S1E4 - A history of Turnstyle Community Hub part 1

Today's show is part one of a two part series on the amazing history and the sad eviction of Turnstyle Community Hub. This inauspicious Queenslander in Highgate Hill was a key part of creating community and change in Brisbane for the last 15 years. We talk about the space, its inspiring legacy, and the difficulties of trying to create alternative spaces in a property market that sees value only in money.
