072 - Senator Lidia Thorpe

This episode we spoke to Lidia Thorpe, Federal Greens Senator for Victoria. With so much going on this week with the Djab Wurrung Embassy, we wanted to ask Lidia about her experience on the ground when the police cleared the camps and tore down the Directions Tree.

We also got to hear her thoughts about Treaty, Indigenous deaths in custody, and how it is having to talk to Pauline Hanson. This episode is a break from our usual comedy format - we wanted to give listeners an insight on these issues from someone with a unique and important perspective.
