The Sunday Paper Podcast

Last season, we focused on playing pieces from Issues One to Three of The Sunday Paper.

This season we are going to be furthering the conversation on resistance and anti-imperial struggles around the world.

We’re starting off close to home this week, with an on-the-ground report from a protest that happened in Canberra last Monday.

Before I start this story I should explain for international listeners that Aboriginal Nations on this continent were invaded and occupied in 1788 by the British Empire. The Indigenous people never ceded their sovereignty, so this country is still illegally occupied with the current King Charles as the supposed head of state

King Charles has been visiting this colony in the past week and in response, The Black People’s Union, along with other grass roots Aboriginal groups and individuals, organised protests to ‘unwelcome’ the King at each location of his visit.

I drove up to Canberra to join the protest there.

This episode was made on Ngunnawal, Ngambri and Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues, as does Indigenous resistance.

Our theme music was made by DOBBY.

This episode also features the track ‘Inglan is a Bitch’ by Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Our executive producer is Matt Chun.

The Sunday Paper Podcast is compiled, mixed and edited by me, Mell Chun.
