Ep 111. Defending Indigenous Rights and NAIDOC Week
First to air on 2ser 8th July 2010
Presented by James
Presented by James
This week is NAIDOC week, a celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Whilst NAIDOC week is now largely a celebration, its past is strongly linked with Indigenous protests against colonialism and discrimination. Thus it is fitting that during this NAIDOC week Indigenous groups in the Northern Territory have organised the “'Defending Indigenous Rights: Land, Law, Culture ' Convergence. The conference is a meeting of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people from all over the country to discuss the implications of the Northern Territory 'Intervention' and ongoing human rights abuses and discrimination of Aboriginal peoples.
The Third Degrees Jess and Tessa are in Alice Springs for the Conference and have brought us audio from a couple of speakers who spoke at a NAIDOC event in Alice this week ahead of the 'Defending Indigenous Rights' Conference. During the show this week you will hear from Barbara Shaw, who is from the Nancy Town Camp outside of Alice Springs and Steve Gumerungi Hodder, senior journalist at central Australian aboriginal media association.
In this week Show we also played the following great song by the PI Boyz - Aboriginal Justice. It was produced with Desert Pea Media and Smugglers of Light.

National Day of Action
February 13th will mark the 2nd anniversary of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's National Apology to the Stolen Generations. However, Indigenous Australians across the country are still campaigning against ongoing Northern Territory Intervention policies and the continued failure to reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act. On the 13th there will be a National Day of Action calling for an end to the NT Intervention and income quarantining, as well as demanding Aboriginal controlled housing, jobs and services for all communities.
The 3rd Degree's Libby King spoke to leader of the Intervention Rollback Action Group and resident of Mount Nancy town camp, Barbara Shaw, and Monique Wiseman from the Stop the Intervention Collective Sydney.

A roving street party in newtown! It's about time that we celebrate our community, local art & music, and the potenial of our neighbourhoods. Together we can see our public streets as meeting places and open areas of community engagement instead of transit routes dominated by cars. The goal is to have a totally free community event celebrating vibrant local creativity. There will be bands, sound systems and installations along the way, ending up in a beautiful lost alleyway of the inner west. Bring your friends, drums, mobile sound systems, couches on wheels, bikes, skateboards, picnic rugs and drinks. Meet at The HUB in Newtown Square, opposite the train station at 2pm.

Ep. 33 Poznan, White Paper, International Day of Human Rights + more
Aired on 2ser 11th December
Click to download: Ep. 33 Poznan, White Paper, International Day of Human Rights + more
Poznan
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) - which include countries most at risk from climate change impacts - has made a plea for the world to commit to a strong action plan on climate change at the United Nations talks currently underway in Poznan, Poland. Yesterday Australia was awarded first in the "fossil of the day" awards for countries which attempt to undermine the progress of the negotiations. Third Degree's Jessica Minshall speaks with John Hepburn, Climate Campaigner with Greenpeace.
This week's guest: Owen Pascoe from the Australian Conservation Foundation breaks down the figures and targets that Australia should be aiming for at Poznan, in the White Paper (to be released next Monday 15th December) and at Copenhagen next year. He shares the latest information from climate campaigners in Poznan for the talks.
International day of HR
The NT Intervention is still being rolled out in the NT, despite a recent review and Rudd's election promise to replace the “emergency” legislation with genuine consultation with Aboriginal communities. The Intervention involves the suspension of the racial discrimination act, which is a blemish of Australias human rights record. Wednesday was the International Human Rights Day celebrating the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human rights. Third Degree's Hannah Walters spoke with Alison Vivian from the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning.
