What's On in Brisbane

Frequencity is a startup not‑for‑profit and grassroots live music initiative based in Ipswich. We’re all about locals — supporting local people, emerging artists, and small businesses. Our mission is to strengthen Ipswich’s live music culture through live gigs, artist promotion, and community collaboration. Over the past 12 months, the project has grown rapidly and naturally developed into a not‑for‑profit community movement. As Frequencity has evolved, it’s become increasingly focused on Ipswich — its people, venues, and creative energy.

Red Power Internationalism during Canada’s ‘Long Seventies’ My lecture will provide a reconstructed history of Red Power radicalization and Indigenous-Marxist cross-fertilization during Canada’s “long seventies.” It examines the political work undertaken by numerous Red Power activists and organizations from 1967 to 1982. It argues that Indigenous political organizing and theory-building during this period borrowed substantively and productively from a Third World-adapted Marxism which provided an appealing international language of political contestation that they not only inherited but sought to radically transform through a critical engagement with their own cultural traditions and land-based struggles. Not unlike many radicalized communities of color during this period, these activists molded and adapted the insights they gleaned from Third World Marxism abroad into their own critiques of racial capitalism, patriarchy, and internal colonialism at home.

This site tour will focus on “Handovers and Huddles – A PGD perspective” effective handovers shift huddles This session will bring to life how structured communication between shifts reduces variability, improves accountability, and builds momentum across the production cycle—turning what is often a routine task into a powerful operational lever. PGD has recently partnered with Ross Ops, a specialist in operational excellence, to embed practices that elevate team performance. Their focus is on converting individual capability into collective experience—ensuring that knowledge, insights, and improvements are consistently shared across crews, not lost between shifts. Attendees will learn how this approach is reshaping frontline leadership, standardising communication rhythms, and strengthening team cohesion. Priestley’s Gourmet Delights is one of Australia’s leading food manufacturers, producing a wide range of premium baked goods for the foodservice. With a strong reputation for quality and innovation, PGD continues to invest in both its people and processes—making it an ideal host for this practical, insight-driven session. This is a valuable opportunity to step inside a live operating environment, exchange ideas with peers, and take away actionable strategies to improve handovers, huddles, and overall shift performance in your own organisation.
