New podcast shines a light on social justice challenges

Community organisation the Brotherhood of St Laurence has launched a new podcast, called Brotherhood Talks.

Executive Director Conny Lenneberg said the podcast is drawn from public seminars hosted by the Brotherhood of St Laurence Research and Policy Centre, and covers a wide range of social policy topics, as well as important research and debates.

The first three episodes explore what to do about declining housing affordability and rising homelessness, social justice implications of moves to address climate change, and Australia’s progress on targets set in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals on inequality, poverty, education and other key areas.

Upcoming episodes will examine topics such as how people with disability are faring under the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the future direction of the Productivity Commission, and issues affecting refugees and those seeking asylum in Australia.

‘The podcast makes these important conversations accessible to a wider audience,’ Lenneberg said. ‘Through Brotherhood Talks we aim to shine a light on social justice challenges of critical importance for all of us.’
