    Joining Macca and Paul live on air, is a true powerhouse in the global movement for equality. A former head of global litigation for Apple, she went on to serve nearly a decade as the Executive Director of the Human Rights Campaign—quadrupling its size and turning it into the United States’ premiere LGBTQIA+ civil rights organization.

    She has navigated the highest corridors of corporate and political power to fight for our rights, and today she remains one of America’s sharpest minds on workplace equality, constitutional freedom, and civil rights strategy. Welcome to Saturday Magazine, Elizabeth Birch.

    Workplace Equality & DEI Backlash

    At events like the Picturing Equality Symposium, you emphasize corporate responsibility. How are American companies holding the line on LGBTQIA+ inclusion in an era where DEI programs are being actively targeted by conservative legal activists?”

    “When you led litigation at Apple in the 90s, corporate advocacy was radical. Is the current corporate pullback just a temporary trend, or a long-term threat to workplace safety?

    In Australia some organisations are noticing a pull-back in public support – how do you keep corporate engagement up in tough times?

    Press Freedom & Constitutional Safeguards

    • “With media outlets being stripped of access or threatened by political figures, do you feel the average American realises how tied LGBTQIA+ rights are to a free, independent press?”
    • “Do you see a path for legal challenges against these press exclusions under First Amendment law, or have the courts shifted too far right to offer protection?”
    • Do you see light at the end of the tunnel?

    Healthcare Bans & The Resistance

    • “The North Dakota Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the youth healthcare ban is a devastating blow. Where do families and advocates turn when state supreme courts shut the door on constitutional appeals?”
    • “Given the wave of state-level restrictions, where are you seeing the most effective resistance—is it in federal court battles, ballot initiatives, or grassroots mutual aid?”

    Dr Tim Read, the Victorian Greens MP for Brunswick, has passed away aged 64 after a battle with metastatic melanoma. Earlier this week, we were saddened to learn of the death of Victorian Greens MP Dr Tim Read at age 64 following a high-profile fight with metastatic cancer. Dr Read served as the Member for Brunswick from 2018 until his passing, bringing a rare combination of scientific rigor, medical expertise, and profound personal integrity to state parliament. Before entering politics, Dr Read was a general practitioner, a medical researcher specialising in sexual health, and a long-time public health campaigner—from his early days spray-painting health warnings on tobacco billboards with BUGA-UP, through to his final months passionately defending public health promotion and VicHealth. Described by colleagues on all sides of politics as a man of genuine conviction, humility, and warmth, Dr Read left a lasting legacy through legislative reforms in pill testing, public health, anti-corruption oversight, and human rights. Let’s revisit our conversation with Dr Tim Read. Dr Tim Read, the Victorian Greens MP for Brunswick, has passed away aged 64 after a battle with metastatic melanoma. From Direct Action to Medical Practice Dr Read’s passion for public health and political activism began in his early twenties. In the mid-1980s, while studying medicine, he was an active member of BUGA-UP (Billboard-Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions), taking direct action against legal tobacco billboard advertising by spray-painting health warnings across Melbourne. He went on to earn a PhD while working at a public HIV and sexual health clinic. His research spanned HIV treatment, prevention, and strategies to treat antibiotic-resistant sexually transmitted infections. As the only medical doctor serving in the Victorian Parliament during the COVID-19 pandemic, his background provided critical scientific leadership to the public debate. Parliamentary Career & Legislative Impact Dr Read first contested the federal seat of Wills in 2013 and stood for the state seat of Brunswick in 2014 before winning the electorate in 2018. Over his eight years in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, he served as the Greens spokesperson for Health, Justice, Integrity, and Science and chaired Parliament’s Integrity and Oversight Committee. His legislative advocacy delivered several significant public policy reforms, including: Implementation of pill testing trialsLicensing reforms for tobacco salesAbolition of public drunkenness lawsElimination of restrictions on gay men donating bloodStatutory bans on solitary confinement in state prisonsStatewide health plans to eradicate congenital syphilis and HIV transmission Final Campaign for VicHealth After scans revealed his cancer had metastasised, Dr Read announced in January that he would not contest the upcoming election. He dedicated his final months in office to campaigning against the Victorian Government’s decision to close VicHealth, the health promotion foundation established in 1987. Reflecting on his own diagnosis, Dr Read noted that early sun-safety messaging championed by VicHealth might have reduced his own melanoma risk had it existed during his youth, warning that defunding health prevention represented a “false economy”. Cross-Party Respect Tributes across political lines reflected Dr Read’s standing as one of the state’s most respected lawmakers. Victorian Greens leader Ellen Sandell remembered him as “the most liked MP in state parliament,” combining “conviction, integrity, wit and genuine humility.” Premier Ben Carroll and Opposition Leader Jess Wilson echoed those sentiments, commending his sincerity, commitment to anti-corruption reform, and unwavering focus on making life better for others. In his valedictory speech, Dr Read captured his own philosophy on public service: “Politics is hope in motion. We politicians might want our opponents to lose their seats, but we cannot help but feel some warmth towards those we work with.” Aiv Puglielli MLC, Vic Greens, N. E.

Aiv is representing the Greens on two major health and community issues: honoring the parliamentary and clinical legacy of the late Dr Tim Read MP, and championing the newly launched Melbourne HIV Consensus Statement 2026 ahead of the November Victorian State Election. Joining us on Joy 94.9’s Saturday Magazine is Aiv Puglielli, Victorian Greens Member for North-Eastern Metro and state spokesperson for LGBTQIA+ Equality. Today we reflect on the passing of former Greens MP and doctor Tim Read, whose career in sexual health and public advocacy helped lay the groundwork for major health reform across Victoria. We also look at a historic milestone: the sector-wide call for Victoria to become one of the first places in the world to ...
