Tuesday Breakfast

We hear from Lynne Kelly and Margo Neale about their book Design: Songlines. Lynne Kelly is a science writer whose field of research is the memory methods used by those who depended on their memories for knowledge. Margo Neale is the head of the Centre for Indigenous Knowledges, senior Indigenous curator, and principal adviser to the director of the National Museum of Australia.

Songlines: The Power and Promise is the first of six books in Thames & Hudson Australia's First Knowledge series, all edited by Margo Neale. //Dimity Hawkins is the co-founder of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). Dimity joins us on the show to discuss the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (26th September) and webinar held today by Revise the Trend (RTT), an organisation confronting issues
