There is a battle going on for Australia's energy future. I caught up with Dr Colin Long the Just Transitions Organiser at Victorian Trades Hall Council to find out the state of play for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel and nuclear after a recent announcement by the Federal Government of the third offshore wind zone near Warrnambool, Victoria.
Anitra Nelson (pictured) has long been a key player in Australia's degrowth conversation, even talking about the issue before it had been formally described as such.

Over the weekend, Friends of the Earth hosted the epic WALK THIS WAY to raise funds for Friends of the Earth Melbourne. We heard from community members working to transform our world - including Godfrey from Cooperative Power. Today on the show we spoke with Colin Long to give us a bit more information about what Cooperative Power is and how listeners can get involved
September 23rdA GREEN NEW DEAL FOR AUSTRALIAProduced by Vivien Langford at Radio Skid Row in Sydney. Thanks to Raoul, and Andy.Speakers:Naomi Klein – Her new book is On Fire- The Burning case for a Green New Deal Professor Peter Sheldon – UNSW Industrial Relations Research Centre “The Ruhr or Appalachia?”Jaime Yallop Farrant – Climate Justice union in W.AMichelle Maloney – New economics Network AustraliaProfessor Boris Frankel - MSSI – “Fictions of Sustainability: The Politics of Growth and Post Capitalist Futures.”Natasha Heenan – Climate Justice Collective Building a Green New Deal for Australia The Green New Deal is an idea in gestation. We explore the work that needs to be done in Australia to inspire a groundswell of civil society to take personal and collective responsibility for averting climate catastrophe. The CFMMEU asked Peter Sheldon to find out what’s best practice in the transition away from coal fired power. He says we do not have a good record on structural adjustments . An Economy is not a Society as Dennis Glover shows in that book. And “workers usually get it in the neck “ according to Colin Long. So do we need a Just Transition Authority? If so which model will we follow Ruhr or Appalachia?Naomi Klein launched “The burning case for a Green New Deal at Seattle Town Hall” (Youtube) She wants us to fire up new energies in a transformational new deal for workers currently crushed by capitalism. As fires ravage forests in Australia and Brazil, she urges us to be on fire against the injustices which climate catastrophe is creating.”It’s going to take transformations of how we live in cities, how we move ourselves around, how we grown our food, where we get our energy from.... we live in a time of overlapping crises” All our energies and creativity are need for a green new deal. Jaime Yallup Farrant says “It’s Up 2 Us” we are the ones we’ve been waiting for. She inspires behaviour change amongst corporations, civil society and organisations and talks to us from W.A about the coal mining town of Collie. How can a vision of what they really need energise the move away from coal mining? She quotes Paul Hawken “ If you look at the Science that describes what is happening today and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t have the correct data. If you meet people in this unnamed movement and aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a heart” Michelle Maloney – Director of NENA doubts the Green New Deal if we do not have a complete change of management. Her local hubs to diversify regional economies are part of the solution. The focus of their Conference in Perth will be Collaboration to navigate the increasing complexity of our times. You can see the Green New Deal webinar with Tim Hollo and Prof Bronwen MorganTheir next NENA webinar is Futures thinking for a sustainable Economic Future from UTS. Natasha Heenan is doing her Phd at Sydney university and with Anna Sturmer produced a working document called A GREEN NEW DEAL FOR AUSTRALIA. They want to decolonise, democratise, decommodify AND decarbonise Australia. They are part of the Climate Justice Collective organising a response to climate change. –“Australia needs A Green New Deal, no more centrism" (junkee.com/green-new-deal-australia/210460)
STRIKING FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE: Episode 2/ Trade UnionsPresenter: Vivien Langford Producer: Andy Britt Trade Unions are responding to the global call for action on September 20th. Will you join them?This will be 3 days before the UN Emergency Climate Summit in N.Y. Greta Thunberg will arrive by sailboat bringing with her the hopes of many children unable to vote.Naomi Klein starts the show with a question "What are climate jobs?".Dr Colin Long answers. He is the Just Transition Officer for the Victorian Trades Hall Council. STRIKING in Australia involves harsher penalties than in any other OECD country. But workers from many unions are up for the task of a transition whose scale and cost is unprecedented. They want jobs they can be proud of but do not want to be abandoned as in previous restructuring. Dr Janet Roden takes us to the coal and gas communities she visits for the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association. You will be horrified to learn of the impact on babies even born 200km away from the climate changing pollution. She finds community members confused because there is no clear transition plan. "It's just steam" they say. This is highlighted in her research report for the NSWNMA, "Muswellbrook: between eight coal mines and two power stations". We cannot see the climate impact of the emissions from coal stations and gas wells but the effect on babies and children is witnessed by midwives and nurses every day. She explains why the NSW NMA wants to stand with the children on September 20th. Erima Dall was inspired by the Green Bans and AYCC when she was at university. Now a member of the MUA she drives a crane and is well aware of the tragedies caused by our emissions overseas. She is an eloquent speaker and tells us why MUA members will join the strike on September 20th. Chris Breen is a teacher and member of the AEU. His article "Lessons we can learn from the last Climate Movement" takes us beyond the vague slogans of " Climate action" and "Just transitions". He wants the climate movement to be on the front foot as BZE is, to find where jobs can be created by a nimble government e.g. building the first solar thermal plant at Port Augusta or kickstarting the export of renewable energy from the Northern Territory. Thanks to the MUA who hosted the meeting about the September 20th strike, where I met or heard about today's guests. Thanks to Stephen Langford for liaising.
Kevin and Meg are joined by Colin Long, who will soon be stepping into a role at Trades Hall working on issues relating to climate change, just job transitions and cooperatives. Before that, Howard Marosi updates us about events in defence of public housing. Kevin and Meg start the show with a chat about Amazon, Wetlands, and, for something a little different, capitalism.

