Set The Standard is a Vic Health initiative designed to help local sports clubs fight racism by helping coaches and club leaders build culturally inclusive spaces. In this edition of The Conversation Hour Ian Hamm, Yorta Yorta man and Vic Health joins the program to discuss just how serious the issue of racism is in sports clubs and discusses some of the best strategies in combating it. Also in this edition, the role kindergarten plays in a child's development, plus we talk all the excitement of Bad Bunny arriving in Australia. 

On this episode of Women on the Line, we first hear from Gemma Cafarella, barrister and president of Liberty Victoria, about new research exposing the discriminatory and ineffective use of Victoria Police's ‘designated area' powers - a regime that allows police to stop and search people without reasonable grounds or a warrant.We then hear an excerpt from 3CR Thursday Breakfast's Priya speaking with Tarneen Onus Browne, Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Bindal and Meriam person and community organiser, about the ongoing federal court challenge against Victoria Police's designated areas powers in the context of First Nations resistance movements.

Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines//Labor's hate speech lawsReport released on Designated Area declarationsSenator Thorpe moves amendment to federal government's new gun control lawsHealthcare Workers Union members demand fair pay deal// Tarneen Onus Browne, Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Bindal and Meriam person and community organiser, joined us to discuss the ongoing federal court challenge against Victoria Police's designated areas powers in the context of First Nations resistance movements. The case, brought by Human Rights Law Centre on behalf of Tarneen, Benny Zable and with new applicant David Hack, questions the validity of Victoria Police's extraordinary powers within designated areas, including stop and search powers and the ability to direct people to leave areas if they refuse to remove a face covering. While the 6-month declaration of Naarm's CBD as a designated area was ended early, organisers are concerned about the impact that ever-expanding police powers will have on fundamental protest rights, particularly those of First Nations people in the lead up to Invasion Day 2026. Register via Humanitix for the 2026 Naarm Invasion Day rally to receive updates with health and legal advice, and head to Dhadjowa Foundation if you can volunteer your time on Monday to assist organisers to collect donations to Pay the Rent.// Ilo Diaz from the Centre Against Racial Profiling joined us to continue the conversation about designated area declarations in Victoria. Following on from our chat on 18 December 2025, where Ilo spoke about some of the work he has been doing to document designated areas, today's interview focuses on the report 'A Tale of Two Cities: The Hidden Geography of Police Powers in Victoria', released this week by the Centre, which identifies the racialised impact of designated area policing via an analysis of declarations between 2019-2024. You can read 'A Tale of Two Cities' here.// Earlier this week, Alice caught up with writer, independent journalist and anti-fascist activist Tom Tanuki to discuss the Albanese Labor government's 'Combatting Antisemitism' laws, much of which have passed both Houses of Parliament early this week. Civil society organisations and legal advocates have raised alarm about the speed at which these laws have been rushed through Parliament, with consultation on the exposure draft of the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 announced on the 13th of January this year in the wake of the Bondi attack. You can watch Tom's video unpacking the hate speech laws here.// We played a speech by Dunghutti activist Paul Silva, nephew of David Dungay Jr., at a rally held last Sunday the 18th of January to commemorate 10 years since David Dungay Jr. passed away in the custody of New South Wales Corrective Services. This rally was met with a significant police presence, with attendees prevented from taking to the streets by NSW Police due to new powers to restrict public protests granted after the Bondi attack in December 2025. The upcoming Invasion Day rally in Sydney is anticipated to proceed without heightened policing due to a last-minute carve-out of the rally route from New South Wales' increasingly draconian protest laws. Paul Silva's speech was recorded by Iyngaranathan Selvaratnam.// Songs//We Have Survived - Bart Willoughby ft. Deline Briscoe and Friends

Nearly two years after the failed referendum saw a First Nations voice to parliament shot down, some NGOs and state governments have been taking the initiative to follow the wishes of the majority of Indigenous communities in Australia who voted for this special representation. Australia's principal non-government organisation for public health, the Public Health Association of Australia, has announced they will be instituting an Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander voice to help guide their work after a near unanimous vote by their members. SBS spoke to Dr Summer May Finlay, a Yorta Yorta woman, an Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong and the Vice President (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) of the Public Health Association about the importance of a First Nations voice in helping to Close the Gap on healthcare outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians

So-called debts are generally due to errors in the system or unfair, confusing rules. These include partner and parental income tests, complex eligibility for study payments, cuts to Centrelink payments when a small amount is earned from wages and access barriers for people experiencing homelessness and family violence.

