Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 20th of January 2025. On today's show: last week Hannah sat down with Erik Hayward from the Bob Brown Foundation to give us an update on the ongoing protests happening in lutrawita/Tasmania against native forest logging and mining in the critically endangered swift parrot habitatFrom the anti-imperialism fundraiser at the Schoolhouse Studio in so-called Coburg on Friday the 17th of January: Marcia Galea, speaking about Camp Sovereignty and the importance of showing up for Indigenous people here in Naarm and across the continent in protesting Invasion Day. Marcia is the Chairperson of the Victorian NAIDOC Committee. For more info on the camp sovereignty dawn day service on Invasion Day go to @vicnaidoc on Instagram - or vicnaidoc.com.au. We also heard poetry performed by Jamila of the African Solidarity Collective at the fundraiser.Hannah then spoke with Lloyd O'Hanlon about the protests in Georgia, his upcoming fundraiser which is raising funds for the grassroots organisation Queer Initiative for LGBTQ rights in Georgia, and the Footscray Hotel Choir. The fundraiser is taking place at Bell City Take Away in Preston on the 1st of Feb at  between 2-6. For more info go to @footscray_hotel_choir on instagram. To find our more about what's happening in Georgia go to https://oc-media.org/ and follow @queer.initiative on instagram.In their 'Protest in Peril' report released last year, the Human Rights Legal Centre revealed that 49 laws affecting protesting have been introduced across so-called Australia over the last two decades. These laws have 'disproportionately targeted enviromental defenders and advocates of action on climate change,' the report says. As such, cross-movement support among activists and those incarcerated has never been more crucial. To help foster this, Violet CoCo and Brad Homewood, both social and environmental justice advocates, have founded the Activist Reinforcement Movement. Rob spoke with both Violet and Brad about ARM and how it will help activists facing arrest and/or incarceration. Songs played:1. Who Am I But Someone - Kate Bollinger2. The Children Came Back - Briggs, Gurrumul, Dewayne Everettsmith

Federal Labor has launched a review into salmon farming in Tasmania as greenwashing continues to sweep across Australia's seafood industry. The review is driven by a coalition between the Bob Brown Foundation, the Australia Institute, and the Environmental Defenders Office. Federal Member for Braddon Gavin Pearce told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "That $1.3 billion industry and those local jobs are the lifeblood of our west coast." "Now you know yourself that that west coast isn't a heavily populated region. We rely on mining, tourism, and the salmon industry," "The real people of the world that's trying to put food on tables and trying to keep their families fed, it's affecting them the worst," he continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If disturbance kills those taller plants, replacements regrow from the ground and add to the fuel. Prescribed burns are a fire mitigation tool used with the aim of reducing fuel load to minimise the intensity and severity of fires.  However, while prescribed burns can sometimes decrease flammability in the short term, the way they disrupt forest ecosystems can create longer periods of additional flammability.  “Very frequent burning close to homes or control lines could create defendable spaces, but large, remote and infrequent burns maintain the landscape at maximum fire risk because they undermine the natural controls that forests place on fire," Associate Professor Zylstra said. The remote areas that burn have often been extensively logged eg Eden NSWRECENT MESSAGE FROM BOB BROWN FOUNDATION JULY1STAn end to native forest logging should have happened more than a decade ago but this list is another killing plan to feed export woodchippers, Malaysian timber company Ta Ann, and Victorian sawmills that have no social licence,” Jenny Weber, Bob Brown Foundation's Campaigns Manager said.“Kilometres of new wilderness-destroying roads will be slashed into ancient forests that have never seen a chainsaw, including taxpayer-funded roads into untouched Takayna rainforests and 6km into the Wentworth Hills near Lake St Clair. Clearfell operations in areas essential to the critically- endangered migratory Swift Parrot have been drafted despite the threat that poses to the species,” said Erik Hayward, Bob Brown Foundation Campaigner. “Lines on maps have been drawn that carve up some of the most remarkable natural landscapes this globe has to offer. For the defence of our natural world we will remain committed and defiant in the face of this complete abandon,” said Erik Hayward.“Over the last six weeks, hundreds of Australians joined the largest protest against native forest logging in Tasmania in the last decade, in Takayna. Prime Minister Albanese needs to immediately put an end to such native forest logging in Australia, which is requested by more than 75% of Labor's voters,” said Jenny Weber. Don't look away from methane :  An investigation by ACF and the global non-profit Clean Air Task Force last year detected methane escaping from more than 100 sources at 35 industrial sites in Queensland and NSW.  “When it comes to rapidly reducing Australia's most potent climate heating pollution, cutting methane emissions from the coal and gas industry is low hanging fruit.”Methane emissions are believed to account for about 30% of the global temperature rise(link is external) since the industrial revolution.  David Rovics' new album of songs was composed between October and December 2023He says "  I wrote them to bear witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people that continues by the hour as I publish this album."Hear the drones above your headWhat were the last words that she saidBefore she joined the thousands deadAs the bombs rain down

