Grandmothers Against Removals and Raise the Age - Taking Children Away

This morning’s programme features an extended discussion on The Mental Load – the invisible, enduring and boundaryless work impacting women, men, families and society. Three University of Melbourne sociologists Associate Professor Leah Ruppanner (Co-Director, The Policy Lab), Dr Liz Dean (Lecturer in Sociology) and Dr Brendan Churchill (Research Fellow and Program Manager of Life Patterns) together with host Professor Dan Woodman from the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne, unpack the nature of this unpaid cognitive and emotional work, explaining why it is so taxing and who is bearing the burden. They offer perspectives and frameworks for better understanding this under-researched facet of care-giving and bringing it to the attention of policy makers. This discussion was presented as part of the University of Melbourne School of Social and Political Science's Critical Issues webinar series 2021 and is reproduced with the permission of the University of Melbourne. Music Far Away - WolfjayLion in my Heart – Aimee HannanTell Me Why – Archie RoachPlayground of Youth – Misha BearSaltwater People – Shellie Morris

Claudia speaks with Dr Kaori Okano from LaTrobe University about the rise of single women in Japan and the film - Hold Me Back - which is screening as part of the Japanese Film Festival this week in Melbourne. Alice plays an interview with Sophie Trevitt, Executive Officer of Change the Record and the ACT Co-Chair of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights. In reflection of Friday's announcement of raising the age of child incarceration in Australia from 10 years old to 12 years old, Alice speaks to Sophie about the realities of child incarceration. Alice spoke to Sophie before Friday’s announcement, so throughout this conversation, you will hear the age being referred to as 10 years old, but, raising the age from 10 to 12, does not change the message behind this conversation - stop taking children away. Ella speaks with Pilar Aguilera, 3CR Chair person and activist with the Australian chapter of the National Campaign for Truth and Justice Chile. She gives us an update on the case of Adriana Rivas, who is a former secretary to the Chief of the infamous Secret Police, DINA, under the Pinochet era
