Jay Coonan who conducts Research & Policy for the Antipoverty Centre joined us for the second part of our interview on Centrelink debt waivers, that were announced 27 August. Kristin joined Tuesday Breakfast this week to talk about the impact of Centrelink debt through a F/DV and gendered lens and Jay joined us to follow up with how we can go about building new systems on how to resolve debt issues in the social security system and how this could be an important first step towards that. 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. A lawful “debt” is rarely a fair debt.// Scobie McKay - Whatsdoingmedia//

Today we’re checking back in on a story that inspired so many Australians — the Afghan women’s football team. 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//
