordinators, young workers and hear from researchers exploring the potential for green employment. Presenters: Libby King and Jessica Minshall

Aired on 2ser Oct 2nd This week's guest is Bev Smiles from the Mudgee District Environment Group, who provides an overview of current coal mining in NSW, and in particular Xstrata's record. The burning issue is Garnaut: The federal government's chief climate advisor, Professor Ross Garnaut handed his final report over to Kevin Rudd on Tuesday, and received some very mixed reviews from global warming experts. Featured in story: Bob Brown - Australian Greens leader, Anna Rose – GetUp climate campaigner and Roger Jones - Principal research scientist of CSIRO Produced by Michelle Watts. NT Intervention uranium and rally On Tuesday it was revealed that Uranium mining company Cameco has been granted a uranium exploration license for Angela - Pamela, a site located just 25km from the heart of Alice Springs. The federal government’s decision has incensed many locals who believe uranium mining could pose a direct threat to the safety of the community and its water supply. Dr Hilary Tyler from Medical Association For the Prevention of War, is at the convergence at Alice Springs protesting against the continued NT Invervention and the impact it’s having on the communities there. The 3rd Degree’s James Hitchcock spoke with her about the license approval. Polluting environmentalists Recent research in the UK has found people who feel they lead the most sustainable lifestyles are actually causing the most environmental damage. According to a survey of 200 people done by Exeter University, people who regularly recycle and save energy at home are also the most likely to take frequent long distance flights. Dr. Phil McManus is a senior lecturer at the University of Sydney Geography department. He has been doing related research into the tensions between discourses of sustainable cities and the practices of Neoliberalism. He spoke with the third degree’s Libby King. Rising Tide meets with K RUDD A Community Cabinet session was held in Newcastle this week, giving the locals a chance to voice concerns to the federal government. And, as ever, there were climate change demonstrations. A few people had short meetings with Kevin Rudd and the Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong. The 3rd Degree’s James Hitchcock spoke with Georgina Woods from Rising Tide Newcastle about her meeting with the PM Kevin Rudd. Presenters: Jessica Minshall and Nick Hollins
