Trump politics, anti-woke rhetoric and Australian climate policy. Wilderness Society takes on Federal Minister for Environment ahead of election. As Trump shockwaves ricochet around the world, we ask how significant is the President's election for future global climate change action? And how is the changing world order affecting the political appetite for climate action at home? In this episode of Earth Matters we hear from Professor Robyn Eckersley, an academic working at the intersection of democratic theory and climate justice. Professor Eckersley shares her reflections on the dangerous trajectory of global democracy and its impact on Australian climate policy. We also hear from former NSW Fire & Rescue Commissioner and international firefighting expert Greg Mullins about the effect of anti-woke politics on climate emergency workers ability to speak out about climate change.And if you're curious as to why the Federal Environment Minister Tania Plibersek has been absent in the Australian election lead-up, our segment on wildlife protection may provide one clue. We speak to Wilderness Society Campaign Director Amelia Young about the Society's legal challenge to force the Minister to act in relation to the recovery of eleven endangered species.Acknowledgements and notes Thanks to LaTrobe University for sharing the recording of their recent panel discussion Climate Change – where are we now? The discussion was part of a LaTrobe Ideas and Society event that took place on March 17th. Professor Eckersley and Greg Mullins' comments were based on policies current at that time. Some new policy announcements and changes of policy have been announced since then. Thanks to the Climate Council for permission to air their election advertisement. You can check out the Climate Council's election report and election scorecard via these links. Thanks also to Phuong Tran of 3CR for bringing us the story about the Wilderness Society's legal action.

In the Northern Territory, communities are in the fight of their lives. The fracking industry is determined to expand operations, which have so far been exploratory, and begin to produce gas for commercial sale - as soon as this year. This poses serious threats to water security, cultural sites and climate, and has community advocates turning out to protect country and our future. In the second part of this two-part feature on fracking, we hear young advocate Ivy Sheng in conversation with Hannah Ecken (Frack Free NT) and Dr Thomas Hooley (Climate Analytics) about the risks fracking poses to country and our climate. This episode was produced in collaboration with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition's From Us, For Us project, and the interviews were conducted by participant Ivy Sheng. As a high school student, Ivy speaks from a challenging and underrepresented position: that of a young person inheriting a world in crisis.Image credit: Ivy, Miles and Jazmin (From Us, For Us).Earth Matters #1497 was produced by Mia Audrey on the lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).
Today's show is the first of two exploring fracking, one of the more controversial elements of the government's ‘gas-led' future roadmap.

Speaking at a recent 350 campaign launch, CEO Te Raukira O'Connell Rapira shares learnings from the Rock Enrol campaign in Aoteroa New Zealand, and Olympic medallist Rhydian Cowley poses sport as a point of connection and concern for voters. We also hear from Genevieve Cowie of Doctors for the Environment about the health impacts of climate change and how to speak to elected representatives about your concerns.Together, they convey the gravity of this political moment, and pose ways forward for those of us concerned about the election and our future.

