For this week's episode of Uprise Radio, Mercedes talks with Leandra, Southern Arrernte woman living on Widjabul Wia-bal country at Terania Creek.
Leandra shares her experience of the flood disaster, the community response and the total lack of state support. The floods are discussed within the broader context of climate collapse, we discuss what lessons can be learnt from such disasters and how communities can prepare as they become more frequent and intense.

Tune in to 3CR Community Radio || 855AM || 3CR DIGITAL at 5:30pm today, or listen back via your preferred listening apps.

"Yeah. Basically there’s no point waiting around for safety from some external source like the so-called Australian government. Climate change is here now. These events are predicted to increase in intensity and frequency and that has definitely not been disproved over the last few years, where we have just seen it unfold. Basically, learning from this experience, if we sit around and wait for help it’s not gonna come. We need to get organised in our communities. A big part of that is networking, who’s your neighbours, communicating with people, what are the risks in the areas you live in, community resilience on an emotional level as well as a tactical level. Have emergency response plans if there are any particular hazards in your area like fires or floods. I imagine it’s only going to keep getting worse so yeah, we better get organised and prepared because its basically up to us." - Leandra

On Uprise Radio tonight: the first in a two part special on Australia's growing Prison Industrial Complex.

Did you know that NSW and VIC are commiting $BILLIONS$ to expand prison units and beds, while nearly every catagory of violent crime has decreased since 2000?*

Tonight we are joined by Sydney based anti-prison activist and writer Paul Gregoire to discuss the government's addiction to prison spending. We also touch on why alternarives to prison are so rarely conidered, despite report after expert report showing how ineffective they are.

Next epsiode we will talk to committee members of Homes not Prisons about the expansion of VIC women's prison DPFC, and the links between slashed social supports and prison popualtions.

You can read some of Paul's writing below and you can tune in tonight @ 5:30pm on 3CR Community Radio. Podcast published at 6pm.

*The only catagory of violent crime to have increased since 2000 is gendered violence - which may be linked to increases in reportage
