Professor Christine Parker (pictured) last month lectured about "Nudge versus Sludge: The Great Greenwashing and the Failure of Corporate Regulation". And then, coincidently, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) carried a story on its Radion National program, Breakfast, in which corporations were "walking both sides of the street" about alcohol control in the story; "Domestic violence experts criticise NRL for partnership with DrinkWise". The Greenpeace 20-minute movie, "Journey for Justice", follows law student and activist Anjali Sharma as she travels across the Pacific on Greenpeace's iconic ship, the Rainbow Warrior, to hear from those most impacted by climate change. The inspiring new documentary by Greenpeace Australia Pacific showcases how powerful activists across the globe are using the law to hold big polluters to account. Finally, we go to The Green Institute to listen to a webinar hosted by Executive Director, Tim Hollo, who talked with Natalie Bennett about her new book, "Change Everything" during an event "Change Everything – Natalie Bennett on her new book on transformative Greens politics, with guest Christine Milne". Although Tim was reluctant to use its name, "Change Everything" was available from the company whose name began with "A" - my digital copy came from "A".
On Saturday March 23, Tasmanians headed to the polls in an early election – but one issue seemed to be absent in the public debate: the environment.With the Liberals likely to govern for a fourth term in a minority government, most likely with the Jacqui Lambie Network, the future of issues such as native logging, climate change, and marine conservation remains uncertain.So what's next for the island state, the home of prominent environmentalists Bob Brown and Christine Milne, and one of the birthplaces of the global Greens movement?Jacob Gamble speaks with Campaigns Manager at the Bob Brown Foundation Jenny Weber, peaceful forest activist Dr Colette Harmsen, and director of the Monash Climate Change Communications Research Hub Professor Libby Lester.
This week's guest, Tim Hollo, is kind of like Green royalty in Australia. He heads The Green Institute, a think tank focussed on transformative issues in the green space, he founded Green Music Australia, he was the communications director for Christine Milne, and he has been at the environmental game since university in the 90's. His first love, however, was the violin. He's been playing it since he was a child and was in the Australian Youth Orchestra, attending the Atlanta Olympics. Tim's parents are refugees from Hungary and China. He grew up with a brother who also plays music. Tim is a member of Four Play, a string quartet. He has a book titled 'Living Democracy'. It was a treat having Tim on the blower from Canberra. Thanks, Tim!

Environmental groups such as the World Wildlife Fund and the Australian Conservation Foundation are some of the biggest recipients of donations from Australians who want to make a difference for the planet. But increasingly the biggest groups are working with the government and corporate Australia – instead of resisting them. What does that shift mean? Will it help or hinder the fight against climate change? And what does it mean for the future of environmentalism? Today, writer and contributor to The Saturday Paper Ben Abbatangelo on why the environmental movement is divided – at a time when we need it most. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Writer and contributor to The Saturday Paper Ben Abbatangelo and former leader of the Australian Greens, Christine Milne.
Christine Milne is a name synonymous with the Greens in Australia, and for her, like so many others, her environmental career began after she was arrested at the Franklin blockade.In this extended interview, Christine takes us through the highs and lows of her career, and why she believes environmental activists should "just keep going".

Two insightful voices preview the Cop26 Climate Summit starting next week and review Gladys Berejiklian's evidence at today's ICAC hearing.
Year after year, parts of our country are destroyed by floods and bushfires made worse by global heating. And yet multiple prime ministers have lost their jobs when they tried to do something about it. What's behind Australia's weak climate targets and its lack of ambition? In part four, we explore the powerful fossil fuel lobbies and how have they influenced Australia's climate policy over the decades. Including: author Clive Hamilton, former Australian Greens leader Christine Milne, former minister for climate change Greg Combet, Guardian editor Lenore Taylor, director of policy at the Investor Group on Climate Change Erwin Jackson, scientist Graeme Pearman, and Union of Concerned Scientists member Alden Meyer.

A talk by Christine Milne, Bob Brown, Distinguished Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Tabatha Badger, and Todd Dudley, with music by Julius Schwing and Tilly Martin.When Tasmania's iconic Lake Pedder was flooded in 1972 to create a reservoir in the service of hydroelectric power, a unique wilderness was drowned, and now lies 15 metres beneath the surface, dormant but apparently intact. What would it take to reverse the course of history, drain the impoundment, and restore the flooded lake to its original glory? Is such a goal even ecologically possible? Meander through Tasmania's Southwest National Park while contemplating the effort to undo our past actions and rewild our world.The suggested walking location for this episode is Lake Pedder, Southwest National Park, Tasmania.