Some people see a city as streets, buildings, and infrastructure. Troy Innocent sees it as a playground.A BMX-riding, LEGO-city-building, world-maker from childhood, Troy never stopped playing. But instead of keeping it to himself, he turned his playful instinct into The Future Play Lab.At RMIT, Troy is transforming how people interact with public spaces through speculative design, urban play, Indigenous knowledge and augmented reality experiences like 64 Ways of Being. From risky play in childhood to playful interventions in cityscapes, Troy and The Future Play Lab are proving that play isn't just fun; it's how we reimagine the world. ______________________Hello there!We're Dr. Jane Hession and Ronan Healy. We're a husband and wife team and co-founders of the service design studio How Might We - www.howmightwe.design We're passionate about Serious Play and provide online, in-house training in the LEGO Serious Play method worldwide. Please say hello, if you would like to bring the LEGO method to your organisation.We also do in-person training across Ireland and the UK www.howmightwe.design/lego-serious-play-ireland ______________________Troy who? Dr Innocent (he/they) is an urban play scholar, artist, game maker and Director of the future play lab at RMIT University in Narrm Melbourne. The lab develops socially engaged and site-responsive urban play connecting experimental game design, public space, posthuman methods, and creative technologies. Working with the city as a material, their approach to reworlding develops posthuman methods that reimagine, reconfigure and reconnect with the world. This involves transdisciplinary practices across design, sculpture, animation, sound, light and installation using methods of multiplatform storytelling that connect objects with their environment to build speculative worlds that playfully defamiliarise and disrupt urban life.Troy has 25 years of experience in gallery-based exhibitions, symposia and site-specific projects, developing augmented reality games that blend physical objects with digital interfaces to reimagine everyday urban environments in playful ways, situating his work in Aarhus, Melbourne, Bristol, Barcelona, Istanbul, Ogaki, Sydney, Tampere and Hong Kong. They are the creator of 64 Ways of Being, an urban adventure platform combining audio walks and mixed realities to situate players in new experiences of place.Contact DetailsEmailtroy.innocent@rmit.edu.auLinkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/troy-innocent/ Website http://futureplaylab.io Twitter @playablemelbAdditional Resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_De_Koven https://direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/2338/Critical-PlayRadical-Game-Design https://www.dukeupress.edu/staying-with-the-trouble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Briggs https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Making-the-Case-for-Playful-Learning-Ilgaz-Hassinger-Das/142f7fb1e64d444e053eda974860ac7711127de7 Timestamps(0:00) - Dr. Troy Innocent(2:15) - Troy's Childhood and Early Play Experiences(5:03) - Risky Play: How It Shapes Identity(6:58) - Advice to Younger Self: Balancing Playfulness and Seriousness(9:50) - The Role of Intuition in Play and Creativity(13:19) - Striking a Balance Between Seriousness and Playfulness at Work(18:04) - Adult Playfulness: Breaking Clichés and Misconceptions(24:45) - How Urban Play Inspires New Ways of Thinking About the Future(29:25) - Hopeful Play: A Tool for Social and Ecological Change(35:01) - Exploring Melbourne's Hidden Histories Through Play and AR(39:41) - 64 Ways of Being: Augmented Reality and Storytelling(42:10) - Lego Build: How Troy's Work Helps People See the World Differently(47:00) - Playlabs as a Catalyst for Change in Academia(50:34) - Entangling People in Creative Ways of Thinking

Native Title and Nuclear Colonialism "The sacred sites we're protecting have been handed down to use from generation to generation... We're fighting to protect that country because that's where it all is... Our spirituality is out there, that's our church, our grocery shop, our butcher's, our pharmacy. Everything that we have been taught over all our lives is on country." - Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine In the wake of Peter Dutton's nuclear energy plan announcement, First Nations organisers and allies are wondering where all the waste will go, and calling out the corrupt consent processes used by corporations and governments to get away with desecrating country. We hear from Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine and Bundjileenee Robbie Thorpe, as part of a panel discussion at the recent Nukes-Free Gathering on Wurundjeri country. Drawing on decades on the frontlines, they share the truth about Native Title, the corporatisation of consent processes, and what happens when Southern Launch wants to launch rockets from your country. The Nukes-Free Gathering was a project of Old Country Calling and Nuclear Free at Friends of the Earth.

Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines//Today we heard the third instalment of Spike's conversation with Iain McIntyre from the Commons Social Change Library. Last week Iain talked about the resources available at the CSCL, who uses them and the importance of history in developing campaigns to address the present and future. In this the final segment, Iain and Spike talked about some of the social forces that work against acknowledging our radical heritage/history, and the importance of crafting counter narratives to communicate and raise awareness of our activist/critical culture. They also discussed how the CSCL's resources have been used by people, highlighting one of CSCL's main aims- to ensure that all its tools and resources are available and accessible to people of all backgrounds and abilities. They also talked about social movements, and the crucial role that the CSCL performs in providing "movement infrastructure,” a place where information and tips can be safely deposited and shared to build strong movements for change. Listen back to part 1 and part 2.//Socialist Alliance Councillor for Merri-bek Sue Bolton joined us to speak about Saturday's National Day of Action for Housing, which in Narrm/Melbourne will focus on a campaign to stop the demolition of the 44 high-rise public housing flats.

