In the following outtake you will hear the voice of proud Bundjalung and Lama-lama woman Tamala Shelton. Tamala is an actor, singer and author of the two spoken word pieces we are about to play. The first piece was written by Tamala to commemorate NAIDOC week last year, answering the call to keep the fire burning.The second piece is personal confrontation with the atrocities of genocide on social media as well as a call to action, in the name of justice for the Palestinian people.

On Tuesday, Yousef joined me to talk about his exciting new project - a 12 week Arabic language course, hosted at Black Spark cultural centre. Instead of creating a standard course and then seeking out participants, Yousef will host a public gathering aimed at understanding the communities unique needs and interests for learning the Arabic language. You can register to attend the public meeting...which will be held at Black Spark on February 11th at 6pm...by emailing Yousef Alreemawi at “y.reemawi@gmail.com” to express your interest.//Sophie - Melbourne Activist Legal Support (MALS)// Joins us to unpack the service's Legal Observer Team Report on the policing of the Disrupt Land Forces protests, which was published on Monday this week.

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// We listened to part one of a talk given by Palestinian scholar and theorist Abdaljawad Omar during the early October 2024 teach-in 'The Left's Problem with Palestine', co-convened by CUNY for Palestine and Grad Center for Palestine. In this talk, held in the lead up to the first anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood operation of October 7th 2023, Omar critically analyses the Western left's reflexive condemnation of Palestinian resistance both on that date and more broadly, and the implications of this hasty disavowal for a genuine engagement with anticolonial struggle. We'll play part two next week, but you can watch the full talk and subsequent extended discussion between Omar and Jodi Dean here.// Content warning: this conversation touches on themes of transphobia, sexual assault (r*pe), and suicide.

Katie and Stacey speak about their experiences of transphobic violence while being incarcerated in men's prisons, their fight to access gender-affirming care, self-advocacy, and how the state tries to quash rehabilitation and second chances in the community. Listen back to the full set of conversations for our Trans Day of Audibility 2024 broadcast here.// Antipoverty Centre spokesperson Kristin O'Connell joined us to talk about the catastrophic impacts of energy poverty on low-income folks in so-called Australia. On Monday this week, Antipoverty Centre, Parents for Climate and Sweltering Cities launched their Stop The Bill Shock Campaign by delivering a $173 million energy bill to Origin Energy headquarters, with the figure representing the estimated cost to the company to wipe the slate of energy debt owed by the 98,000 Origin customers currently on a hardship program. The campaign is demanding an end to price gouging by Australian energy retailers and immediate debt forgiveness for consumers experiencing financial hardship in the face of over a decade of increasing energy poverty in the country. As Kristin mentioned during our chat, Antipoverty Centre are encouraging people to share their stories about energy poverty and difficulties with energy retailers here.//Ibi spoke with us about a fundraiser event running this Friday the 6th of December at Catalyst Social Centre raising money for Sisters Inside and mutual aid initiatives for people in Sudan and Palestine.

In Episode 1.6 Until All of Us are Free, None of Us are Free we focus on the fundamental connections between the struggle for an end to the genocide in Gaza and the liberation of Palestine and Palestinian people with oppressed peoples everywhere. In particular in this episode we recognise interconnections and entanglements across the movements for prison abolition, queer and trans liberation, and for disability justice.You'll hear recorded speeches from Turtle Island (US)-based Black lesbian abolitionist Prof Andrea Ritchie at last November's Sisters Inside conference, and from trans woman and abolition organiser Necho Brocchi at Magandjin's Trans Day of Resistance gathering that took place on November 25, 2023. Both of these speakers trace the importance of recognising the co-constitution of struggles for an end to incarceration and to oppression and violence against trans people with the struggles for Indigenous sovereignty and to end the genocidal settler-colonial occupation of Palestine.Also in this episode, you'll hear Han in deep discussions with queer Palestinian academic and community organiser Fahad Ali, and with Wiradjuri, Irish and Flemish disability justice organiser and writer Vanamali (Mali) Hermans. And we have extracts from an interview conducted by Anna in collaboration with Belle from 4ZZZ's Only Human with deaf Palestinian Mazen Al-Khaldi, who went viral for his video sharing how to sign “Free Free Palestine” in Auslan, the sign language of the majority of the australian deaf community.If you've just found your way to our podcast, our aim is to archive the ongoing movement for Palestinian liberation as it unfolds on the unceded lands of the Yuggera, Yugarapul, Jagera, Turrbal and Yugumbeh peoples, across so-called brisbane and the surrounding cities of south east queensland.

We look at how Fatuma's own mantra came to be through her family and community, how it has filtered through her life from when she was growing up, to how it has impacted her work decisions.We get under the hood and discuss the impact that previous generations can have on an individuals own outlook, and how Fatuma's, 'Give Back' philosophy intertwines with her mantra and her business, and how this ultimately helps to empower others. We talk about the business of kindness and how this has influenced Fatuma's ethical fashion business in terms of sustainability and the support of women both here and in Kenya.Don't miss this exciting episode to give you a very different perspective on what the fashion industry is doing and how it is changing for the better both here and abroad thanks to people like Fatuma.This episode is dedicated to a charity close to Fatuma's heart, Sisters Inside - a charity supporting criminalised women, girls, children, and families both inside prison and out.