You've probably noticed krill oil for sale at your local pharmacy. Much of that krill oil, marketed as sustainable, is harvested from Antarctic waters by industrial ships that are increasingly coming into conflict with wildlife. In this episode, we chat to Alistair Allan, a campaigner at the Bob Brown Foundation who has just spent several months in Antarctic waters investigating the impact of krill fishing. Campaigners are calling for increases to krill fishing limits to be haulted at international meetings this year.Image: Antarctic krill, NOAA photo library.

Rachel Withers, The Politics Columnist and Contributing Editor of The Monthly speaks about the latest developments on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Former Leader of the Australian Greens, environmentalist, and giant of the conservation movement Bob Brown speaks in-depth with host Amy Mullins. In a wide-ranging and deep conversation, Bob reflects on his life of activism, protest, and deep personal connection with nature including the giant native trees of Tasmania, as depicted in an inspiring documentary, THE GIANTS (in cinemas April 20, co-directed by Rachel Antony and Laurence Billiet). The film interweaves Bob's story with the life cycle of the ancient trees he is fighting for. In this conversation, Bob shares his wisdom to those who care for and want to protect the environment, and gives us his take on a range of environmental and conservation issues today. Bob heads up the Bob Brown Foundation. Hugh White, contributor to The Monthly, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies at ANU, and author of The China Choice, chats with Amy about his latest piece for The Monthly, ‘Penny Wong's next big fight'. Hugh looks at whether Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong can stop Australia going to war and examines how her foreign policy positions have evolved as shadow and foreign affairs minister. Does Penny Wong believe AUKUS now positions Australia for an inevitable Pacific war, or does she still think we needn't choose between the US and China? Note: The two songs Bob Brown mentions from the 1960s, as aired on the show – If I Had A Hammer by Peter, Paul, and Mary AND Little Boxes by Peter Seeger.

Ep 29 Running to save the rainforest. We were joined by two incredibly gutsy and determined ultra-runners to chat about their adventures running the Australian Alps Walking Track. Matt and Giles covered over 700kms raising funds for the Bob Brown Foundation, in a plight to protect the endangered Takayna Rainforest in Tasmania. Devastatingly 95% of Takayna is open to mining leases, and 86% is currently threatened by logging. The Bob Brown Foundation is working on the front line to protect and restore this temperate and culturally rich landscape. Matt and Giles passionately share their journey of reconnection to the wilderness, a message of hope and devotion. We delve into the details of their 16 day feat from nutrition, gear, navigation and recovery, as well as touching on the lows, the highs and lessons learnt. Through sharing and documenting their expedition they hope to inspire listeners to connect to nature and protect our incredible country.

Jess Beckerling is Campaign Director of the West Australian Forest Alliance (WAFA), and much more besides. She's a highly respected figure here in the southern reaches of Western Australia, by both those who would traditionally have prioritised conservation, and those who might not have. I spoke with Jess back in July last year for the Clean State podcast, a spin-off series from The RegenNarration specific to WA. At the time, WAFA was seizing the opportunity it sensed to finally end native forest logging in WA. With the comprehensive and poetically conceived Forests for Life Plan in hand, WAFA has been showing how we can stop bleeding finances, forests, farmlands and communities, and back in the growing suite of ecologically and economically beneficial industries. Come September, the WA government agreed – and in an Australian first announced the end of native forest logging in this state. So we kick off the podcast for the new year with this massive story. You'll hear the last 15 minutes or so of my conversation with Jess, which closes with a few bonus minutes that just couldn't fit in Clean State's cut. Then I've patched in Jess's media statement from Parliament House on the dramatic day of the government's announcement (a few minutes long), along with some of her comments to the journo's present. More on Jess: Jess lives in the forests on the South Coast of WA and is involved with a number of regional environmental issues, particularly related to climate, water and sustainable agriculture. She first became involved in forest conservation in 1997 when she joined the Giblett forest blockade near Pemberton. Jess lived in forest blockade camps for 3 years, winning the State Government's Youth Leadership Award in recognition of her commitment to the maintenance of nonviolence in the camps. As well as forest conservation Jess has played an important role in local conservation issues around Denmark and Walpole.

