National Talkblack 300420

We had:

Leah Cameron, Principal Solicitor at Marrawah Law talking about surveillance in the workplace. Surveillance of employees is becoming increasingly prevalent in many workplaces, with the assistance of advances in technology, tune in to hear Leah discuss the rights of employees and employers to record in the workplace.

Andy Saunders, comedian community influencer and Stop it at the Start campaign supporter talking about how the Australian Government has launched the third phase of the national campaign to reduce violence against women, Stop it at the Start. The campaign encourages adults to positively influence the attitudes and behaviours of young people aged 10-17 by role modelling positive behaviour, calling out disrespect and starting conversations about respect. It aims to unite the community around positive actions everyone can take to break the cycle of disrespect, and ultimately, violence against women. If you or someone you know is experiencing or at risk of domestic, family or sexual violence contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit 1800RESPECT.org.au

Shakira Clanton, an Indigenous actor and singer talking about her taking the stage at Darlinghurst Theatre to share stories from her extraordinary life in ‘Still, I Rise’, a memorable evening of live music, yarning and laughs. ‘Still, I Rise’ traverses a range of Clanton’s life experiences; from the racism and sexism she’s faced as a woman of colour in the creative industry, the lessons her single mother tried to impart on her as a teenager, to getting hitched in 2019 and spending the first of marriage in lockdown with her new husband.
