Trans Justice Alliance's Electoral Candidate Pledge to Protect Trans Rights; Queer History: Queer Punk Zines and Barracade Books (A Queer Histories, Queer Futures Excerpt)

Sunday, 20 April 2025 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

On this episode:

  • We heard an extract of 3CR's podcast series 'Queer Histories, Queer Futures'; where Richard Watts describes his past as a 'queer punk', and how this spurred him to create the Naarm based queer punk zine 'Burning Times' in 1995.
  • We discussed with Jackie Turner, of the Trans Justice Project, their campaign calling on Federal election candidates to make a public commitment to

    • protect trans youth from attacks on their health care,

    • make trans healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone who needs it,

    • support reforms that give trans people the same rights and protections as everyone else and

    • invest in trans lives by combatting homelessness, poverty, and unemployment.