Strap yourself in, it's time to save the world. Doctor, Senator, environmentalist, activist, leader and writer are some of the roles he's occupied but his reach is much wider than that. It's lonely at the top and from having to go it alone on many issues in parliament, he's now seen as a figurehead to the next generation of climate activists and those who choose to care about the planet. Since being elected to the senate in 1996, Bob has consistently taken courageous stands on issues as diverse as saving Tasmania's ancient forests, stopping the sale of the Snowy Hydro scheme and opposing the dumping of nuclear waste in Australia. Whether it be opposing the war in Iraq, defending David Hicks or arguing for an independent West Papua or Tibet, Justice and the safety of the world's people and environment has always been Bob's agenda. He was justifiably awarded Australia's Humanist of the year in 2010 and among his many awards and accolades, the words "inspire", "peace" and "justice" keep bobbing up. Strap yourself in, it's time to save the world.  

If you have never listened to "The Overview Effect with James Perrin" - then you definitely should. His podcast includes inspiring conservations with influential thinkers, humanitarians, environmentalists and business people about the problems we are currently facing, views, inventions and awakenings from very inspirational and passionate people. James told me about how he wants to rebrand his podcast a bit to have some more spiritual and emotional talks about awakenings and consciousness - which definitely became part of this episode as well. In this episode James shares his story in environmentalism and path to a more conscious and connected life with nature. We Talk about the state of the world and the ideas and and stories that can be shared through podcasting, writing, reading, speaking and listening to enable others to shine their lights that are so desperately needed in the world. James shares what he has learned from the people he has talked to on events or through his podcast and what makes him continue to have these important conversations. I could have Talked to James for hours and I am glad that modern technology gives us a chance to share stories, connect and spread messages all over the globe. Connection and consciousness are especially important right now - so after you have listened to this - if you feel like connecting a bit more - walk outside, sit on the ground, hug a tree and even better - take someone with you (preferably a policy maker as a reminder of how beautiful nature is and that an alive forest is worth more than all the timber that could ever be sold - if you try it, let me and James know as we have concluded that that would be a good step to evoke an emotional connection to nature in politicians:))

21 October is International Biomass Action Day. Environmental activists want to draw attention to the increasing conversion to bioenergy - and the consequences for our forests and ecosystems. Burning wood pellets instead of coal is supposed to counteract climate change, because wood is "renewable". But does it really make sense to cut down forests to generate electricity? I talk about this with Dorothee Babeck from the Bob Brown Foundation. - Am 21. Oktober ist International Biomass Action Day. Umweltaktivisten wollen auf die zunehmende Umstellung auf Bioenergie aufmerksam machen – und die Folgen für unsere Wälder und Ökosysteme. Mit der Verbrennung von Holzpellets anstatt von Kohle soll dem Klimawandel entgegengewirkt werden, denn Holz ist „regenerierbar“. Ist es aber wirklich sinnvoll Wälder abzuholzen um Strom zu erzeugen? Darüber spreche ich mit Dorothee Babeck von der Bob Brown Foundation.

In this episode of Out Of The Blue, we get the latest on the Tasmanian governments plan for the farmed salmon industry. We're joined by Peter George from the Tasmanian Alliance for Marine Protection.We're also joined by Alastair Allan from the Bob Brown Foundation to discus what's happening in Antarctica, where governments around the world are deciding whether to create large new marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean.

There were 10 million koalas in Australia before colonisation. Now there are only about 30,000 left. The most important step for the survival of the last populations is to save their habitats, the forests, which are being cut down more and more. Dorothee Babeck is the coordinator of a campaign of the Bob Brown Foundation, which has set itself the goal of encouraging Australians to join in the attempt to save the Koalas and has used the children's book character Blinky Bill for this purpose. - 10 Millionen Koalas gab es in Australien vor der Kolonisierung. Jetzt sind nur noch etwa 30.000 übrig. Der wichtigste Schritt für das Überleben der letzten Populationen ist die Rettung ihrer Lebensräume, der Wälder, die immer weiter abgeholzt werden. Dorothee Babeck ist Koordinatorin einer Kampagne der Bob Brown Foundation, die es sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat die Australier zu animieren dabei mitzumachen und hat dafür die Kinderbuchfigur Blinky Bill eingesetzt.

