This Sunday on Q***ring The Air, we’re excited to welcome both cofounders of Q***r Muslim Naarm, Sasja Sÿdek and Abdulrahman Katamish, known as Boudie. They will share insights about the upcoming Q***r Iftars as Ramadan approaches. With the holy month just around the corner, they have been actively working to secure funding, venues, and catering for these special q***r community Iftar events throughout the month. This year marks their second time organising these meaningful gatherings. During the episode, you’ll learn about the motivations that inspire them to persist in hosting these Iftars, some fun and intriguing facts about Q***r Muslim Naarm, and the significance of this once-a-year event. We’ll also discuss the various organisations that have shown their support and why their backing is so important, while they also support other organisations to lead and create more q***r Iftars during the Ramadan period. Tune in for an engaging conversation that promises to shed light on the vibrant and essential work they’re doing!

We are understandably concerned about what we see happening in the United States of America, and feel solidarity for our q***r comrades in that country. However, on this Sunday's Q***ring The Air, Madison Moffat will ponder: to what extent are we aware of the political threats at home, as presented by the stance of our own main conservative political party?

Parliamentary voting patterns of the current Federal Opposition Leader will be discussed, in an effort to fairly assess what it may mean for q***r folk if our own Liberal Party of Australia was to regain power at the next election, to be held on 17th May 2025 at the latest.

Also:
Q***r public speaking showcased via the TIPS program, reflections of the speakers of No Racism In Pride, gathering to celebrate the launch of the Q***r Histories Q***r Futures podcast and speaking 'loud and q***r' at the Midsumma Truth to Power Cafe.

This Sunday, we will welcome Jeremy Goldstein, the creator of Truth to Power Café, to discuss this impactful theatrical work that delves into themes of loss, hope, and resistance. The piece will premiere at the Midsumma Festival, showcasing powerful expressions of Q***r Power. It poses the essential question, “Who has power over you, and what do you want to express to them?” Participants will share courageous stories covering topics such as eroticism, criminal justice, addiction, identity, grief, religion, disability, patriarchy, the body, unrequited love, survival, bullying, and coming out, resulting in a unique and timely celebration of time, place, and community.

We are also excited to announce that our co-host, Sasja Sÿdek, has been chosen to perform on February 6th. This remarkable event will span two days, showcasing an array of talented artists and engaging performances. For more information and specific details about the performances, please see the information provided below.

We hope you got to experience the live coverage of Invasion Day - 26th January, where the 3CR team was on site, bringing you the atmosphere of the event through their microphones. Always was always will be Aboriginal land.

Tune in with our host, Sasja as she will be live broadcasting from the studio, for this Sunday’s, special episode on Q***ring The Air; Aunty Mads and Seena will be at the oval in St Kilda at 9:30 AM for their VoxPop segment, talking to participants in the Pride March. Unfortunately, this year, the largest transgender organisations in Victoria have withdrawn from the Pride March in protest against the Victorian Police, as we felt our transgender identity has been stripped away from us this year. This issue has persisted for decades, and we couldn’t risk any possibility of violent confrontations between anti-police protesters and law enforcement. It was a significant moment for the q***r community when Victoria Police announced they wouldn’t be marching this year, yet it felt disheartening when we spoke to some of the q***r community members after the news broke. Aunty Mads and Seena will not only cover the colorful aspects of the event but also explore community perspectives on the progress with VicPol. Do you think violent protests could still occur even without VicPol’s involvement? Stay tuned to find out!

From Trans Justice Alliance Victoria
As many of you know, Victoria Police have announced that they will not participate in the Midsumma Pride March as a marching group. Trans Justice Alliance Victoria congratulates all relevant fellow LGBTIQA+ service, advocacy and activist groups who have worked towards this outcome, many of which have been doing so for years. TJAV wish to continue working with these groups and in particular the grassroots groups we engaged in the past few weeks, to achieve just outcomes in other areas of community policing for the trans and wider q***r community. We also thank Midsumma themselves for attending our recent TJAV gathering, in the spirit of listening to community.

Victoria Police ceasing, as an organisation, to march at the Midsumma Pride March was Demand 1 of 3 Demands that Trans Justice Alliance Victoria have issued to the Victorian Police. We wish to extend an appreciation for work conducted by Vic Pol representatives of their LGBTIQA+ Portfolio Reference Group that has brought about this result. As per our pre-amble to Demand 1, we feel it was the only decision an institution aiming to maintain public safety could make; but we are none-the-less certain that it took a lot of work internally within Vic Pol to attain it.

We now call upon Victoria Police to apply themselves to Demand 2 and Demand 3 with haste. Our trans brethren continue to suffer from the gross failures in justice administration that those two other demands point to. Until Demand 2 is met, we will have no clear indication of how poorly Vic Pol currently serves the trans community, or be able to track any improvements made. Until Demand 3 is met, Victoria Police will continue to have no legitimacy in their policing of trans persons; remaining dangerously unfamiliar and uninformed regarding trans issues.

They’ll touch on a variety of q***r events lined up and reflect on what Sasja experienced over her summer break. This is not just a casual chat; it’s an opportunity for all of us to engage in meaningful conversations about the issues that matter in our community.

And don’t miss out on our “What’s the T C*nty?” segment, where we’ll unpack the latest hot topics in the q***r world. With loads of engaging content, insights, and entertaining discussions, this episode promises to be a highlight of the season.
