Bail reform, Student belongong at university, Helping children speak using Warlpiri language, Labor's Housing Australia Fund bill

Wednesday Breakfast

Daniel Andrews has postponed urgently required bail reform for another 12 months. We revisit Claudia's conversation with Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service CEO Nerita Waight about why the reform is so necessary and why it is taking so long. With the semester starting already for many of us, I will be speaking with Dr Joseph Crawford senior lecturer in management at the University of Tasmania, discussing student belonging at university, and how students can feel settled and make friendships. Friday August 4th is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. We revisit a conversation with Dr Rikke on 'baby talks' using the Warlpiri language to help little kids to learn how to speak. Dr. Rikke Bundgaard-Nielsen is an experimental psycholinguist with a particular interest in acquiring and processing Australian Indigenous languages. Patrick speaks to 3CR Raise the Roof host Fiona York about what Labor's reintroduction of the Housing Australia Fund bill to parliament means for the housing crisis, and the potential for a double dissolution election if it does not pass a second time. Fiona also discusses the Housing for the Aged Report Launch event taking place on Thursday 10th August 2023 @ 12.15pm in Canberra and by Webex.
