Ep 5, Part 1: Millennium Blues

In Episode 5 of The Intersection, we make it into the 21st Century. Millennium Blues looks at that fraught period in Australia – Howard, Hanson, Tampa, 9/11, War on Terror, a rise in xenophobia and a backlash against First Nations’ people’s claims to justice. In particular we look at a 2003 song from Sydney hiphop band The Herd which addressed these issues in the most emphatic of ways.
