About this listen

 In episode three of 'Democracy After Disaster,' we delve into the historical impact and aftermath of the devastating Black Friday bushfires in 1939, acknowledging the deep history of indigenous fire management practices, ignored by the colonists at their peril. The episode then tracks across the 20th century exploring changes in community-government relationships, the activism and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and the evolving landscape of disaster recovery and democracy in Australia.
