Terror attack at Boorloo Invasion Day rally

Police tactics at the Sydney Herzog protest

Valentine’s Day special!

A terrorism charge has been laid over an attempted bombing at the Invasion Day rally in Perth, nine days after the attack. Producer Pongyada Sootthipong speaks to Roxy Moore, Noongar organiser of the Boorloo Invasion Day rally, about the aftermath of violence on a day of mourning and solidarity for the First Nations community.

Anti Cop founder Tom Raue joins to break down the heavily criticised police tactics used on peaceful protesters in Sydney who were rallying against Israeli president Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia last Monday.

Jaded with the sight of roses and chocolates on Valentine's Day? Producer Gabriella Accaria spoke to couples about the consumerism and heteronormativity that come with the holiday.
