Blaksiders is the no-holds-barred conversation about news and current affairs program produced and hosted by two First Nations lawyers – Gemma McKinnon and Peta MacGillivray – with LOTS to say. Gemma McKinnon is a Barkindji woman, a mother of 5, and an Aries. Gemma likes administrative law and country music. She recently moved to the Blue Mountains and is learning to care for chickens.

Peta MacGillivray is a Kalkutungu and South Sea Islander woman who grew up in Central Queensland. Peta is now a die-hard Sydney-sider, who loves finding the city’s best breakfast sandwiches. She also likes indie R&B and collecting vinyl records.

This week Gemma McKinnon and Peta Macgillivray discuss Invasion Day and ask why can’t we move past this particular culture war.
