During the rally, a small group of protestors spoke about how the military supply chain supporting israel's genocide in Palestine includes numerous 'australian' logistics firms. Multiple ‘australian’ companies, including Toll Holdings, have been identified transporting weapons for export to the United States where they are used to drive the genocide in partnership with weapons manafacturers such as Thales. Toll has also been a key partner in supporting the Australian Federal Police, fossil fuel companies' destruction of Indigenous land, and in the logistics apparatus enabling human rights abuses in offshore detention on Manus Island and Nauru. Find out more about Toll's complicity by visiting https://tolldeath.noblogs.org/, For Autonomy Destroy Australia on Instagram, and via this post. The track you can hear in the background of the rally recordings is Tahiyati by acclaimed Palestinian lyricist Haykal. We play part one of Race Matters’ (FBI Radio) Kanaky Rising episode, which originally aired on 23 Feb 2025. In this episode, Ethan and Shareeka spoke to Roscoe, a special rapporteur for Radio RATA, a decolonial media, culture and mutual aid network operating across the Pacific. Roscoe has been pivotal in establishing networks and connections with the Indigenous people of Kanaky (so-called New Caledonia) in their fight against the French occupation to reclaim their land. Through his work we learn that colonial systems are not the only thing that can duplicate and expand borders -- so can Indigenous knowledge and solidarity. A special thank you to Ethan Lyons and Shareeka Helaluddin for sharing this audio with us. Listen to Race Matters from 10-11AM on Sundays on FBI, and follow them on Instagram.Race Matters played some of our Beyond the Bars programming last week - listen to 'Radio for Alchemy' here. Race Matters also broadcast a more personal interview with Thursday Breakfast’s Inez last year - listen to 'The Sacredness of Anger and Uprising' here. Content note: this interview includes discussion of experiences of mandatory offshore detention, which may be distressing to some listeners. For support, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Callback Service on 1300 659 467. Laura John, an Associate Legal Director at Human Rights Law Centre, and Leila, who spent years detained in Nauru while seeking asylum in Australia, discuss the ongoing injustice of mandatory offshore detention upheld by the Albanese government. This regime has affected thousands of people seeking asylum, subjecting them to both the trauma of offshore processing and the violence of indefinite visa uncertainty. Leila, who fled to Australia with her mother, is using a pseudonym in this interview to protect her identity. Jorge Jorquera joined us to discuss community resistance against the punitive, anti-homeless 'Melbourne Model' that has just been adopted by the City of Maribyrnong. The 'Melbourne Model' involves the use of bylaws and local laws officers to remove people deemed "undesirable," and has been described as a "war on the poor." Jorge is Coordinator of Borderlands Cooperative, a lifelong socialist activist, and a former City of Maribyrnong Councillor.
