Northern Rivers ICU nurse returns from Gaza

Cass Lillis is from Crabbes Creek, she’d been struck down with a virus and had no home reception when she spoke to me yesterday from somewhere near Crabbes Creek but she sat in her car on the side of the road to share over the phone what she has seen and heard in a place where most reporters fear to tred: Gaza.

The second half of the program includes another special feature, a deep dive into how streaming platforms are impacting artists and the music scene in general in Australia.

And stay tuned for some good news when our cadet Emma Setterfield-Smith finds out what the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital plans to do with $2 million in recently announced federal funds, an election promise made and it seems kept by Labor Member for Richmond Justine Elliot.
