In this episode, I speak with Ciaron O'Reilly.

Ciaron has had a unique life as an anti-war protester and social justice campaigner. His philosophy involves a unique blend of Catholic faith and social justice activism.

He has broken into US and British defence facilities and disabled military aircraft and facilities.

He has been imprisoned in Australia, the USA, England and Ireland.

He was part of the Pitstop Ploughshares who attaked a US Navy warplane in Ireland but were acquited in a famous case in 2006 on the basis of a "lawful excuse" defence.

In this episode he discusses his life, his philosophy and his thoughts about the future of Julian Assange.

Shae has decided to leave but is welcome to come back anytime.
