School Without Walls (SWOW) was a fully democratic school that ran from 1974 to 1997, when it was forced to shut down by Kate Carnell's Liberal Party local government. Many of those (including myself) who had the opportunity to learn at SWOW remain embittered that something quite that good - many would say life-changing – no longer exists. There are scant records available from SWOW, and this series of oral histories aims to fill that gap as fully as possible. In this interview, we talk with Clive Mackillop, long time teacher from the latter half of SWOW.

On 15 October 2023 we will mark the 70th anniversary of the first mainland British nuclear test in Australia, at Emu Field in South Australia, on the country of the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara peoples. This week, parliamentarians have the opportunity to hear from Yankunytjatjara, Antikarinya, and Pitjantjatjara woman and nuclear test survivor, June Lennon, who was four months old, in October 1953, when the Totem 1 nuclear bomb was detonated at Emu Field. We should never forget that Ms Lennon's family and First Nations people were treated abysmally in this matter – given no proper warning or protection, let alone consultation and prior informed consent in relation to the profoundly harmful and toxic use of their country. There is no disputing the fact that the British and Australian governments were utterly carless in their consideration of Aboriginal people. Through these secret nuclear weapons test, which were not sanctioned by an Australian cabinet or parliamentary process, Aboriginal people experienced dispossession and displacement, and their sacred lands were irrevocably poisoned. The truth about the tests and their impact was covered up, and the severe injustice went unrecognised and unaddressed for decades. Indeed, it is not well understood or acknowledged in Australia today. From: ICAN Australia media release Jun 15 2023

At thie Feb 2021 CoCanberra / NENA Canberra Regional Hub we welcomed Katherine Cunningham, who explains the Earthworker Co-operative system, a residual outgrowth of the Builders Laborers Federation, (famous for its Green Bans - so effective that the union was made illegal) and a coalition of unionists and greenies based in Melbourne.

At the August 2022 CoCanberra / NENA Canberra Regional Hub meetup we welcomed our very own Scotty Foster and Keith Colls, to explain our project the Soil City Co-operative Farms. CoCanberra is building the new economy on the ground, using the concept of “[Climate Co-operatives]” to provide for our needs in ways which are compatible with a thriving community and natural world. As a key part of the design, communities obtain ownership and control of the organisations which meet their needs. This Co-operative is CoCanberra's project to set up a regenerative food system for Canberra and its surrounding area.

Rising Tide successfully blockaded the worlds largest coal port for 32 hours in Newcastle, Australia in November 2023, with 102 arrests at the finale. The Australien Government continues to approve new coal and gas projects across the continent, providing over 14 Billion dollars in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry this year, actively sponsoring the climate crisis. In November 2024 Rising Tides ambitions are to have 10,000 blockaders stop coal exports for 50 hours, then bring the Wave to Canberra where the parliament will be the focus. The speaking tour went to every capital in eastern Australia over the last few weeks. Align In The Sound was there to capture the Canberra gig.

When Robert Pekin lost his family's fourth generation farm twenty years ago, he went into exile. The grief and shame led him on a journey to explore positive ways forward for farming in Australia. That feeling triggered a passion for creating a fairer food system for all farmers and for exploring ways to help people connect to those who grew and processed their food. He believed that this disconnection and the increasing impact of climate change meant a solution was urgently needed. Enter Food Connect, a social enterprise that Robert, with his partner Emma-Kate, a few local farmers and a small group of motivated mums kick-started in 2005, using the principles of Community Supported Agriculture. Food Connect's vision is to create a world where everyone has access to healthy, fresh, ecologically-grown food that is fair to growers, eaters, and the planet. We want to transform the food system, and we believe the next step towards this vision is to create a working local food hub for the regional food economy, that is owned by the community.

In 2018 Behind the Lines made a road trip to Victoria, Australia to attend the New Economy Network of Australia's national conference in Melbourne. You can find recordings of that conference through our Align in the Sound playlists on Soundcloud. Along the way we stopped off at a few interesting places, including CERES, a remarkable urban farm in the centre of Melbourne with more tentacles than an octopus, 160 full time (equivalent) staff, and thousands of volunteers! Recently, these 5 year old recordings were found in the Behind the Lines vaults, and this is the result. CERES is still a world leading example of a community of social enterprises committed to the common good – it must have been improving even more since these interviews were made. We spoke mostly with Sieta Beckwith, who holds the role of “Narrative”, and Lucy Snedden showed us through the Grocery store. We apologise to the other speakers, whose names are lost in the BTL vaults… Let us know if you recognise someone and we will credit them. For the past decade, Sieta has worked in strategic communications roles in Social Enterprise, for profit and non–profit organisations, assisting to discover values, vision and mission through collaborative processes. With a background and studies in literature, philosophy, psychology and communications, Sieta helps to weave the different stories of CERES into a strategically aligned narrative. Apologies for the wind noise throughout the recording, we have done our best to keep things easy to understand.

From 2020. It seems only natural that with our recent shows focusing on the nurturing of food producing gardens and green spaces, that we do a show about how to prepare and cook that delicious fare in a manner which supports our food sovereignty, all the way from the organic green earth to our kitchens and plates. Joining us this morning to chat about an exciting new project, The Container Kitchen Coop, is ex-farmer come foodie advocate, and owner of The Scrumpers Garden catering, Ruth Gaha-Morris. Learn about the benefits of kitchen co-ops, community kitchens and retaining food sovereignty within our communities.

