BREAKING @ 8 - 9th September 2024 The State Government is taking swift action to address shortcomings in the law highlighted by the tragic killing of Millicent woman Synamin Bell. Ms Bell's killer pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Today he was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment with a non parole period of 8 years and 10 months. The Government is investigating law reforms so that the partial defence of excessive self-defence would no longer be available to individuals who killed someone as a result of delusions they were experiencing as a result of self-induced intoxication. The Government will be consulting with key legal bodies and the broader community before introducing any legislation to State Parliament.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Legislation will be introduced into State Parliament this week to allow a primary school to be built in East Perth.  The project was announced early last year, but has been stalled due to pushback from the City of Perth.  The state government is moving forward with the build by repealing an act which will unlock the parcel of land adjacent to queens gardens.  Education Minister Tony Buti says the $4.2 million the City of Perth will be receiving is fair compensation, but Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas says it's an abuse of power with the Government refusing to negotiate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

G'day Folks, On tonight's show Andy & Ethan join me to discuss what's been happening here and around the world over the last month. Namely the Referendum here in Australia and the Israel/Palestine conflict. We discuss the lead up to the vote where the propaganda campaign from the Yes promoters was relentless and well funded. Referendum day Saturday October 14th came and went and so did the hopes of the Yes voters with the No vote winning an approximate 60% overall.  We dive in to what it means for us Australians now especially in light of the States intentions to plough ahead with their own versions of The Voice to Parliament. A Voice to State Parliament perhaps?  We also go over Ethan's latest piece on the Referendum result and how it can be potentially weaponised against the Australian people. Never let a good crisis go to waste you might say. The tabled Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation & Disinformation) Bill will likely use the election result to say that the Voice lost due to online misinformation as the talking heads are already parroting this very sentiment.  We switch gears and focus our attention on the middle-east conflict between Israel and Palestine. The first victim of this war being the truth. Talk about misinformation and disinformation or basically downright fear and atrocity propaganda to the public siding with Israel. But is this newest conflict by design? If so, by who and to what end? Could this simply be modus operandi by Israel for yet another encroaching land grab? We'll see.  Divisive Voice campaign defeated — but will result be weaponised? - https://tottnews.com/2023/10/14/voice-campaign-defeated-analysis/ 10% of Carbon Tax to UN - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv3OLKsQ83k United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/11/UNDRIP_E_web.pdf Australian States Push on with Voice - https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/oct/16/australian-states-to-push-ahead-with-voice-and-treaty-processes-in-absence-of-federal-body Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 - https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/communications-legislation-amendment-combatting-misinformation-and-disinformation-bill2023-june2023.pdf Voice Stats - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-15/nsw-votes-no-indigenous-voice-referendum-demographics-result/102976968

The High Court is set to rule on the validity of laws in WA allowing the State to indefinitely detain “high risk” offenders. The High Risk Serious Offenders legislation, introduced by the McGowan Government and passed through State Parliament in 2020, targets offenders who are deemed likely to pose an unacceptable risk to the community. It hands judges the power to order the continuing detention or community supervision of violent offenders who are nearing their release date. But it's met with criticism, and there are concerns this could disproportionately impact Indigenous prisoners. It's been brought back into the spotlight because of the case of Noongar man Peter Robert Garlett, who is challenging WA's High Risk Serious Offenders legislation after being detained beyond his prison sentence for aggravated robbery. Why is this seen as a problem?  Joining the show to explain is human rights lawyer Dr Hannah McGlade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
