Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show. Our first segment is dedicated to Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary child who died on February 8th following a brutal, transphobic assault in the halls of their own school. In the wake of their death, we as a community and a society must mourn for those lost to transphobic violence across the globe and reflect on how we can protect Queer and Trans youth to ensure they live full lives and become Queer and Trans elders.

Today's we bring you nuclear news with Friends of the Earth Australia's National Nuclear-free campaigner Dr. Jim Green. We discuss Dutton's push for nuclear power in Australia; the UK nuclear power construction at Hinkley Point; the growing threat of nuclear war and the latest nuclear waste threat under AUKUS - the Australia, UK and US military pact.The Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Bill 2023 establishes a new regulatory framework to promote and regulate the nuclear safety of activities relating to AUKUS submarines. The framework would apply to Australian submarines and to activities related to UK/US submarines. We've learnt that it could make Australia a dumping ground of high-level military nuclear waste from the United Kingdom and United States – if laws proposed by Defence Minister Richard Marles are rushed through Parliament in the coming weeks. An Inquiry into the Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Bill reported on Monday 13th May and Recommendation 3 is as follows:'The Committee recommends that the Government consider amending the Bill so that a distinction is made between Australia's acceptance of low-level nuclear waste from AUKUS partners, but non-acceptance of high-level nuclear waste.' Take action now and contact your local parliamentarian to call on them to close this dangerous loophole in the legislationThe nuclear free collective have a proforma letter that you can send to your local representative: www.melbournefoe.org.au/no_aukus_intl_wasteFriends of the Earth Melbourne has a petition to sign opposing Peter Duttons plan to build large scale nuclear power plants in Victoria: www.melbournefoe.org.au/nonuclearvic_petitionThe Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency are considering application No A0346 by the Australian Submarine Agency to prepare a site for a prescribed radiation facility (namely a low level waste management and maintenance facility) to be known as the 'Controlled Industrial Facility' at the existing HMAS Stirling site, at Garden Island, Rockingham in Western Australia.To have your say go to https://consult.arpansa.gov.au.

Coffee Up! - A podcast from the wholesale team at Market Lane Coffee
In our second podcast following our inaugural Leadership in Hospitality event, Kai from our HR team sits down with Huw Murdoch from Wild Life Bakery to chat about team development and culture.Prior to founding Wild Life, Huw was the manager of Market Lane's greatly missed Therry St shop, and he was instrumental in helping us establish a presence in the Queen Victoria Market. In 2016, Huw opened Wild Life Bakery on Albert Street in Brunswick East. The bakery quickly became an integral part of the Brunswick East community, and a destination for people seeking out Melbourne's best sourdough bread. Huw recently opened an outpost, Wild Life Superette, on Sydney Rd in Brunswick.In this conversation, Huw talks with characteristic thoughtfulness and frankness about the ways he's worked to foster a positive culture at Wild Life, the privilege and challenges of being an employer in hospitality, the benefits of cross-training team members, and how, at times, being a business owner can challenge his own moral compass.

Discussion turns to Sydney Rd, Brunswick and Coburg and a statement from the RACV supporting the removal of car parking from the strip to facilitate the movement of people in cars, trams and on foot and on bikes.

Moreland City Council have rejected an ill-concieved plan to introduce an 'anti-dooring' lane for cyclists on Sydney Rd, while pressure is increasing for a seperated bike lane to protect cyclists on St Kilda Rd. Val takes a look at bells, the type of bell to suit you, and your bike and what you use it for. We talk about the Speedvagen #SVFitTour by Vanilla Workshop coming up in early September, and the Mt Buller Pump Track which will be spending more time in Melbourne over the next few months. There is an op shop ride coming up next weekend and, its time to start planning your weekend away for the Bright 24hr.
Hey Folks,Well, here we go with Chapter VIII. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Our landlord decided to move back into our house, so we got two months notice on the marching orders. After a few false starts, we found a new place, really nice, in a neighborhood I like- a friendly local pub, a decent cafe, and a short walk to the action of Sydney Rd. On top of that, the house is on a quarter acre block, of which very few still exist in this part of Melbourne. All that to say that I've been delayed in my duties. On top of it, I've buried my good microphone somewhere and won't be able to correct a few of the little recording mistakes I found...I'll try to get them next week. Nothing too major...Here it is:http://m1_sterling.tripod.com/conan/hour_of_the_dragon8.mp3Cheers,Morgan Check out this illustrated collection of Conan stories at Amazon and help support my podcast!"
