The Weekend Briefing with special guest Andrew Denton

The Weekend Briefing with special guest Andrew Denton

Welcome to a special weekend edition of The Briefing with guest Andrew Denton. Andrew is one of Australia’s most loved media identities and after losing his father to a painful death a few years ago he’s been Australia’s most vocal advocate for assisted dying. Andrew is passionate about having a choice about how we die and has been working to bring in Assisted Dying Laws so none of us have to go through that. He’s travelled the world seeing how the laws work in some of the six other countries that allow it. Since Andrew has been advocating, Victoria has passed Voluntary Assisted Dying laws and yesterday marked one year since the scheme began. Today we're joined by Andrew to see how he thinks the laws are working, and if the rest of Australia will follow suit. How does Andrew think the laws are working? What is stopping other states in Australia passing these laws? Does he see any cultural changes around this issue? Why he thinks it will be inevitable that the laws will be Australia Wide. Andrew Denton is the founder and director of Go Gentle Australia https://www.gogentleaustralia.org.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we fix the broken relationship between police and Indigenous Australia?

How do we fix the broken relationship between police and Indigenous Australia?

The record breaking protests in the US have rightly put questions about the way Australia’s indigenous people are treated by police back on the agenda. Indigenous incarceration rates here in Australia are on the rise, and First Nations people are now more likely to be locked up than African-Americans. One recommended way of fixing this problem is by increasing the number of Indigenous people in the police force. In todays Briefing we take you to Australia’s first all Indigenous police station in a small community 300kms west of Uluru featured in the film ‘Our Law’. We catch up with the film’s director Cornel Ozies and one its stars Sergeant Wendy Kelly - an Indigenous police officer who was working at the station and helping improve the way the police force engages with Indigenous people. Today's Headlines: Chris Lilley shows & Little Britian pulled down over blackface Ruby Princess inquiry hears passengers “had flights to catch” Aussie gyms rush to cut ties with Crossfit after CEO resigns Police to take legal action over more planned protests In todays episode we ask: What have the police done wrong in the way they’ve dealt with Indigenous people? What is the key difference being Indigenous police officer? Is there an instant trust that a non-indigenous person wouldn’t have?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