The report, co-authored by Claire, University of Technology Sydney Associate Professor Linda Steele, and University of Sydney Associate Professor Dinesh Wadiwel, emphasises the urgency of ending the use of forced restraints and restrictive practices against people with disability in the face of their continued and expanding use across multiple sectors.

Our guest Danika gives insight into the experience of trans people in binary sex-segregated prisons and how prison is a revolving door for many working class communities. We encourage you to follow Australia's leading prison abolition organisation Sisters Inside and their conference Imagining Abolition here: https://sistersinside.com.au/

In todays episode I am chatting to Kellie Andrews about her two home births.   Kellie has just started a project called The Furry Turtle, where she creates upcycled garments. All profits go to Sisters Inside, an independent community organisation advocating for the human rights of First Nations women and girls in the prison system, and providing services to meet their individual needs.   If you would like to support Kelly and Sisters Inside, you can find the The Furry Turtle on instagram @the_furry_turtle.   Visit Sisters Inside at https://sistersinside.com.au/ to find out more about their services and for more ways to get involved.     Kellie birthed both her two daughters at home and had very different but beautiful and empowering births.   With Banjo Kellie had a long labour and birth which ended in a hospital transfer after birth due to excessive bleeding and retained membranes.   During Wilke's pregnancy Kellie experienced a condition where her heart rate suddenly increased and changed in rhythm. She was lucky to get treated and discharged from hospital quickly and went on to have a fast powerful birth at home. This time around Kellie opted for a managed third stage and although she did still experience heavy bleeding it was able to be managed at home.   Kellie takes us right through both of those births, and along the way we discuss consent in the context of the hospital system, experiencing pleasurable feelings during birth, and the importance of prioritising a woman experience of her birth as well as a healthy baby.   Kellie had a birth photographer at both of her births and the images are absolutely amazing so make sure you check those out at keepbirthwild.podcast

In 2018 the Australian Human Rights Commission stated that the trend towards incarceration saw a 77% increase of women in prison, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women making up the majority of this increase. Indigenous women and girls are the fastest growing group of people being incarcerated in 'Australia'. Approximately 90% of women in prison are mothers, and the majority of these mothers are single parents. Statistics also stated that almost 1 in 50 women reported being pregnant while in prison.In this episode of Pregnancy Birth and Beyond, presenter Kirilly Dawn speaks with Debbie Kilroy OAM, founder of Sisters Inside, about the targeted impact of the Prison Industrial Complex on mothers, women and girls. Debbie is one of Australia’s leading advocates for protecting the human rights of women and children through decarceration - the process of moving away from using prisons and other systems of social control in response to crime and social issues. In this conversation, Debbie discusses why she is a prison abolitionist, why she started Sisters Inside after her own experience of prison, and the justice a world without prisons would provide. She unravels the racial capitalist system which is responsible for the alarmingly yet strategically high incarceration rates of women, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls. We also speak about reproductive justice, maternity care inside, and the realities many women face when being pregnant and birthing in prison. And lastly Debbie speaks to the Free Her campaign run by Sisters Inside, which has now raised over a million dollars to pay off the fines of women in Western Australia who are being incarcerated for poverty, many of whom are Aboriginal women.
Debbie Kilroy OAMDebbie’s passion for justice is the result of her personal experience of the criminal (in)justice system and an unwavering belief that prison represents a failure of justice. During her time in prison, Debbie worked hard for a degree in Social Work and took on the huge task of turning her life around. Since then, she has qualified as a Gestalt Therapist and Legal Practitioner, and has completed a Graduate Diploma of Forensic Mental Health.After her release in 1992, Debbie established Sisters Inside, which advocates for the human rights of women in the criminal justice system and responds to gaps in the services available to them. Sisters Inside has won international recognition for its work and its unique structure which ensures it is driven by women with lived prison experience.In 2003, Debbie was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to the community for working with women in prison. She was also awarded the Australian Human Rights Medal in 2004 and a Churchill Fellowship to explore decarceration strategies and programs internationally in 2014. In 2017, Debbie was appointed to the Queensland Government Sentencing Advisory Council. Debbie was admitted to the legal profession by the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2007 – a rare achievement for someone with serious convictions. She now has her own law firm and (in addition to her work as CEO of Sisters Inside) is one of Queensland’s leading criminal solicitors.To read more about Debbie and her work at Sisters Inside visit:www.sistersinside.com.auTo donate to Sister's Inside 'Free Her' campaign assisting women in Western Australia visit:https://www.gofundme.com/f/bfvnvt-freethepeople