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?

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 14th of July 2025. On today's show: Headlines: French parliament recognises 'New Caledonia' as its own state despite Indigenous Kanak resistance. NDIA admits to removing participant from scheme following participant's alleged criticism of scheme on social media Last Monday members of the Allan government met with what's called the 'anti-hate task force' in response to a number of events around so-called Melbourne, including an attack on a synagogue and continued protest against genocide in Palestine and ties to Israel. Both the Allan government and multiple media outlets such as The Age, the Herald Sun and the ABC were quick to conflate these events as anti-Semitic in yet another attempt to stifle criticism of Israel, the Victorian government, and other entities which have partnered with the Zionist settler-colony. The Monday Breakfast show was joined by Ohad Kozminsky, executive member of the Jewish Council of Australia, an independent Jewish voice supporting human rights and opposing antisemitism and racism, to speak about the task force and the false conflation of anti-genocide protest with anti-Semitism. Edmi spoke with Ian Hamm about the Yoorrook Justice Commission report and its findings, the responsibilities of First Nations people and settlers alike in pushing for First Nations sovereignty and land back, as well as using a framework of looking to the future when taking part in the struggle. Ian is a Yorta Yorta man who has been actively involved in the Victorian Indigenous community in a personal and professional capacity for over 30 years. He has had a wide exposure to, and led, policy reform and program implementation for both the State and Federal Governments at executive level, mostly notably in Aboriginal Affairs. Since 2000, Ian has been a board member of a range of NFP's, including a number as Chair. He has led some of these organisations through change and adaption to ensure they are well placed for the challenges of improving the lives of people in a rapid changing environment. Ian is Chairperson of the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation, First Nations Foundation, and President of the Community Broadcasting Foundation up until a couple of weeks. He is also a Board Director on The Healing Foundation, Yarra Valley Water, and Aboriginal Housing Victoria. Ian is also a sessional panel member on the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and Planning Panels Victoria. We play a segment from the Earth Matters show, providing Sasha Mainbridge's perspective on what she's learnt from life after a flood and the need to build back better after extreme weather events.

Listen to the full episode and more from the Earth Matters crew at 3CR.org.au/earthmatters or listen live on Sunday from 11 to 11:30AM. The show ends with a conversation between Edmi and Emily, one of the editors from Dissolution Magazine, a local radical print publication. (Dis)solution creates and publishes work to unravel the knots of injustice in the post-end-of-history Anthropocene. It turns a critical eye to the machinations of exploitation at the intersections of politic, culture, and ecology, and the crisis and contradiction that follows. (Dis)solution believes in work that analyzes our world without insularity, work that informs our everyday-political movement through the eroding topographies of the 21st century—not merely to understand it, but to change it.

Nartarsha Navanaga-Bamblett built her business by honouring culture and identity in a Western-dominated space. Her story shows the power of representation and how to stay true to who you are in business.When you are a First Nations person who's navigating a Western-dominated world, you enter unchartered territory. When you do that as a business person, things get turned up a notch.Challenges don't just come from a lack of precedent, they also come from “your own mob” questioning your journey.

Show Notes In this conversation, Simon and Mishel explore the significance of First Nations worldviews, and how through the modern worldview we have lost our relationships to the land and wider ecologies including our ancestors.  Mishel McMahon, a proud Yorta Yorta woman living on Djaara Country, northern Victoria, Australia, and shares her lived experience and her academic research to help us break out of our limited modern mindsets, where humans are the top of a chain of being, rather than part of an ecology of co-existence and interdependence.  She emphasizes the need to reconnect, the importance of relationality, and the concept of cyclical time. Michelle shares insights on how these perspectives can inform health and healing practices, and the conversation culminates in a call for re-enchantment and recognition of our interdependence with the world around us. Reflections First Nations worldviews offer a broader understanding of reality. Modern mindsets often reduce our connection to nature and each other. Relationality extends beyond human relationships to include all entities. Cyclical time emphasizes the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. Ancestors play a crucial role in decision-making and identity. Everything in nature is infused with spirit, creating a sense of family. Collective identity fosters collaboration and mutual support. Re-enchantment is necessary to combat disenchantment in modern life. Thinking is a communal practice, influenced by our surroundings. Connection to place is fundamental for personal and collective transformation. Keywords First Nations, worldviews, modernity, relationality, ancestors, cyclical time, ecosystems, collective identity, re-enchantment, connection to nature Bio Mishel McMahon is a casual Senior Research Fellow, Violet Vines Marshman Research Centre and proud Yorta Yorta woman living on Djaara Country, northern Victoria. Through First Nations-led research Mishel positions First Nations worldviews, concepts and processes for application within the health and healing sector, and research methodologies.

