Monday Breakfast

Welcome back to another episode of the Monday Breakfast show on 3CR, bringing you news from across the radical left spectrum. With the episode airing on Labour Day, Rob spoke with Assistant Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions Joseph Mitchell to reflect on the union movement in so-called Australia and its achievements in the last year, as well as what Labour Day means to Joseph and the ACTU. Rob was then joined by Renee Nayef of Students For Palestine Victoria in the studio to discuss life as a student and young person advocating for a free Palestine as well as Students for Palestine Victoria’s upcoming school/ university walkout this Thursday 2pm at the State Library Victoria. Both students and non-students are encouraged to attend the event and occupy Melbourne’s streets for the cause of a free Palestine.We then heard Judith Peppard’s conversation with Lisa Deppeler founder of OCEAN (Otway Climate Emergency Action Network) and Mitch Pope, one of the coordinators of the Great Ocean Rescue Tour, about why the community is so opposed to seismic blasting in the Otway Basin and the actions being taken to have it stopped.
