- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
Radio Redfern was a program dedicated to the Aboriginal community in Sydney in the 1980s. Initially broadcast on 2SER in 1981, the show moved to Radio Skid Row (2RSR) in 1984 where it stayed until 1990.
The program played a pivotal role in the bicentennial protests on 26 January 1988 as it was an important source of information regarding the marches occurring in Sydney.
In this clip, announcer Charlie Watson speaks to Tiga Bayles who established Radio Redfern with his mother, Maureen Watson. Tiga updates Charlie about the protest as it is happening, airing his concern about the arrival of a busload of police.
This is radio at its dramatic best, providing the listener with an insight into a community fighting against what it sees as injustice.
