BENDIGO STREET IN THE MEDIA

11 August 2021 | 3CR Raise the RoofFiona and Shane speak to Jasmine, a Kurdish film maker who is making a documentary about the Bendigo Street campaign, where a group of people moved into houses left empty after they were compulsarily acquired for a freeway project that didnt go ahead.
12 Sep 2020 | Bendigo St, Institute of Postcolonial StudiesOn 31 March 2016, we occupied 16 Bendigo St and made national headlines, forcing the Andrews state government into an embarrassing confrontation. Soon after its inception, the protest drew the attention of the Wurundjeri and Kulin Nation community who helped us expose the myth of the contemporary housing crisis. For them, housing deprivation and homelessness began with European invasion in 1788.
14 Sep 2020 | Is This It? Satellite Skies, 3CRInterview with Jasmine, a Kurdish anarchist based in Narrm about an upcoming documentary she is working on about the Bendigo St Housing Campaign, social struggle, social spaces and anti-authoritarian resistance and what this means during covid-19.
12 Sep 2019 | Why is Civil Disobedience Justified? Roominations, 3CRThis show is all about Bendigo St - the 2016, 8-month occupation of former East-West Link houses that were occupied as part of a campaign to advocate for them to be put on the public housing register. Instead, they have systematically been put on the private rental market or sold. And the homelessness crisis continues. Jasmine, a young squatting activist and budding filmmaker is in the process of making a documentary film about housing in Australia and will incorporate the Bendigo St protest. Kelly sits down with her to have a yarn about it. Hope you enjoy the show!
