Community Noticeboard

The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM

 

Title: Mark Holden – Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Mathilda) (*from 0:34 mins)

Description: Mark Holden, former pop star, songwriter, Australian Idol judge and barrister, has recorded a version of Tom Traubert's Blues as a tribute to Matilda Bee Britvan, the youngest victim of the Bondi Beach massacre. “This record is the postcard to my future grandchildren,” Holden told the Australian Jewish News. “It’s a box of photographs. A story about family.”

 

 

Title: Peter Lavac – I could never stay doing nothing; it’s in my DNA (*from 9:22 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkelspeaks with prominent Sydney criminal barrister, Peter Lavac, about his public support for Israel and the Australian Jewish community. Peter talks about the principles that guide his life and how these tie in with his fight against antisemitism in Australia and disinformation about Israel. He also provides an update on the progress he is making on a documentary film designed to dispel prejudices about Israel. Peter describes the importance of being nominated for the 2026 Sydney Award in the Unsung Hero category and, should he win, how that will help him in his ongoing fight for justice for Israel and Australia’s Jewish population.

 

 

Title: KAN English News Flash – September 02, 2026 at 2PM IDT (*from 26:33 mins)

Title: Tim Storrier – Antisemitism is part of official government [arts] policy (*from 34:07 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkelspeaks with acclaimed Australian artist Tim Storrier, winner of the 2012 Archibald Prize, whose work is held by major Australian and international galleries, about the state of the arts in Australia and its impact on local Jewish creatives. Tim describes how government involvement through policies and funding negatively influence creativity and originality, so producing state-approved art that is a form of propaganda, as evidenced by many decisions of Creative Australia. Amid rising anti-Israel sentiment and antisemitism, indirect government funding of the Arts has contributed to the silencing of Jewish voices, their art’s messages, and public dissent from arts-institution leaders. Tim introduces the term, “post-aesthetic” art: work judged less by its form or design than by its political message and the identity of its creator. Listeners are encouraged to read Tim’s article, ‘Sinister culture’ marginalising Jewish voices in Australian arts, which appeared in the February 18th 2026 edition of The Australian newspaper.
