New reporting from Lucy Martinez has revealed that Victoria Police knew nazis would attend the 'Let Women Speak' anti-trans rally in support of Kellie-Jay Keen before they arrived, contradicting claims they were unaware. Rob spoke with Lucy Martinez to understand what exactly Victoria Police knew and what else they uncovered in the process. Lucy Martinez is an independent journalist who covers trans plus issues in Naarm and so-called australia more broadly, writing for her website lucyfromnaarm.com.

Rob speaks with Buzz, member of the covid naarm mask bloc which has worked to supply masks, PPE and other medical supplies to the community through mutual aid and community efforts. You can donate to their cause here: https://chuffed.org/project/covidnaarm and follow their activities via instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/covidnaarm/

Following that we hear an excerpt of an interview from the Tuesday Hometime show last week, in which Jan spoke to Dr Sue Wareham, President of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW) about the health of the Palestinian people, both physical and psychological due to the latest Israeli war on Gaza and what the Australian government should be doing.

To hear the full interview and other incisive current affairs analysis, listen in to 3CR from 4-6pm every Tuesday, or find previous podcasts on our website by searching "Tuesday Hometime" on 3cr.org.au

The show ends with speeches from the Sunday Free Palestine Rally on February 9 in Naarm: Palestinian student and activist Nada spoke about her own experiences growing up in the West Bank, as well as about the importance of unity within our movement. After, Jordy Silverstein of Loud Jew Collective spoke on the environment of free speech suppression around Palestine activism in Australia.