On the podcast this week, Tina Perinotto, our managing editor, was joined by Tim Hollo, the executive director of the Green Institute.Tim's background is fascinating. He was a political advisor to Christine Milne during the highly volatile Gillard-Rudd years, which arguably had the biggest impact on the climate agenda in Australia.He's also had a background in environmental activism, with many insights gained from his training in law, and the intriguing field of political theatre, where he learnt about some of our most deeply ingrained human traits. Among those is that when it comes to politics, we humans activate the most primitive parts of our brains – the part that works on our fight or flight responses.Now that goes a long way to explain the choices we make at the polling booths.Tim has also spent a lot of time thinking about democracy and why it's crumbling: he says the deliberate obfuscation of reality in pursuit of self-interest can be truly frightening, but there are remedies. He's a great believer in the power of trust and close communication with the people closest to us – our community. He has deep respect for the notion of political ecology, which challenges the dominant political theory over the last 100 years, which sees humans as separate from the natural world and each other. Although Darwinism has led us to believe that competition is the key to a species' success, cooperation has been proven to be just as powerful.
PAUSE EMISSION! IT'S A PANDEMIC.The Beyond Zero Emissions Community show produced by Vivien Langford and Michaela Stubbs. Broadcast at Radio 3CR in Melbourne and Radio Skid Row in SydneyGUESTSGilbert Rochecouste - Founder of Village WellChristine Milne - Greens International AmbassadorJohn Grimes - Smart Energy CouncilTragic times for many as hospitals and unemployment agencies are overwhelmed by Corona Virus.Challenging times for climate campaigners as this PAUSE in global emissions is a fork in the road. CANA chat lunchtime webinars show we could flatten the curve of emissions path we are on. The shutdown of industry in China is reportedly yielding a 25% drop in emissions.Aviation and other transport is slowing and how happy will the elderly be to go on a cruise ship in the future? Could we achieve 700% Renewable energy and not only provision new green industries here but export green energy overseas?The lifting of some pollution means better health and blue skies. But will the global dimming effect of all that smoke mean a rise in emissions? Gilbert Rochecouste, fresh from an epiphany in the Tarkine, talks about pressing the reset button on the rat race.Climate action is often stymied by the elephant in the room which is consumption. How can we reset our lives,to relocalise and share, in the decade when emissions need to plummet? Citizens are leading a new narrative after the drought, the fires and now the pandemic. We are at a tipping point in consciousness. We must not let the big institutions and corporations drag us back to the old paradigm which is destroying the biosphere. Christine Milne spoke to the Beyond Zero Emissions show at the Climate Emergency Summit. She is sure the fossil fuel industry was positioning itself for bail outs at Davos even before the pandemic was declared worldwide. "They are years ahead of in the strategy". We must not supply thecinfrastructure them to o p en up the Gallee,# the Beetaloo and the North West Shelf. In a wide ranging analysis she says we must stop their subsidies. They are not too big to fail and there are many alternatives. John Grimes gave a talk to the People's Assembly on the first day of Federal Parliament in Canberra. Bushfire smoke was still billowing over the lawns and boxes of now rare face masks were on hand for anyone with trouble breathing.He was scathing about the lobbyists for coal,oil and gas who greatly outnumber lobbyists for clean energy solutions. They have far greater access and are a corrupting influence on our democracy. He is a true patriot and impatient for the climate emergency to turbo charge training in all the trades needed for 700% renewable energy.With leadership we could remain as an energy exporter instead of the" international parriah" holding out against the global shift a green economy. # The biggest coal reserve in the world.South Australia is already at 75% and ACT at 100%. But our present renewable energy target is zero.
BUSINESS COLLAPSE and TRANSITION FILM FESTIVAL17th February 2020. Andy Britt -Production Vivien Langford - InterviewsPaul Gilding - Author of Climate Contagion 2020-2025Heidi Lee - BZE Business and Industry ManagerJulian O'Shea - Film "Solar Tuk" Bob Brown - Film "Convoy"Bruce Shillingsworth - Film " When the rivers run dry"Christine MIlne - Ambassador for International GreensAt the Climate Emergency Summit 14/15th Feb, Paul Gilding showed that the threat of collapsing Fossil Fuel businesses will match the climate disruptions we are already facing. Ian Dunlop, whose association with Shell and the Coal Industry gives us an inside view , said they are engaged in "predatory delay" and must shut down within 2 years. Christine Milne saw signs at Davos of the corporations positioning themselves for bail outs.We ask : Are they too big to fail? Will we let them take us down with them? Please sign the declaration.Meanwhile Heidi Lee is helping business and industry to re imagine themselves using non fossil energy, yes even green steel. She waxes lyrical over Arc Furnaces and takes us to where things are really molten. As Simon Holmes a Court said "there is a war on for talent" as coal, oil and gas struggle to find young people who want to work on climate wrecking projects. Heidi is recruiting volunteer engineers to work on projects that leave something to be proud of.Transitions Film Festival starts this week and we speak to Julian O'shea about why he modified a second hand Tuk Tuk to make it go on solar power. He's just been on a tour in India and Thailand. It's a cheaper vehicle than most EVs and will reduce the urban pollution as it beetles about town at 50km p/h. The film Solar Tuk Tuk shows on opening night at the NOVAWe hear Bob Brown calling us to stop the coal trucks, lock the gates against gas and get in the way of logging in the Tarkine. He calls us Bravehearts and the film "Convoy" celebrates the brave people putting themselves in the way of climate disruptors. He was on the platform beside Adrian Burrugubba of the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee.Bruce Shillingsworth comes from western NSW where the Darling/ Baarka river is being robbed of its waters. First Nations people feel abandoned and do not acccept the poor conditions that have left them high and dry and have caused widespread deaths of fish and wildlife. He wishes to unify Australians in the restoration of the rivers and the land. You can see it yourself and be part of the discussion, when the film "When the rivers run dry" shows at the NOVA
The unprecedented and catastrophic bushfires in Australia have killed more than 25 people, burned hundreds of thousands of hectares of land, caused massive devastation to wildlife, ecosystems and the environment, and destroyed hundreds of homes. Even as the world tries to grapple with the enormity of the crisis, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been facing mounting criticism over his government's climate policies and their handling of the crisis. A new misinformation campaign has also been spreading around the claim that the bushfire crisis is the fault of arsonists, seemingly an attempt to dispel the role of climate change in the crisis. We speak to Christine Milne, a former Senator for Tasmania and leader of the Australian Greens, to get the 411 on the crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Smart Energy Conference 2019 Vivien talks to Christine Milne about establishing Green Banks, financing the transition and her experience in Malaysia. She meets father of Taiwan's High Speed Rail and the mother of a start upcalled ZeroMow.
Christine Milne was a former Senator for Tasmania and leader of the Australian Greens, and is considered one of Australia’s most experienced environmental and community activists, with more than thirty years of front line activism. “Clean, Green and Clever” sums up the policy frameworks she pursued during her career in the Australian Parliament, which was focused on driving action on global warming and a transformation to renewable energy and a green economy. One of her proudest parliamentary achievements was the negotiation and passage of the Clean Energy Package in 2012, which was recognised by the International Energy Agency as a template legislation for developed countries. Christine was in Kuching in March for the Clean Energy Collaboration, and she joins us to share why she thinks Malaysia is well-positioned to transition to a renewable energy economy, and position itself as Southeast Asia’s clean energy and renewable industries leader.

