This week’s episode brings you the conversation I had with some other generational voices at a live event at the public library in my home town, Warrnambool.

Alongside Zoomer and journalist Sharna Rogers, Xer and psychologist Dr. Jodie Fleming and Baby Boomer and celebrated aid worker Bob Handby AO, I discussed three big topics I explore in my book I, Millennial: housing, work and the climate crisis, and how these issues play out for Australians of different ages. The conversation was moderated by the brilliant Ailiche Goddard-Clegg, and it was a bloody great chat, with plenty of insights and laughs.

Thanks to Collins Booksellers and the Warrnambool Library for making it happen, and to everyone who came along, including my mum and dad.

Oh hello. I am back again. Look at us.

This week I’m bringing you another taste of my debut book I, Millennial: One Snowflake’s Screed Against Boomers, Billionaires & Everything Else, which is now out and about in the world. This is an extract from the chapter on privatisation – “From Our Warm, Public Hands” – which lays out just how much of our public shit has been flogged off, goddammit.

You can find out more about the book – and order it as an audiobook, ebook or hardcopy – here. 

I’m doing some book-based events across the country; all the details are here.

Craig “Fozzy” Foster is a former Socceroo who has become not only one of Australia’s most respected sports commentators and broadcasters, but also one of our most respected social justice advocates and human rights campaigners.

This episode is Craig’s keynote speech at the 2022 Refugee Legal Annual Dinner, which I happened to MC online. It’s followed by a brief Q&A between Craig, myself, and Refugee Legal’s Executive Director (and former LIASYO guest) David Manne.

Fozzy is extremely dedicated and clear-sighted when it comes to the fight for human rights – for refugees, for women, for workers, for sportspeople, for everyone – and this speech was a great reflection on the various campaigns he’s been involved with, and the state of human rights on Australia and across the world right now. It was especially enlightening to hear Craig discuss the human rights issues surrounding the World Cup in Qatar, and how massive sporting events can sometimes provide massive opportunities to advocate for greater human rights protections.
