EP 025 - INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY ACTIVISM (ft. Karlie Noon & Tim Buchanan)

I speak to Gamilaraay astrophysicist, astronomer & legend Karlie Noon and Wiradjuri activist, writer & legend Tim Buchanan (Darsius) about INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY ACTIVISM off the back of friendlyjordies' stupid comments recently. Karlie tells me why trees - and more broadly, Indigenous sovereignty - is not the antithesis of science, coz she'd know. Tim talks about what Indigenous sovereignty activism is and why it's so important for myopic electoral/parliamentary politics types to get on board with it. FFS I LOVED THIS YARN.

Now we've got Pete the wellness neo-Nazi. Why didn't the world listen earlier?

I speak to Sophia, a healthcare worker and a mate, about her experience contracting - and not dying of - COVID-19. We talk about what it's like... the shocking treatment she received in Victorian Government hotel quarantine... the all-staff email she sent to an entire DHHS department just to get them to do something... and why she's currently got her face stuck in a big tin of Nescafe Blend 43

I chat to dedicated animal rights activist and friend Betty Melon, and learn about AR activism, consistent anti-oppression, the communication breakdowns that happen between AR and non-AR activists and how we might avoid them. Also we discuss far-right kooks who hang about AR rallies with raw steaks in their mouth clearly loving life, and various big-name vegan foghorns like Joey Carbstrong, Freelee the Banana Girl and Anonymous for the Voiceless - and how they don't represent consistent anti-oppression.

In this latest ep:

How to express concerns over Chinese surveillance state apparatus, and the threat of it coming over here, without falling into the company of unhinged conspiracy theorists? Can we ask questions about how China has handled the pandemic without playing into the hands of nationalists, racists and war hawks? Is there really a Chinese ad on TV promoting a 5G surveillance state? What's the HUMAN FLESH SEARCH ENGINE???

To answer these questions I talked to Dr Kaz, an Asian Studies researcher at an Australian university, about all things China. All this and more in this, the latest ep of WAR ROOM: PANDEMIC.
