Indymedia – 10TH of March 2025

Join Alex Whisson for a new edition of the Indymedia Show!

In honor of International Women’s Day, we look to the archives for an interview with Robynne Murphy.
Murphy, director of the documentary film ‘Women of Steel‘ & one of the leaders of Wollongong’s Jobs for Women Campaign, chats to Alex about the film and the impact it had.
‘Women of Steel‘ details Wollongong’s Jobs for Women Campaign (1980-1994), where hundreds of migrant/working-class women came together to take on BHP.
Initially the campaign seemed to have won, but after the 1983 Steel Slump devastated the city’s economy; the women were forced into the courtroom and onto the streets to face a prolonged battle for equality.

The Western Australian State Elections were held on the 8TH of March 2025 and whilst votes are still being officially counted; The Roger Cook led Labor Government (ALP) won for a third consecutive term.
This is the first time that a party has won a third consecutive term since 1989, with the result being labelled a “landslide”.

Plus the news the mainstream media didn’t talk about.

Join us next week for a new episode of the Indymedia Show!