Is it the right call for the club to make? Why do we bother to acknowledge country at all – and does doing it distract us from real action institutions can take to fix inequalities between First Nations and non-Indigenous people in this country? Ian Hamm is a Yorta Yorta man and Chair of the First Nations Foundation. He joins Bension Siebert on this episode of The Briefing to unpack if he thinks Melbourne Storm has made the right call, and what impact this might have on other sporting codes and businesses and their relationship to First Nations Australians going forward.

The call for Treaty in this country stems as far back as European settlement.  Now, the Victorian government has started negotiations in what will be the first time a state or federal government in Australia has sat down with Aboriginal people on equal footing to reachTreaty. But in the wake of the failed referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, the Victorian opposition has withdrawn support for the process, raising concerns Victoria's Treaty process could be derailed after already coming so far. Today, Yorta-Yorta journalist and broadcaster Daniel James on what this moment means for Treaty, Truth and self-determination.

A roaring hour from one of the most vital talents in Naarm: First Nations producer Paul Gorrie, AKA DJ PGZ. The Gunai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta artist is a fixture of forward-thinking dance music in Australia, with releases on labels like Butter Sessions, Pure Space and !K7, as well as numerous club and festival gigs on the circuit. An international breakout moment now feels inevitable. There's much to be said about the lack of visibility and support for Indigenous artists within the global electronic ecosystem (we'll be publishing more on this soon), but at the root of all PGZ's disparate interests are community building and the advancement of marginalised peoples. To that end, DJ PGZ's RA Podcast is notably laced with multiple cuts from Nene H's Gaza fundraising compilation. It's distinctly fresh—the oldest track you'll find is from 2022—as he gallops through Kalahari-style wigged-out prog and techno, through to harder drum syncopations. Consider this a firm tip from us: PGZ is the truth. @dj-pgz Read more at ra.co/podcast/949

Australia is coming up to The Voice Referendum and apparently becoming more of a "divided nation" by the day. But why do First Nations people need a special mention in the constitution? Shouldn't the constitution cover them already? Have you ever tried to explain to someone what sexism is but they just can't see what you're saying? The sexism is so ingrained that it's invisible? What if racism is the same? That it's so deeply ingrained in our culture that we can't see it?  This is a hot topic in Australia at the moment: should our First Nations people have a say in policies and decisions that impact them? Isn't that like saying that it's necessary for women to be involved and consulted in the decisions and policies that impact women?  Yorta Yorta and Gunnai-Kurnai woman, Pamela Anderson, CEO of EMILY's List Australia, explains to us the history of First Nations people after colonisation, how trauma is passed down through the generations and talks about the systemic racism that most white people don't realise is present.   Timestamps: 02:06 - Introduction into Pamela's heritage & experiences as a First Nations person 05:26 - The impact & implications of "Terra Nullius" 14:47 - Issues with Australian Policy regarding First Nations people 16:35 - The Australian Constitution 20:09 - Why should our constitution specifically include First Nations people? 23:03 - Why would any First Nations people vote No? 23:57 - What is systemic racism? 33:13 - Why stolen generation is still happening 39:32 - Assimilation, trauma & substance abuse in First Nations communities     Find out more here: https://www.mmmpodcast.me/ep210

The first week of the referendum campaign started with an unmistakable voice: John Farnham. His iconic hit is now the anthem for “Yes” voters, who say their vote is about being on the right side of history.  For “No” voters, the ad is superficial – pandering to emotions rather than giving concrete reasons to support the Voice. Meanwhile, tactics from the opposition have included pitching a second referendum and undermining the “Yes” campaign's ad by pointing to a key lyric. Today, contributor to The Monthly and The Saturday Paper, Yorta Yorta man Daniel James on the early day strategies of both camps and the potential for things to become more toxic as the campaign proceeds.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper, Daniel James.

When Australia's most high-profile Indigenous journalist was forced to step away from his role because of racist abuse – it made headlines around the world.  But here in Australia, most of the media and our political leaders have struggled to comprehend the meaning of the moment – and appear to be trapped in a cycle of well-wishes, apologies and outright denial instead of taking action. Today, Yorta Yorta writer and contributor to The Saturday Paper Daniel James, on whether Australia is mature enough to have a national conversation about racism and justice for Indigenous people.
