The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Defend The Unions Defend The CFMEU | Harm Reduction Victoria | IWWD Geelong |

6 weeks ago

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfasts show, on today's show:Interview with Nadia Gavin from Harm Reduction Victoria about keeping safe while using drugs, stigma, upcoming workshops and more In response to the recent 9 news report — first on 60 minutes, then The Age and other Fairfax outlets, spearheaded by Nick McKenzie — Monday Breakfast spoke to members of Defend The Unions, Defend The CFMEU. Last August, the CFMEU faced baseless allegations by Fairfax Media, leading to the reactionary measure by Albanese's Federal ALP government: to put the — not only the Victorian branch — but all CFMEU branches along the eastern coast of the continent into a government-approved administration. Hundreds of democratically-elected CFMEU were subsequently sacked on the spot with no right to reply. Esther Van Arend, an outspoken critic of the administration and staunch advocate for workers' rights in the union, was sacked under questionable circumstances after speaking to journalist Nick McKenzie outside a coburg cinema late last year. Esther was fired by the administration with no legal recourse, in any other circumstances this would be considered unfair dismissal and she has not yet had a right of reply. Rob spoke with Dusty, Amelia, Julie, and Janine, four rank and file members of the CFMEU and members of Defend the Unions Defend the CFMEU, a community group of rank and file CFMEU members, including a small handful of delegates plus community members in support of the union. Speech by Amy Ciara from Kill Your Lawn Kick Ya Fence, at the IWWD in Geelong covering transgender and environmental issues as they relate to unions.

Victoria's Tougher Bail Laws | Flemington's Public Housing Tower Redevelopment Update| Antipoverty Centre Analysis | Lost Property Fringe Festival Show |

7 weeks ago

—

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 17th of March 2025. On today's show: - Last Tuesday the Allan Government announced that the public housing tower in Flemington, whose residents are currently part of an ongoing class action lawsuit, will be demolished and redeveloped without any new public housing. The decision involves what the Victorian government calls the 'Ground Lease Model' whereby the land is leased to a private company who will design, build, manage and maintain the sites for forty years. Rob spoke with Flora from the Renters and Housing Union to tell us more about this shameful move from the Allan government. The interview mentions this RAHU Fundraiser for the Union's eviction fund, taking place this Saturday at Mamma Chen's from 7pm. It also mentions a Noongar-led campaign to have Sister Kate's land returned to Noongar people. You can read more about the campaign here. - We hear an excerpt of Rob's conversation with Buzz from the Covid Naarm bloc, who work to supply COVID PPE via mutual aid and community support. This interview is particularly timely considering Long Covid Awareness Day was on March 15th. Read about Long Covid here, and follow the Covid Naarm bloc here.- Hannah spoke with Amelia Dunn and Tuia Suter about their show Lost Property, to support their show go to artists.australianculturalfund.org.au and search lost property a one-woman show, or go to their instagrams @ameliardunn @tuiasuter - more upcoming shows will be coming to naarm later in the year, keep your eye out!- CW: This segment features discussion of Indigenous peoples' deaths in custody as well as naming Indigenous people who have died in custody. On Wednesday last week the Victorian Government announced it would toughen bail laws to make them the toughest in so-called Australia. Within these laws, the Allan government plans to reintroduce the offence of committing an indictable crime while on bail -- which was scrapped in 2023 following the coronial inquest into the death of Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Wiradjuri woman Veronica Nelson in custody. The coronial inquest found that Victoria's bail laws were a 'complete and unmitigated disaster' that disproportionately impacted First Nations people, women and children. Maggie Munn, First Nations Justice Director at the Human Rights Law Centre and proud Gunggari advocate from south-west Queensland joined us on the show to speak about these harmful bail laws. Maggie is deeply committed to ending the mass incarceration of their people, and has spent many years as an advocate and campaigning on First Nations children, raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility, and youth justice.Tomorrow at 4:30pm there will be a snap action for Poccum's Law outside Parliament Steps, organised by Flat Out.- The show ends with a conversation with Jay Coonan, spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a jobseeker recipient. Rob spoke with them about the latest report released by the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. The organisation is involved in this educational event providing tips on how to speak about poverty in the media ahead of the budget and the next Federal election. Read more about the event here.
