7:15 AM// The Convergence on Canberra from 20th-22nd July saw Palestine allies from across the nation come together to call upon the Australian government to impose sanctions on Israel in response to the state’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians. We hear from Remah Naji who spoke on July 22, the opening of Parliament. Remah was the Greens candidate for the Federal seat of Moreton. An education workers, community organiser and an activist, Remah moved to Australia 12 years ago after her parents were forcibly displaced twice from Palestine. In her powerful speech, Remah calls out the violence of settler colonial projects including so-called Australia, and the silence, complicity and lack of action from Australian politicians. Content warning: Listeners are advised that the following speech contains references to sexual violence. 7:30 AM// Margaret Beavis is a former GP who teaches medicine at Melbourne University. She is also Vice President of the Medical Association for the Prevent of War. Margaret joins us on the show today to speak on behalf of the organisers of a rolling hunger strike by healthcare workers for Palestine. This action, which is taking place across the continent, is demanding action from the Australian Government to end the forced-starvation and genocide in Gaza. The hunger strike is organised by a coalition of health worker groups including Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand Doctors for Palestine, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, and ANMF (Vic) Nurses and Midwives for Palestine. 7:45 AM// Maiy Azize, the National Spokesperson for Everybody’s Home, a national campaign dedicated to solving the housing crisis in Australia.

In this conversation, Scarlett discusses Youthlaw’s LegalPod and HeadsUp programs, which focus on supporting young people leaving out-of-home residential care, a cohort of the community who are unfairly over-criminalised and overrepresented in the criminal justice system.
