Indymedia – 28TH of April 2025
Join Raymond Grenfell for a brand new episode of the Indymedia show!
Sending our best wishes to Alex Whisson, who is currently unwell.
United Workers Union paramedics are currently engaging in Industrial action after they’ve seen their wages fall by 9%, amongst other conditions, whilst they’ve worked to protect Western Australia from Covid and other serious issues we face.
Paramedics are asking for better pay and conditions, with many paramedics working 13-17 hour shifts with no meal breaks, unable to participate in regular community activities and also being limited to spending Christmas with their families once every 7 years.
Rebecca Thompson, Senior Organiser for the United Workers Union, joins the show to chat with Ray.
4ZZZ’s Andy Payne, spoke with Mahnaz Abbasi, a Brisbane woman who decided to use online technology to enable girls in Afghanistan to learn together.
Abbasi founded Daneshland, which celebrates their one year anniversary, and was behind the inspiration for the exhibition at Inala Art Gallery, “Still Waiting, Still Fighting”
Also joining the show is Megan Krakouer, current WA Senate candidate for the party, Australia’s Voice.