Now they're threatening to cut workers wages if they don't have a new agreement before Christmas. Later in the show we'll catch up with NTEU Victorian secretary Colin Long to discuss Swinburne's union -busting tactics. First up we hear from CPSU deputy national president Rupert Evans on the rolling work stoppages across Australia's international airports involving public sector workers. We spoke with Rupert on Monday morning after the first stoppage
Swinburne settles court case with NTEU, which alleged adverse action when Swinburne tried to move staff into a subsidiary company, with lower pay and conditions. Centrelink and Medicare workers take 10 days of industrial action nationwide. And labour activists criticise cuts to penalty rates in a template agreement between the SDA and Business South Australia.

NOTE: THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION OF EPISODE 64. PREVIOUS ONE WAS ACTUALLY 46. Whoops. The Adelaide Feast Festival launches this weekend and runs from November 15-30. It is the queer cultural festival and artistic director Catherine Fitzgerald takes us behind the scenes and titillates us with some of the acts lined up this year. While Feast springs into gear, Dr Who has wound down for its 2014 season so we chat with one of Adelaide's most tragic Whovians, Cathie Tranent. Cathie helps us understand the Dr Who phenomenon and where the series is heading. You might have noticed that in our hijacked version of the Feast Festival poster, Peter Capaldi is top centre, flanked by Colin Long and Susan Lily. Along the bottom row, from left, we have Catherine Fitzgerald, Steve Davis and Cathie Tranent. Susan also reveals her brush with The Church, well, with Steve Kilbey from The Church at his book signing in Adelaide through the week. We read personal mail from a World War Two US serviceman to Adelaide Tech Guy, Richard Pascoe's, mother, as our nod to Remembrance Day this week. In music, Adrian Miller from Radio Adelaide's Monday night music show, Songcatcher, we enjoy the Baker Suite and their song, Evidence of love.

Happy birthday to all, happy birthday to all, happy birthday Boring Adelaide, happy birthday to all. Thank you, everybody, for listening to our show during its first year. We have LOVED your comments, your loyalty, your interest, your likes, your social media sharing, your love for Adelaide and South Australia! For our first birthday show, we left the Anthem Studios and recorded at Cafe De Vili's in Mile End. Many thanks to Vili, Ben, Sam and the crew for hosting us - you helped heaps with your hospitality. We chose Cafe De Vilis because we discovered in episode 50 that Brett Monten and Susan Lily had NEVER eaten the South Australian icon dish, the pie floater. Neither had Nick Kellet, our guest from England and Canada. So our birthday show was chosen as an excuse to baptise them into the great South Aussie ritual of drowning your pie in pea soup and ladelling tomato sauce and a little vinegar on top. We were joined by Rosemount Wines winemaker, John Gledhill, who brought a multi-trophy-winning Rosemount 2012 GSM from McLaren Vale for the SA Drink Of The Week. Chloe Reschke-Macguire from Yelp joined us to highlight some much-loved Adelaide icons. And from our community of wonderful listeners, we had humbling messages from Vincent Brown, Dave Walsh, Alice Carr and Tony Drake. We also reveal the three most listened-to episodes of our first year. And we were joined by our much-loved founding member, Colin Long. Brett also snuck in some high energy music from Kyle Landman.

Adelaide found a new avenger in Lucy Gransbury a former Adelaidean living and performing in Melbourne who wrote a scathing rebuttal to Anthony Sharwood's poison piece about our city. We chat with her via Skype as our first live guest. We also have our first Story From The Street as Sean O'Connor shares some observations about the new Adelaide Oval from up atop the stands. And are we really the City Of Churches? Maybe, but probably not for the reason you are thinking.

[NOTE: Revised version twice over - had to move some audio that had slipped - no content was altered] This week the introduction has been recorded live at Adelaide's annual Credit Union Christmas Pageant, with us secretly hidden inside Wang Wang and Funi on their bizarre float. However, cramped conditions thwarted our plans with Brett and Steve absconding from Wang Wang leaving Colin stuck in Funi. In Colin's absence, the rest of the show was recorded as normal with Nigel Hey joining the crew and bringing with him the McLaren Vale Bushing Festival award winning wine by Rosemount. In other topics, the Adelaide Visa Council hands out some harsh penalties, we discuss a quaint idea for Britannia Roundabout, discuss eating sheep and drinking wine and explore why Adelaideans keep the good things quiet.
