Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 11th of August 2025. On today's show: Headlines: - Rising temperatures taking toll on students ability to learn, particularly affecting low income students and students in vulnerable communities- 400+ pro Palestine and anti-genocide protesters arrested in London - Hannah spoke with Violet Coco, member of the Defend Dissent Coalition about the upcoming rally tomorrow at 5:30pm outside Parliament house in support of the human, democratic right to protest.

Segments: - On Thursday last week Flat Out's Beyond Survival Project released a report revealing the widespread damage caused by Victoria Police's responses to family violence. The report does so through examining responses from 225 frontline workers, and calls for the urgent need to move away from policing and increase investment in community-led family violence responses. The Monday Breakfast show was joined by Lauren Caulfield, who is the Coordinator of the Beyond Survival Project and co-author of the report. Read more about the great and extremely urgent work Flat Out and the Beyond Survival Projecthere. And read the aforementioned report here. - Hannah spoke with Jess Morrison from Quakers Australia about the call for more transparency on Australia's weapons exports. - Last week a report released by the Commonwealth Ombudsman exposed that between 2022 and 2024 almost a thousand people had their welfare payments unlawfully cut by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (or DEWR) responded to the report by thanking the Ombudsman for its insights and accepted all of its recommendations. To help us unpack the report, the Monday Breakfast show was joined by Jay Coonan of the Anti Poverty Centre. Music: Oh Bondage Up Yours! by Xray Spex Who's Got a Padlock and Chain by The Lurkers