This episode was actually recorded on lutruwita country back in March; I had just come out of the takayna/Tarkine rainforest learning about the plight to protect it with the Bob Brown Foundation, and I went to Launceston to meet with today's guest. It was first thing on a Monday morning and we jumped straight into some BIG issues. If I had to pick a theme for the conversation it would be: TRUTH You see in the first half of this conversation he shares his story; about being true to himself. He shares his story about being a big-time banker in the World Trade Centre in New York, and how he turned his back on that world to pursue his own truth, ultimately getting inspired by and involved in the protest against the Iraq War, then rallying against a pulp mill on his doorstep in Tasmania, to becoming a federal senator advocating for environmental and social causes. Quite the journey. In the second half of this conversation we talk about the post-truth world of politics and the media. He goes into detail the case around Julian Assange, the precedent that this case sets for media freedom, and the corruption by governments around both this case, and the Iraq War. It's heavy, it's dark, but it's SO important to have open conversations about these things. To learn the history, the details, and the reason why these issues matter so much to all of us. And of course, we talk about what we can do about it. It's not just about pointing the finger, but highlight actual opportunities for us to act upon. I was so happy to be able to reach out directly to one of our elected representatives and have this type of conversation. It's rare in our world of 24-hour news cycles and clickbait. And as soon as I sat down with him I could tell this was a really genuine human being who was just being true to himself, whilst fighting for the truth. So strap yourself in for this one, with Senator Surfer, Peter Whish-Wilson

This episode is from The Overview Effect with James PerrinUsually I'm on Bundjalung country, but THIS episode was recorded on takayna land in lutruwita (otherwise known as Tasmania), and I'd like to pay respects to the takayna people, and all first nations people of beautiful lutruwita. I have been here in Tasmania for the last 5 days and if you've been listening to recent episodes or following me on Instagram, you'll know that I was running the takayna ultramarathon. This is a 51km trail through the pristine Tarkine rainforest, the largest temperature rainforest in Australia; and it was AMAZING. And brutal. The run was brutal. The course was super technical, with lots of really steep hills, climbing over and under fallen trees, bush bashing, heaps of rocks and mud, river crossings; it really was something else. But it was incredible, and I am so grateful to have experienced it, and I highly recommend anyone listening to come and do the run next year. And that's not JUST because of the specular running experience, but because it was all for a cause. See were running to raise awareness and funds for the Bob Brown Foundation to protect this place, which is every day under threat of logging and mining. The team and volunteers at the Bob Brown Foundation are truly amazing, and the passion and the community that they've been here around this cause is so special. I had the absolute pleasure of spending the day after race at their forest defenders camp meeting many of them and learning about their front line actions and seeing the devastation that they're trying to stop. So this is what I'm sharing with you today. I have two guests today: one of them is Scott Jordan who is a takayna campaigner, and we sat down in the rainforest at the defender's camp where he will take you through all of the details about what the forestry activities and doing to the landscape, the environmental impacts, the socio/political situation, the economics of the situation, and how this campaign is at the core of the politics in this country. MOST importantly, he shares what you can do to help the fight. This is really important because it's not just a local issue. In fact, people outside Tasmania have a really key role to play in this fight so please listen in to what Scott has to say about hat. But first, you'll hear someone to set the scene, and tell us about how special the Tarkine is, and the destructive societal mentality that is leading to these sorts of activities in the first place. He is the grandfather of the environmental movement in Australia. He led the successful blockade in the Franklin River in the early 80s. He helped establish both the Wilderness Society and Bush Heritage Australia. He co-founded the world's first Green political party, and held seats in various state and federal houses. He really needs no other introduction, of course I'm talking of none other than the man himself, Dr Bob Brown See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Monday 25th June 2018Dr Bob Brown at the Sustainable Living Festival aroused the audIence to save the TARKINE.  He speaks to a young doctor perched as a protector in a tree to bring that remote forest to the city audience.  We hear from Jane Goodall about young people restoring the web of life or falling into despair and dramatic moments from the Sea Shepherd as it is nearly squashed by two whaling boats.  The audience gave him a standing ovation because he celebrates the altruistic side of us that takes a stand.In an interview with Vivien Langford later down by the Yarra,  Bob Brown urges us to believe in democracy.  Lobby hard to be heard and stop voting for people who will betray us with destructive policies.  He talks about DRAWDOWN actions outlined by his friend Paul Hawkins such as restoring forest management to indigenous people like the Orrang Asli in Malaysia.Vivien shows him some meatless meat and he discusses why he is not a vegan but that the people leading us to a mainly plant based diet are climate heroes.He praises those standing up against new coal mines and fighting the anti protest laws right through to the courts as true patriots.  His message is don’t get depressed ,get active.Campaigns that needs your help to save the Tarkine Forest are through the Bob Brown Foundation.The Goongerah Environment Centre is preventing logging in East Gippsland.Let us know what you are doing in a 100 words and we will read it out on the radio.  Further Reading:
