Last season, we focused on playing pieces from Issues One to Three of The Sunday Paper.
This season we are going to be furthering the conversation on resistance and anti-imperial struggles around the world.
We’re starting off close to home this week, with an on-the-ground report from a protest that happened in Canberra last Monday.
Before I start this story I should explain for international listeners that Aboriginal Nations on this continent were invaded and occupied in 1788 by the British Empire. The Indigenous people never ceded their sovereignty, so this country is still illegally occupied with the current King Charles as the supposed head of state
King Charles has been visiting this colony in the past week and in response, The Black People’s Union, along with other grass roots Aboriginal groups and individuals, organised protests to ‘unwelcome’ the King at each location of his visit.
I drove up to Canberra to join the protest there.
This episode was made on Ngunnawal, Ngambri and Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues, as does Indigenous resistance.
Our theme music was made by DOBBY.
This episode also features the track ‘Inglan is a Bitch’ by Linton Kwesi Johnson.
Our executive producer is Matt Chun.
The Sunday Paper Podcast is compiled, mixed and edited by me, Mell Chun.

We are continuing to play you pieces that appear in Issue Three of The Sunday Paper. This week we are playing the first article, titled ‘Tarakum’.
This piece was written by a Palestinian PhD candidate in political science who, for his safety, has chosen to write under the pseudonym ‘Nabil Mustafa’.
This piece, about The events of October 7th and Palestinian resistance doctrine, is particularly important to Issue Three.
The Sunday Paper project was revived specifically to confront the reluctance of progressive publishers on this continent to support or discuss the necessity of armed resistance.
As it says in the editorial statement. “While outwardly supportive of Palestinian rights, and perhaps even self described as radically anti-colonial, many progressive publishers, platforms and organisations will quietly erase words like ‘martyr’ or ‘intifada’ and will quickly withdraw their support at the mention of armed liberation struggle”.
If you haven’t already, go back and listen to the full editorial statement in the introductory episode, for a complete explanation of Issue Three’s conceptual basis.
This piece is read by Jeanine Mohanned.
The Sunday Paper and Podcast remain not for profit, independent and reader and listener supported.
This episode was produced on Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues as does Indigenous Resistance.
Our theme music was made by DOBBY.
You also heard the track ‘Liberation of Palestine’, performed by Bilal and Khader Al-Ahmad.

This week we’re playing Louis Allday’s piece: ‘Husayn Muruwwah – The Martyr of Lebanon, Palestine and The Arab Liberation Movement.’
Louis Allday is an editor, writer and historian. He has a PhD in History and is the founding editor of Liberated Texts, a project dedicated to reviewing and (re)publishing works that have been neglected, overlooked or suppressed in the mainstream since their publication.
This short bio of Lebanese Marxist philosopher and poet Husayn Murawwah is especially pertinent at this moment. This week, in addition to the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people, israel has bombed residential Beirut.
As Allday writes in his essay, Muruwwah’s position is overwhelmingly supported in the Arab world, a poll conducted this year showed that 92% of respondents believed the Palestinian cause to be a cause for all Arabs.
“Yet another indication that the long-term viability of the Zionist settler state is seriously endangered”, writes Allday.
This piece is read by Aphrodite Shomaly, you will hear Louis’ recount of Muruwwah’s life and work, and following that Aphrodite will read a poem and a speech written by Husayn Muruwwah and translated by Mahmood al-Mahmood.
A note on the word ‘israel’. The Sunday Paper has a style guide for print, wherein a strikethrough is used for a colonial name. In editing the podcast I’ve not yet established a consistent style guide to create an audial strikethrough. In this reading, Aphrodite has chosen to replace the word ‘israel’ with ‘Isn’t-real.’
The Sunday Paper Podcast was made on Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues, as does Indigenous resistance.
Our theme music was made by DOBBY, the other track you heard in this piece was ‘The Covenant’ supplied by Basedest Nasheeds. Thanks to Isaac Blank for help with the music.

The BPU is a revolutionary organisation that aims to empower Indigenous people on this continent through the pursuit of full self-determination and sovereignty. The piece you’re about to hear is a theoretical rationale for Indigenous led anti-colonial resistance, but that’s not all it is, I spoke to National President Keiren Stewart-Assheton about what the BPU are doing right now to enact decolonisation and create the groundwork for revolution.
