ECNT is an environmental advocacy organisation fighting alongside local communities to win just solutions to the environmental issues facing the Northern Territory.  Alison, an organiser with the Newcastle-based group No Weapons for Genocide, caught up with Priya earlier this week to discuss the militarisation of Newcastle's economy and how this is being resisted by members of the local community. Despite the urgent need for action on a green energy transition, Newcastle, home to the world's largest coal port, has instead seen increasing government incentives redirecting workers and manufacturing capabilities from the extractive industries towards weapons manufacturing. Keep up to date with No Weapons for Genocide on Instagram. Noura Mansour from Democracy in Colour joins us to speak about the implications of the Albanese Government's appointment of Jillian Segal as Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. The establishment of the Special Envoy stands in stark contrast to the repeated failure by the Australian Government to address the genocide of First Nations people in so-called Australia, as well as escalating anti-Palestinian and Islamaphobic violence. Since her appointment, Jillian Segal has come under scrutiny due to her recommendation of wide-reaching draconian reforms impacting freedom of speech and political expression, as well as her husband's company's support of right wing group ‘Advance' in the form of a $50,000 donation. Events TOLL - STOP DRIVING GENOCIDE - SNAP RALLYAutonomous activists have organised a snap rally today at Toll Holdings' melbourne headquarters to demand that the company cuts ties with weapons suppliers and stops driving genocide in this colony and others.

In more than 30 years of lobbying for gambling reforms, Tim Costello says no government has tried to silence him through the use of a legally binding non-disclosure agreement. That's until the Albanese government asked him to sign an NDA as part of lobbying the government on new gambling advertising laws. The chief advocate for the Alliance for Gambling Reform says he believes its purpose was to “muzzle” the group. It's part of a growing government trend to use non-disclosure agreements as a condition of consultation on reforms, even threatening advocates and social welfare groups with imprisonment if orders are breached.  Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Barlow, on the impact these NDAs have on meaningful consultation and how the government justifies its turn towards secrecy.
