Hi everyone. Today’s episode is a very important one. We want to use this platform to provide some information on why we believe that Australia Day should not be celebrated on January 26, if at all. This week, we encourage you to spend the time you would normally spend listening to our podcast educating yourself on this topic, listening to the voices of Indigenous Peoples and having this important conversation with others in your life.
If you would like us to add any useful links to the list below, please email us at asktbhpodcast@gmail.com and we will update it.
