On this week’s episode of Renegade Radio we look into the growing rape and misogyny scandals surrounding Federal Parliament and Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton’s decision to deport a 15-year-old kid back to New Zealand. We welcome our very first live studio guest in the form of novelist and lawyer, Miles Hunt, who joins us to discuss his latest novel, The Information Editor. We also feature an in-depth interview with Dr Monica Barratt, from RMIT’s Social and Global Studies Centre and one of Australia’s leading experts on drug use. With your hosts Serkan Ozturk and Gary Johnston.
