Extreme Spring Heat Signals Catastrophically Hot Summer and Multi-Wave Bushfire Risk for AustraliaGuest: Jeremy Zakis Australian springtime is experiencing unseasonably hot temperatures, approximately 16°C above average. Western Australia recorded 110°F, while Sydney reached 80-90°F. This sustained heat is seen as an ominous sign of a catastrophically hot summer involving droughts and bushfires. However, temperatures are expected to plummet by up to 20°C later in the week. This rapid cycling between hot/dry and cool/wet weather poses a major risk, as rain promotes rapid undergrowth that could fuel second, third, or fourth waves of bushfires. Discussions of La Niña have vanished, focusing instead on Antarctic upper-level wind layers, which are about 30°C warmer. Long-term forecasting is currently "almost impossible." 1864 BUSHFIRE

Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman, Professor Chelsea Watego speaks about her new book, Black Thoughts Matter: Essays on Black Love, Black Power, and Black Joy. In the following excerpt from this week's episode of Women on the Line, Chelsea speaks about Aboriginal women's voices and perspectives that are often missing from public discourse; the censorship and control of white women editors; and the power, the joy, and the importance of embracing rage. This conversation first aired on 3CR's Women on the Line on Monday 22 September 2025.// Tasnim Sammak, a Palestinian activist, academic, and organiser with Free Palestine Coalition Naarm, spoke at the Free Palestine rally on 21 September about nearing two years of the beginning of the genocidal assault on Gaza in the face of an imperialist colonialist advance that is going full speed ahead, with negotiations reaching no solution. On Sunday the 21st of September, various Palestine liberation groups rallied together for the 101st protest against Israel and Australia's complicity in the genocide since the onslaught began in October 2023. The rally drew particular attention to last year's ruling by the International Court of Justice that Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal, and the United Nations demand for Israel to withdraw its military and settlers by 18 September this year. As the deadline came and went, the West Bank continues to be gripped by the expulsion of families, the terror of armed settlers, new waves of illegal settlement building, and repeated assaults on Al-Aqsa Mosque.// Toad is a permaculture designer, community organiser, co-founder of PermaQueer and former director of Permaculture Australia.

Serena is an experienced community organiser and has been involved in organizations such as Resilient Blue Mountains, the Festival of Resilience and Macquarie Alliance for Climate. Serena lives in the Blue Mountains  and has witnessed the impact of loss and threat to her community from bushfires and climate change first hand.

This diverse group—spanning different backgrounds and political views—has come together to voice ongoing support for Palestine and to ensure Australians hear the facts about life under occupation and the on-going genocide in Palestine. Jess speaks about her involvement in last week's sit-in protest in Fraser MP Daniel Mulino's office, why her group is advocating for the Australian Government to sanction Israel and the way that protestors are portrayed in mainstream media.

Black Saturday razed towns, Canada’s Fort McMurray wildfire forced 88,000 people to flee, the LA fires obliterated over 12,000 buildings and Australia’s Black Summer fires scorched 24 million hectares – an area the size of the United Kingdom.

In Fire Weather, award-winning Canadian author John Vaillant tells the gripping story of a city consumed by flame – a harbinger of what’s to come in a hotter, drier, more combustible world. Joined by UNSW bushfire behaviour expert Jason Sharples, listen in on a conversation on the science of fire, the galvanising power of storytelling and how we can survive in a world where the line between our natural and built environment is increasingly blurred – and increasingly flammable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand experiences more than 4,500 wildfires every year – and the risk of big, destructive wildfires is increasing with climate change.  Ellen Rykers visits the fire lab at the University of Canterbury, a purpose-built facility for setting things on fire and studying how they burn.  Researchers can burn couches or create fire tornadoes. But today, Ellen is with PhD researcher and firefighter Kate Melnick, who is researching gorse, a prickly shrub that is both common and flammable.  We join Kate as she sets up a large gorse bush in the lab, ready to burn.

Have you ever heard of the concept of spontaneous shaking before? The topic on the show today is one I've been really interested in learning more about. My guest, Richmond Heath, is a pioneering force in health innovation and cultural change. A physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience, Richmond introduced TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) to Australia in 2010, training over 5,000 people in the deliberate use of spontaneous shaking for healing. During COVID, he created the world's first online TRE course, which has since reached over 13,000 participants globally.His work extends beyond borders, providing trauma recovery support to survivors of Bushfires, Earthquakes, and war-torn regions. With a background in mental health, men's work, and an Advanced Diploma in Aboriginal Studies, Richmond blends science, cultural wisdom, and a deep commitment to human healing.I'm keen to learn more about his transformative journey—from high-functioning anxiety to a life of purpose—and explore how shaking might just be the missing link in trauma recovery and personal growth. Hope you're ready for a fascinating conversation - I'm excited!For more information about Richmond, check out these places;-Website: Richmond HeathInstagram:   Richmond HeathLinkedin: Richmond HeathHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;-

Thousands of homes wiped out, entire neighborhoods gone—wildfires in Los Angeles have reached a terrifying new level. But could something like that happen here in Australia? Former New South Wales Fire and Rescue Commissioner Greg Mullins joins us to break it all down—how bushfires are getting worse, why they’re becoming harder to fight, and what that means for people living near bushland. Greg shares his firsthand experience working with fire agencies around the world and explains how bushfires are now turning into full-blown urban firestorms. We get into why hazard reduction burns are getting trickier, what building codes can (and can’t) do to protect homes, and the brutal reality that some fires just can’t be fought. It’s a conversation that every homeowner—especially those in fire-prone areas—needs to hear. So what can we actually do about it? Greg’s got some straight-up advice, plus a few surprising facts that might change the way you think about bushfire risk.

After retiring in 2017, he rejoined the Rural Fire Service and was on the frontlines during the 2019–2020 Black Summer. Concerned about worsening climate-driven disasters, he founded Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, rallying former fire chiefs to push for urgent policy change. He continues to serve as a Climate Councillor and holds advisory roles shaping bushfire and emergency response strategies.
