ALICE & OUTBACK
As usual we’ll kick off with a report from Daniel Witthaus as he continues his 38 week tour, challenging homophobia around Australia. Last week he had just arrived in Alice, but much has happened since then, as the tour passes the 100 day mark. http://www.thatssogay.com.au/
Daniel also spent some time with Phil Wallcott, who went to the Alice for two yeras and has now stayed 17. Phil is standing for election, his story is at http://philwalcott.com.au/
TEAM FABRIC
We are all, of course, sick to death of Jason Akermanis and his assertion that if a gay player came out it would ‘break the fabric’ of his footy club. We have the true story of what happened when a gay college football player in the US came out. You can hear it again here Really Long Link
SPORT PROJECT
The Australian Sports Commission has joined forces with the Victorian Equal Opportunity & Human Rights Commission in a new project to combat homophobia in sport. Victorian Human Rights commissioner Helen Szoke joins us with the latest. Really Long Link
