Episode 50 - Threads of Time (Griffith University)

October 31, 2025 • Junction Journalism

For our 50th episode, journalism students from Griffith University look back…and forward. They take us back to events in 1975 to report on the enduring influence of The Dismissal and the land rights movement in Australia. And we trace the echoes of those stories through our 50 episodes to present day issues about food security and sustainable fashion. From old fabric to new futures, how the past is stitched into the present.
