Grandmother's rubber duck display sparks neighbourhood battle

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

A 72-year-old grandmother named Wendy has decorated the front of her Paradise Point home on the Gold Coast with an extensive collection of rubber ducks in various themes and outfits. The display, which began as a joke during COVID when her daughter mailed her some ducks, has attracted a complaint to the body corporate from someone claiming it doesn't fit the luxury aesthetic of the area. Hundreds of local residents have rallied behind Wendy in defiance, donating even more ducks to support her cheerful display.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hegemonicon - An Investigation Into the Workings of Power William Lawrence A show about social movements and politics, strategy and ideology, the immediate present and the rapidly onrushing future.Host William Lawrence spent his 20s as a member of grassroots social movements, including as a co-founder and national leader of Sunrise Movement, the youth group that put the Green New Deal on the political map. Now in his 30s, he's trying to make sense of what we've collectively learned from the last decade-plus of social movements and heightening crisis.On this show he talks with activists and researchers on the left to explore the guiding theme of Power: What is it? How is it exercised? How is it distributed? What has living through these recent decades of increasing turmoil taught us about the relations of power, both here in the US and worldwide? How can we design better strategies that build power from below, to win basic rights, security, and justice?
