We've got another guest on the blower from Queensland this week: Ian Curr. Ian was born in a private hospital and nearly died! Lucky for his Italian doctor (Aldo Castellani), the only one in the state. Ian has got up to all sorts of activist mischief in his life, including preventing freeways. Check out 'The Battle for Bowen Hills' on Vimeo. Ian was a lifelong unionist during his working life, including at the Australian Tax Office where he worked for many years. The ATO took the Murdoch family to court. He was eventually fired during the Howard government over a Dilbert cartoon he circulated in the office.
Ian was also cancelled from community radio station 4ZZZ after 10 years on 'The Paradigm Shift'. Ian has just completed 1200 kms as part of a collective of 63 unionists and supporters in a From Australian to Cuba with Love campaign trying to break the US blockade of Cuba. '4PR Voice of the People' originally a Brisbane pirate radio in 1978. It is a podcast show about class, culture and country. Thanks to Joe Toscano and Kelly Whitworth for arranging the interview. All power to 3CR and Radical Radio!
