On the first episode of my new podcast show, "Realtime with Rukshan," I am joined by Monica Smit, a political activist and freedom fighter based in Melbourne.
During this tell-all interview, we delve into Monica's often controversial activism campaigns, particularly during the lockdowns in Victoria, and explore the profound impact her work has had on her personal and professional life. We discuss Monica's experience of being incarcerated for allegedly "inciting protests" in Melbourne, as well as address the criticisms raised concerning the financial transparency of the organisation she leads.
Listen along as we unravel the complexities surrounding Monica's activism, the challenges she has faced, and the controversies that have shaped her journey.