This week we are excited to welcome, live in studio, multi award-winning social justice radio and print journalist, mentor and best selling author of Troll Hunting, Ginger Gorman. Ginger is also the host of the Seriously Social Podcast and has interviewed everyone from eminent scientists and artists, to hardened criminals and vicious Internet trolls. Join us as we delve into the world of online bullying, cyberhate, women in media, including the recent focus on sexual harassment in the political arena. and the precarious line women often walk when they dare to be visible and outspoken in a culture that would prefer their compliance and silence.

This week, we are excited to welcome back Mycologist, Natural Historian and Photographer, Alison Pouliot, to chat about her new book Underground Lovers, a gorgeous journey that reaches down to earth, and deeper, to dwell with fungal allies and aliens, discover how fungi hold forests together, and why humans are deeply entwined with these unruly renegades of the subterrain. Told through first-hand stories from the Australian desert to Iceland's glaciers to America's Cascade Mountains Alison shares encounters with glowing ghost fungi and unearths the enigma of the lobster mushroom. Melding science and personal reflection, she explores the fungi that appear after fire, how fungi and climate change interact, the role of fungi in our ecosystems. Joining Alison via phone, we also welcome back Peter Wenzel, Mushroom Designer and Grower, and co-Founder of Fungi Co, who has been fascinated by the form and function of funky fungi since the last millennium, exploring science, art, food, myco-design, education and novel growing techniques.

The Assad family ruled Syria under dictatorship for 40 years, formally denouncing the existence of Kurds, Assyrians, Armenians, Turkmen and many other minorities, despite the rich tapestry of cultures and languages that have always inhabited these lands. In 2012, in the midst of the Syrian Civil War, the rule of the Assad Regime weakened in the Kurdish majority northern regions. Out of this conflict, and the Rojava Revolution in 2012, three pillars formed in the regions today governed by the Autonomous Administrations of North and East Syria (AANES) democracy, women's freedom and ecology. Birthing co-operatives, and a strong communal and women's economy. This morning, we are priviledged to welcome, live via phone, Salih Muslim, calling in from in Kobani, Syria, to chat with us about what's been happening in the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria. Salih Muslim Muhammad (Kurmanji Kurdish: Salih Muslim Mihemed, is the former co-chairman of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), the main party of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. As the deputy coordinator of the National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change, he was the most prominent Kurdish representative for much of the Syrian Civil War. He was born in a Syrian village close to Kobani in 1951. After an education in Syria, he studied at the Chemical Engineering faculty of Istanbul Technical University from 1970 until graduating in 1977. After a brief stint in London, he worked in Saudi Arabia between 1978 and 1990, and opened an engineering office in 1993 in Aleppo

Radio Behind the Lines (BTL) talks with people and organisations trying to make the world a better place. In this episode of Radio BTL from 11th November 2022, we talk with Cid Riley from Citizens Against The Tarago Incinerator, or CATTI. Cid will give us an update on the Tarago Incinerator and CATTI's fight to keep the toxic fumes out of their community and many surrounding communities. Tarago is a small community which has been taking trainloads of Sydneys rubbish for years, at a significant cost due to reglaur, thick "stench bombs" floating through the area. Now Tarago is ground zero for a gigantic rubbish incinerator to burn more of Sydneys rubbish, operated by VEolia, the same company responsible for unleashing the stench bombs for many years. The toxic plume of this incinerator will also reach many other communities, including Bungendore, Canberra, Goulburn, Braidwood and more. Anybody drinking rainwater in the region should be very concerned about this proposal. Tune in and learn how you can take action against this polluter - and pass this on to anyone you know who drinks from a rain tank!

This week on Behind the Lines we welcome back Ghillar (Michael Anderson), last survivng member of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy founding four. Ghillar is an Aboriginal rights activist, and leader of the Euahlayi tribe in north-western New South Wales and southern Queensland. He was a leader in the Australian Black Power movement and was appointed by his peers as the first Aboriginal ambassador to white Australia after he and three comrades established what was later called the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on the front lawns of Australia's parliament house in 1972. He is now Coordinator of the interim National Unity Government of the Sovereign Union. He was taught Euahlayi customs and traditions through his people's sacred ceremonies, and is a senior lawman. In 1979 he was appointed to the Office of the Public Prosecutions in criminal law as an instructing officer (the equivalent of a solicitor) in the state of New South Wales. Ghillar has lectured in Aboriginal studies and Aboriginal politics at several Australian universities, writing and teaching units in Aboriginal studies, and has also played professional Rugby League. He lives on and runs a sheep and cattle property on his ancestral lands on both sides of the New South Wales and Queensland border in the lower Ballone river system.

This Friday we have Coedie McAvoy, Wangan / Jagalingu man joining us live via phone from the Waddananggu camp in central Queensland. The frontiers of climate crisis and First Nations dispossession are being pushed beyond their limits by the centuries old coalition of party political government and big business - once again. The Adani-Bravus mega coal mine at Carmichael is just the first of many planned for the galilee basin, laying down the infrastructure which can only lead to more intense climate chaos, expanding an industry with no future. Coedie will talk with us from Waddananggu, a cultural ceremony taking place across the road from Adani-Bravus's Carmichael Mine - the biggest coal mine in this continent's history.

Violet Coco, featured in this interview from August 2021, has just been imprisoned for 15 months with a no parole period of 8 months, Violet's crime was to block one lane of the Sydney Harbour Bridge for about 25 minutes. Our country is becoming an authoritarian state quicker than we can recognise it. Stay tuned for more on this ridiculous court decision, which was directed by the new(ish) NSW laws, crafted (in my opinion) by a savage bunch of politicians, fighting desperately for the rights of their fossil fuelled mates to kill the world with impunity.

Today we hosted Tahli Mullins and Jamie Rogers, two local School Strike activists. We had a chat about the movement, and their upcoming livestream event.
