There's also a quick politics detour with a shake-up in the Liberal Party of Australia, before ending on the most unexpected update out of the Winter Olympics—they've run out of condoms.

We replay a conversation with Dr Susie Allanson and Lizzie O'Shea from 12 July 2022 about the fight for reproductive rights in Australia. Dr Susie Allanson was a clinical psychologist for more than 35 years. Twenty-six of those years were at the Fertility Control Clinic in Melbourne. Susie led the clinic's campaign for safe access to abortion. Lizzie O'Shea is a lawyer and writer. Lizzie represented the Fertility Control Clinic in the Supreme Court case to stop the harassment of staff and patients by anti-abortion fanatics. Together they wrote the book, 'Empowering Women: From Murder & Misogyny to High Court Victory'. In this conversation Dr Susie Allanson begins by speaking about their book and then Lizzie O'Shea speaks about the overturning of Roe v Wade and provides more insight into the Australian context. Please note that since the airing of this conversation, WA has decriminalised abortion as of 27 March 2024. Dr Sophie Rudolph, Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne, researches the educational implications of settler colonialism and is engaged with a range of communities in efforts towards transforming systems of oppression. Sophie speaks about the Anti-Palestinian Racism in Schools' report (which she co-authored) that was launched on Friday 26 September 2025. The report brings together 15 months of testimonies from students, teachers, and school community members, revealing how anti-Palestinian racism is deployed and normalised in schools.  Bee leads the Asian Migrant Project at Vixen. They do outreach and support work and advocate for sex workers.

Bee is back in the studio with us this morning to give us an update on the violence and threats made to Asian migrant sex workers and the upcoming fundraising event for Rising Red Lantern. *Listeners are advised that the conversation includes descriptions of police raids and references to violence against sex workers. If you are a migrant sex worker in need of support, you can reach out to your local peer organisation. That's Scarlet Alliance for the peak body at www.scarletalliance.org.au or Vixen in so-called Victoria at www.vixen.org.au.

After escaping Afghanistan, the players rebuilt their lives here in Australia. But football has always stayed close to their hearts. Now, the team isn't together in one place. Instead, the players are scattered, joining different clubs across the country. So, what does this mean for their journey as a team, and their hopes for the future? To talk about this, Zakia spoke to Mursal Sadat, the former captain of the Afghan women's football team, who tells the story of their evacuation, relocation and joining National Premier Leagues Vic.// Songs: Let Your Love Rule - Archie Roach//Move - Baker Boy//

On this week's episode we look into big tech companies - their complicity in war, their pervasive use of surveillance and data, and the impacts this is having on us as individuals, as artists, and as communities. Our first conversation is with Cher Tan, an essayist and critic whose written work has been published widely. Cher delves into the dark side of Spotify; its ties to the military-industrial complex, its role in stripping artists of their rights and dignity, as well as the way it has homogenised art and culture. Later in the program, we'll hear an interview with Lucinda Thorpe, Privacy Campaigner at Digital Rights Watch, which aired on 3CR's Tuesday Breakfast on 12 August 2025. In this interview, Lucinda outlines the latest Productivity Commission report which calls for a pause on AI regulation; how this benefits big tech companies and the negative impacts this will have on our privacy.

On this week's program, we hear from Bee and Rory about the targeting of Asian-migrant sex workers, increased raids committed by Australian Border Force through Operation Inglenook, and the ongoing violence and surveillance of street-based sex workers. First, we'll hear a conversation with Bee on 3CR's Tuesday Breakfast. Bee is a migrant sex worker, outreach peer support worker for women of cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds for Vixen and AMSWAG (Asian Migrant Sex Worker Advisory Group) under the Scarlet Alliance. They are also a member of Justice for Our Sisters. This interview originally aired on Tuesday 15th April. We will then hear from Rory, a sex worker and peer support worker with Vixen who spoke at the action organised outside the Department of Home Affairs in Naarm on Thursday 17th April. This rally was organised by Vixen to demand an end to racist profiling of Asian-migrant sex workers at work and at the border; an end to the raids and to shut down Operation Inglenook; cops and Border Force out of sex worker spaces, and full decriminalisation for all sex workers, including street-based workers. Content warning: Listeners are advised that the following program includes descriptions of police raids and references to violence against sex workers. If you are a migrant sex worker in need of support, you can reach out to your local peer organisation. That's Scarlet Alliance for the peak body at www.scarletalliance.org.au or Vixen in so-called Victoria at www.vixen.org.au.
