In this episode of A Just(ER) Generation, Thomas Mayo sits down with 'Alopi Latukefu to share the journey that shaped his life and advocacy. From his early experiences with the wharfies, where he first learned the power of solidarity, to developing the skills and insights needed to champion justice, Thomas reflects on his work both within the union movement and as an ongoing advocate for First Nations people.

Almost two years on after the Voice referendum, Thomas and 'Alopi speak candidly about the disappointments of the past, but also reflect with hope on how we can all take meaningful steps to build a future grounded in truth, understanding, and shared unity—where connection and familiarity become a foundation for real change.

The Global Centre for Social Justice and Advocacy Leadership builds on the legacy of the Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education — bringing a global lens and renewed action focus to today’s polycrisis, engaging with a global lens to local and national issues, building core work across advocacy, awareness and action.

Host: 'Alopi Latukefu