Mon 11th Dec 2017BZE radio has spoken often to Christine Milne because she has always been at events to defend the Renewable energy target, the clean energy package and to rid parliament of fossil fuel influence.Her memoir shows “how hard it is not to become bitter about the ruthless ” people in power. Even at a time of bereavement they pressured her to perform.Her awareness of the urgency of climate action and the difficulty of translating that into enduring legislation are a lesson for those who want system change.Vivien took the ferry over to Hobart where the retired senator was surrounded by friends.It was at the launch of “An activist life” in Fullers Bookshop . The atmosphere was warm and full of the laughter and friendship that underpins action.We hear Christine in conversation with Tasmanian historian James Boyce.In the interview that starts this show Christine Milne talks to Vivien about her love of history and Science. She reports that climate activists now are facing much harsher penalties than in her day when she was jailed over the Franklin River campaign.It is tough in parliament and it is tough pressuring parliament. But it is tougher if you are a forest animal in a logging coupe. It is tougher if you are a child now whose climate will be irreversibly changed. So as Christine says,”I know you will never give up”.Links:https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/nov/19/my-granddaughter-will-be-35-in-2050-i-grieve-that-she-will-know-silent-and-empty-places?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_OutlookACE CRC – http://acecrc.org.au/Production- Andy BrittInterviews- Vivien LangfordPodcasts-Jodie Green and Roger VizePromotions? – YOU!.

Mon 4th Dec 2017World Antarctic Day, December 1st- 2017 was celebrated by a huge Marine Protected Area in the Ross Sea coming into force. As the head of International Greenpeace Antarctic Campaign Frida Begtsson said “Healthy oceans take in vast quantities of CO2 and are essential in tackling climate change”Tonight BZE radio goes to the cryosphere where you will meet scientists and sustainability leaders we can be proud of. You will hear about Katabatic winds,krill, ice cores that show Australian droughts centuries ago and ocean circulation that controls the climate.After visiting the replica of Mawson’s hut in Hobart, Vivien went past a sculpture of Roald Amundsen and into the epicentre of Antarctic research ACE CRC. It’s near Salamanca Place.Dr Jan Lieser is a marine glaciologist. His satellite technology helps him advise ships as the summer seasonstarts.. Sea Ice is his speciality as it expands and contracts every year. It doesn’t affect sea level but its great pulse churns the ocean circulation that controls our climate. A film he wants us to watch is called “Chasing Ice”David Reilly is the public affairs manager at ACE CRC. He talks with pride about the united nations of scientists beavering away in the labs and the benefits of co-operation. Their research can be immediately used by farmers, as a snowfall in Antarctica can predict a drought in W.A. Publications and media outreach have taught him to tell it straight. Climate deniers may cherry pick the data but the scientists’ job is to inform the world in a clear and dependable way.Corey Peterson is at The University of Tasmania. His interest is more with krill, penguins and the policies that will protect them. He sent Christine Milne two jars of deep Antarctic water to remind her that climate change may be happening out of sight but her battles for enlightened climate policies in parliament were appreciated.
