Zane discusses of personal experience of being sent a Centrelink Robo-debtZane discusses article by Ken Canning “January 26 is invasion day”. Ken is a poet and playwright from the Kunja clan of the Bidjara nation in Queensland and currenly lives in Sydney and is helping organise the invasion day protest there. "I have always been of the belief that once you can overturn the colonial mentality consuming our governments— resulting in the continued denial of justice of First Nations peoples and the oppression we all live under — you will, in effect, overturn the same mentality that is keeping 90% of our population prey to the whims of big business-run governments. On January 26, come and join us, walk with us and learn from us. For far too long, knowledge in this country has been confined to the world of academia. We, the First Nations peoples, carry a knowledge as old as time itself. Yes, we are protesting but we are all more than willing to share with those who walk with us." - KCZane discusses article by Fremantle councillor Sam Wainwright “Australia day: Change the date”. Sam discusses Fremantle council's decision to cancel the Jan 26 fireworks and why this caused such an outcry amongst right wing media and politicians. "Our purpose in dropping January 26 should be to focus on the changes we need to make if want a morejust and inclusive society for all." -SWZane interviews Petrina Harley, Lisen here. campaigner with the Save Beeliar Wetlands campaign in Western Australia and Socialist Alliance candidate in the upcoming WA elections.

Zeb discusses the process of making the film and how rather than seeking to again highlight the vast and egregious abuses happening in Australia’s detention gulags, it instead looks at the human face of people in these prisons and those who organise to get them out. Listen here.Zane interviews Ewen Kloas, secretary of the Australian Unemployed Workers union, about the upcoming ‘Dignity not debt’ rally happening on Tuesday Jan 31. Ewen discusses the punitive and unjust nature of the robo-debt system and how it has caused immense distress to welfare recipients, several of whom have contacted the Unemployed Workers Union in a suicidal state. The AUWU is campaigning to have the robo-debt system abolished and a bunch of organisations have endorsed the Jan 31 rally. Listen here.­
