We listened to Marisa's interview with Arif Hussein, Senior Lawyer at Human Rights Law Centre, on Monday 19 May for 3CR's Doin' Time Show. They discussed the parliamentary inquiry and grassroots push for a comprehensive Human Rights Act in South ''australia'', and the momentum needed to enshrine these protections in federal legislation. Currently in so-called ''australia'', the only jurisdictions with Human Rights Acts are Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, and Queensland. Catch Doin' Time every Monday from 4-5PM on 3CR 855AM.// Professor Glenn Savage: Professor of Education Futures at the University of Melbourne//
Professor Glenn Savage, Professor of Education Futures at the University of Melbourne, joined Priya earlier this week to discuss deepening inequities in public school funding and how responsibility is split between the federal and Victorian governments. The conversation follows last week’s Victorian state budget, where the Allan Government delayed meeting its responsibilities to adequately resource state schools. Glenn discusses the impacts of these funding gaps on public school students, staff, and leaders, and explains how intergovernmental politics are shaping access to well resourced schools, opportunities, and quality education. As a policy sociologist, Glenn brings expertise in education reform, federalism, and global policy mobility.// Jalees Hyder: Kashmiri writer, poet, teacher, survivor//
