Climate policy has been weaponised in Australia over recent decades. The situation in other countries is frequently not dissimilar. The lack of real action on climate change resulted in over one third of Australian voters rejecting the major parties in preference of environmentally progressive ‘Teal' independents at the 2022 federal election. Zoe Daniel is one of seven Teal Independent who are now working to drive positive and constructive climate policy changes across the Australian Federal Parliament. The political will to generate and implement policies that effectively address climate change, including the economic mechanisms required for these policies to succeed, is frequently highlighted as a critical gap that needs to be overcome. Entrenched two party systems, each pandering to their base, make it easy for disruptive climate policies to remain off the agenda. Impact on climate change will remain limited without broad government leadership and policies despite the efforts of the NGO community, civil society, entrepreneurs, and the private sector.So how does a new MP make an impact in one the rougher federal parliaments globally?“If you come in, particularly as a new MP and expect to create massive systems change overnight, you're going to be disappointed. So you have to convince yourself that you can make a difference by doing the kind of nudging that myself and the other independents have been doing.”By using this approach Zoe managed to negotiate that the 43% emission reduction stipulated in the recent Climate Change Act was a floor rather than a ceiling. Her real impact came from being in the same room and having the opportunity to negotiate directly with the Climate Change Minister. Zoe has taken a pragmatic and broad approach that prioritises creating the social license for government to implement change and bringing the community along. She expects massive economic and social changes that people will need to adjust to a compressed period and for this to be successful broad community engagement and transparency are critical. This includes managing the expectation of her constituents who are pushing from much more rapid change and ensuring there is just transition for communities who have traditionally relied on the sunset industries. The continuing weaponization of energy, water, and food globally is a big concern. It becomes very challenging when these become bargain chips to undermine the existing global order. Drawing on her 15 years reporting from Africa, Asia, and North America she understands the cascading effects of climate induced food insecurity, water insecurity and natural disasters on political stability and displacement. Zoe also highlights the increasingly delicate balance required to keep vital communications channels open with our geopolitical rivals and adversaries. As a foreign correspondent she frequently witnessed the suffering and destruction climate change has on the most vulnerable societies and natural ecosystems. Her time as a journalist also exposed her to the frequently divisive nature of the media, where creating conflict in the name of good story is often favoured over promoting constructive conversations. I recently caught up with Zoe to hear more about her work, you can listen to a short summary followed by our full conversation here.
Chair: Marian Wilkinson The rise of the Teals with the election of over 10 independents to the Australian Federal Parliament changed Australian politics.

Will independents improve the quality of decision-making? Marian Wilkinson talks with Simon Holmes à Court, Margot Saville and Brook Turner about the Teals and their future.

Overwhelmed by climate change? Want to make an impact?Tune in to the third episode of my deep dive into the hypothetical question “What if we (the Australian people) took control of the next Federal Election?Join me as I sit down with Sarah Wilson, best-selling author, podcaster, climate activist, philanthropist and so much more. While Sarah is not running in the upcoming Federal Election, she is working hard on the campaign trail to get Aussies to vote in a “climate safe” way. This got me to wondering, what would a “best case scenario” for climate look like in terms of outcomes in the next Federal Election? Tune in to find out. Today we cover: How the campaign trail for a “climate safe” Australian Federal Parliament is going. How Australian climate policy shapes up on the global stage. I ask Sarah to imagine a best-case scenario for climate in this Federal Election (that is strategically achievable) – and to describe the mechanics of what this Parliament might feasibly look like. The amazing independents running in this Federal Election and the underlying commonalities of their policy platforms.The kind of policies we need to see implemented following the Federal Election to rapidly and radically address the climate crisis (that are practically achievable).The importance of anti-corruption measures to limit the funding and power of fossil fuel companies. The role of Climate200 in backing community supported Independents.Strategies to engage the community to vote on climate; The importance of enrolling to vote and how optimising enrolment could radically impact the outcome in this Federal Election (LAST DAY TO ENROL TO VOTE IS MONDAY 18 APRIL 2022 - https://www.aec.gov.au/enrol/). I nerd out by asking Sarah a question on her creative process and Jungian theory – that we manage to relate back to the Federal Election (to keep it tidy).Show links: Sarah Wilson – about - https://www.sarahwilson.com/about/ Sarah Wilson Podcast – Wild - https://www.sarahwilson.com/podcast/ Sarah Wilson books - https://www.sarahwilson.com/books/ Enrol to vote - https://www.aec.gov.au/enrol/ Climate200 - https://www.climate200.com.au/ The Big Deal, documentary ABC - https://iview.abc.net.au/show/big-deal IPCC Reports - https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/ Climate Action Tracker - https://climateactiontracker.org/

In late November 2021, the Federal Government released a report called “Setting the Standard”.