Em's daughter Odie is stoked to be heading back to school, she also dropped a surprise reveal on where she's been heading to get info on the current protests and the Black Lives Matter movement. Em also has details about a great charity which helps Indigenous women called Sisters Inside. Then it's on to Masterchef contestant Simon and his claim that vegetables are the way forward for the future of Australia? They could well be, but Simon's offering of soggy broccoli isn't going to be the way forward for the mouths of Australia, the Masterchef judges, or for him on the show. The Final 10 are ready to fight it out for the crown and Em and Michael are feeling it's Reynold for the win. Cafes are slowly opening back up after lockdown and Michael is all about it. He's throwing himself at it with vigour by going EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He makes his booking, uses his full hour, orders all of the things off the menu, whereas Em....not so much. Well she's been out to a cafe once, with her hand sani in tow of course, she ordered, she ate, everything went okay, but it'll be another month before Em's doing it again. Plus Scott's back to help Em with her “spiraling” issue, which has nothing to do with zucchini noodles, and everything to do with those moments where something goes wrong. If you find yourself panicking and going from 1 to 100 in those unexpected moments, almost worrying that the world is ending and the sky is falling in, fear not, Scott has some great advice to help you navigate it better.

We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation who are the traditional owners of the land we are on, we pay respect to the Wurundjeri elders past, present, and emerging. Thug Mills feels strongly about the events of the last few weeks, where we have witnessed a horrific escalation of police violence against protestors and people of all colours across America. We continue to be aware of the injustice against the traditional owners of this land, whether it be police brutality, rates of incarceration, gaps in health, education, employment, and monetary inequity. We feel that what would make sense at this time would be to try and amplify black creators and voices. We feel that this is not the time for us to be heard, but to listen to the voices of others. And to try and educate ourselves to those who have been oppressed. There is no amount of education that will help us to understand what that is truly like. We encourage you to seek out and support black creators and artists, whilst you also find ways to support protestors. Other ways in which you can support include donating to the Justice for David Dungay Junior fund, the Sisters Inside bail fund, and Pay the Rent. You can also donate to the Aboriginal Legal Service, which aims to address the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system.

We feast on Clive Palmer’s lawsuit against Friendlyjordies and the IPA’s hilariously bad video on “regulatory dark matter”. We talk about the horrible way police treated Noongar woman Keennan Dickie, the great work Sisters Inside have been doing supporting First Nations women in prison, the mixed changes to the West Australian laws about unpaid fines, and the murder of Filipina woman Mhelody Bruno. For our main course we have a classic School Lunch and talk about the School Strike for Climate and our somewhat conflicting feelings about it. Donate to Sisters Inside: https://sistersinside.com.au/about/support-us/ Donate to Joyce Clarke’s family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/joyce-clarkes-funeral Donate to Auspol Snackpod: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod

The Western Australian (WA) government plans to revise its current law that entails imprisonment of people with unpaid fines. At the moment, WA is the only state in the country that imprisons people for not paying fines after committing offenses that are often considered petty. In the reformed law, only a magistrate, or an official who handles minor crimes, will be authorized to order prison time for people who are unable to pay fines. Currently, an official from the Fines Enforcement Registry has the authority to issue a warrant for the imprisonment of a person with unpaid fines. Data from previous research showed that since 2010, over a thousand people in the state have ended up in prison each year for their inability to pay fines. A 2016 report claimed that people experiencing severe poverty are likely to receive jail sentences because of unpaid fines. These people mostly consist of native Australians called Aborigines, the unemployed, single mothers, and vulnerable groups such as the homeless. Therefore, the proposed change in the law, which will take effect in July, aims to prevent imprisonment of underprivileged people caused by the lack of means to pay fines. In addition, the changes will allow these people to pay their fines over a period of time or find alternative ways to pay them off. The government promised the reforms in the law following a campaign by Sisters Inside, a group that supports the human rights of women in prison. This group initiated the #FreeThePeople GoFundMe campaign in January this year to raise money to shoulder the fines of Aboriginal women who are serving time. The campaign has received donations from over 7,000 people and has raised nearly $300,000 to free people from prison and pay issued warrants. The group is targeting 10,000 donors to take part in the campaign.

In this episode Dave talks with Bridget Harilaou about the recent Imagining Abolition Conference organised by Sisters Inside. Bridget discusses the ideas that were discussed there, their implications for struggles and the kind of future abolishing prisons points to. She digs into how prisons quilt together histories of colonialism, the operation of patriarchy and the oppression of Indigenous people and thus why the struggle against them is so important. Bridget’s work can be found in many places. Here is some of it:  Flavours Of Forgiveness — What Bao Tells Us About Family What we get wrong about smart Asian kids Why Asian Australians should call out racism beyond their own culture Activist Or Professional? A Feminist Question Sisters Inside do lots of amazing things. They are currently raising funds to free Aboriginal women imprisoned for the non-payment of fines. Chip in if you can

His second book, Reefer Madness (2003), looked at America’s thriving underground economy.  Both were New York Times bestsellers. His most recent book, Command and Control (2013), examines the efforts of the military, since the atomic era began during World War II, to prevent nuclear weapons from being stolen, sabotaged, or detonated by accident. Command and Control was a New York Times Notable Book, a Time Magazine Top 10 Nonfiction Book, was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize (History) and also received the Gold Medal Award (Nonfiction) from the 2013 California Book Awards.
