1.11 - Inescapable Plus+ Podcast - ANZAC Struggle Session

This episode, Australians fought back. At ANZAC Day dawn services across Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, crowds booed Welcome to Country speeches for the second year running. People were arrested. Two former ADF members were detained before the service began. A 24-year-old faces court in June for committing a nuisance at a war memorial. The boos got louder anyway.

We look at how a token cultural gesture became a mandatory humiliation ritual at the one day Australians hold sacred, and at the man at the centre of it: Uncle Mark Brown, a professional Aboriginal who proclaimed that Charlie Kirk deserved to be murdered.

Also this week: a Chinese national convicted of killing his wife wins his appeal to stay in Australia. A Nepalese childcare worker is charged with slapping toddlers. An Indian Uber driver falls asleep at the wheel, kills a seven-month-old baby, and gets his bail conditions loosened so he can drive freight trucks. And a new British drama asks the age-old question: will the nun leave her vows for the pious Black pastor?