William Cooper wrote a petition to the King of England requesting that there be Aboriginal representation in the Australian Federal Parliament almost 75 years ago. He believed that someone capable of 'thinking black' was required to implement equal rights for his people and better protection for those living on Aboriginal Reserves like the one he had lived in on the Murray, Cumeroongunga. Bain Attwood shares his insights into the long and productive life of William Cooper.

Tom Evans is a renowned psychologist who has worked in private practice for two decades and now works in the challenging space of the rehabilitation of sex offenders in Australia, and with young men struggling with issues of consent. In this episode, we step into some difficult and dark areas of the human psyche with Tom, as we explore primitive drivers and sexual dictates, how young men learn about ‘normalised’ sexual behaviour, what consent really means, and what we should be teaching them about healthy, mutually consenting sex.Tom also shares his own harrowing story as a victim of crime, and how this traumatic experience has informed his clinical practice, and the way he works with - and understands - the complex psychology of young men. This conversation deals with some very difficult topics, especially in light of what is currently playing out in the Australian Federal Parliament, and in a week that has seen thousands of people join 40+ Women's March4Justice rallies across the nation demanding an end to gendered violence and inequality.But despite this backdrop to the conversation, this episode provides a point of light because within the darkness Tom sees in human behaviour, he works to enable hope - and ultimately healing - for perpetrators, victims and for humanity at large. Please note opinions and statements in this episode are the express views of Tom Evans and not those of his employer.

We are back with an in-depth conversation today with Bec Johnson, a Type-1 diabetes ultramarathon swimmer coached by Paul Newsome here in Perth, Western Australia. Bec was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at the age of 17 and was determined not to let it ruin and control her active lifestyle, instead, she leaned into it and in 2015 set up the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre in Perth (https://www.type1familycentre.org.au) to inspire others to live a healthy and active life with this incurable disease. This year, Bec is taken on the huge goal of swimming the following 3 ultramarathon swimming events - and Swim Smooth Head Coach Paul Newsome will be with her along the way - coaching from the boat and occasionally keeping pace in the water alongside Bec (if he's not too afraid of the sharks that is!): 1. The Rottnest Channel Swim (19.7km) on 23rd February 2020 2. The Port-to-Pub Channel Swim (25km and the southern hemisphere's 2nd longest swim) on 21st March 2020 3. A 39.4km swim to Rottnest Island and back again (some time in April when the conditions look good!) She is charting her progress through her fund-raising campaign: https://www.lifewithoutlimits.com.au and also on https://www.facebook.com/lifewithoutlimits2020/ and is aiming to raise $85,000 for the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre (currently she's at $60,038 as of 7th March 2020). Bec is a wonderful ambassador, not just for Type-1 diabetes sufferers, but for everyone in all aspects of life, seeking to squeeze the last drops of fun, joy and adventure in everything she does. She has a super positive outlook filled with gratitude that comes across highly in the podcast and to everyone that she meets. When MP for Stirling Vince Connelly (who features at the start of the podcast) speaks of Bec Johnson and the wonderful work she is doing for diabetes treatment in the Australian Federal Parliament just a few days after the first swim, he calls her an "an absolute powerhouse!" and nothing could more true! This weekend in fact, she will feature on the front cover of the Sunday Times Magazine "STM" in honour of International Women's Day - amazing! She is also the only Australian to have been selected as one of the 100 Fellows of the global Facebook Community Leadership Program and has been nominated for one of the coveted 40 Under 40 awards for her work as co-founder and CEO of the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre. Prepare to be wowed and inspired by someone who truly raises the benchmark to a whole new level! Oh yeah...and we talk about some swimming too and Bec's training regime in the Swim Smooth Perth Squad ;-) Enjoy! P.S we must apologise for the occasional "welp!" from Paul's pet dog, Sandy! Naughty Sandy!
