Melbourne culture, Slutwalk & Writers Festival, strange bedfellows?

Arts, Literature, News & Politics, Non-Profit, Self-Help, Sexuality, Society & Culture

Slutwalk is an annual event in Melbourne and around the world, it’s a controversial name, not a controversial message – it’s never OK to blame the victim. We talk to one of the organisers Lisa Dib.

And… Lisa Dempster, the festival Director of the Melbourne Writers Festival joins us to talk about queer events within the huge festival program.

Shannon Power also chats about what’s happening between the pages of the Star Observer.
