Against Our Oath and #Medivac in #auspol; Save the Tarkine; Digital Writers Festival

Wednesday Breakfast

Hosted by Eiddwen, Jess, Lois and Will [Segment times in brackets] || [18:14] The Digital Writers' Festival will be taking place between the 29th of October and the 2nd of November, but not in any city you know. Taking place almost entirely online, the DWF seeks to take a dive into the connection between writing and tech, bringing groundbreaking conversations to your computer or mobile device. Festival Artistic Director Izzy Roberts-Orr comes on the show to tell us all about the webinars, podcasts and more that you can access from the 29th of October at www.2019.digitalwritersfestival.com || [31:50] Protesters have been ejected from a coup slated for immediate logging in the pristine forests of the Tarkine region, North Western Tasmania. Scott from the Bob Brown foundation comes on the show to underline the importance of this natural lanscape and what can be done to save it from the voracious Tasmanian State Government. Follow the campaign to save the Tarkine at www.bobbrown.org.au || [1:01:36] This weekend will see the debut of Against Our Oath, a feature documentary covering the medical profession in opposition to Australia's inhumane asylum-seeker policy. Covering recent events including the threatened repeal of the Medivac Bill, we speak to documentary director Heather Kirkpatrick.