On this episode of Women on the Line we hear about current issues faced by migrant and refugee women in both the workplace and more broadly in society in ‘so-called-Australia'. Phương Tran from 3CR Tues Breakfast chats with Dr Ellen Cho, Lecturer at Monash University, about her co-authored report detailing the experiences of women from migrant and refugee backgrounds in Victorian local councils. We then hear Kannagi Bhatt from 3CR Tuesday Breakfast chat with Rati and Lavanya from the Refugee Women Action for Visa Equality. Rati and Lavanya marched alongside a group of women from refugee backgrounds from Narrm/Melbourne to Parliament House in Canberra to advocate for permanent visas and freedom for refugees on the 25th of September.

On this episode of Women on the Line we speak with Iranian-born, Narrm based, visual artist and fine art photographer, Ramak Bamzar, about her show Pro Femina. Pro Femina is currently being exhibited as part of the Ballarat International Photo Biennale at the Art Gallery of Ballarat until 22 October this year. Her show features new works which comment on women involved in the Iranian uprisings of 2022, as well as selected works of her photograph series Moustachioed Women and Rhinoplastic Girls. We discuss themes such as Iranian culture and aesthetics, beauty in brutality and brutality in beauty and Iranian women's resistance and fight for freedom. Ramak Bamzar (born. 1980) is an Iranian-born visual artist and fine art photographer based in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia. Her work explores how cultural and religious norms can shape women's beliefs, values, and behaviours and influence their sense of self-worth and agency.In her works, Bamzar also investigates the influence of the male gaze on women's beauty and fashion and its consequences on women's self-esteem and self-image. Women who do not conform to these restrictive beauty standards may feel pressured to conform, leading to feelings of inadequacy, shame, and low self-esteem. Bamzar completed a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art– Photography in Tehran and her Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in 2022.
On this episode of Women on the Line we hear from Alejandra Munoz, project officer at Dutch peace organisation PAX.

Within that struggle emerges a shared decolonial solidarity between Palestinian and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples where Tasnim and Eugenia talk about a need to move beyond 'reciprocal solidarity'.

The thing about a preparedness mindset is that you are thinking into the future and so if one of those scenarios happens, you've already mentally prepared in some sort of way for it, so you're not dealing with the shock. That's a place as an artist that I feel has a lot of potential for engagement and for communication and bringing audiences along. When you're talking about realities, accepting that reality, has the potential to push us to do other things. It's great to hear about Canada Council changing different ways around enabling the arts and building capacity in the arts in the context of the climate emergency. It'll be interesting to see how artists step up.jen rae, conscient podcast, may 10, 2021, australiaDr Jen Rae is a Narrm (Melbourne)-based artist-researcher, facilitator and educator of Canadian Red River Métis-Scottish descent from Treaty 6 Territory. Her practice-led research expertise is in the discursive field of contemporary environmental art and environmental communication. It is centred around cultural responses to climate change/everything change - specifically the role of artists and creative inquiry. During her PhD, she worked for the Australian Collaboration synthesising IPCC reports and later the Climate Action Network, further noting the absence of creatives in the fields of climate change communication and advocacy. In 2015, Jen shifted focus to the climate emergency specifically on discourses around food futures [through Fair Share Fare], disaster preparedness and speculative futures predominantly articulated through multi-platform creative projects, research, facilitation, and community alliances. I first came across Jen Rae's work through this lecture she gave at Concordia University: The role of artists in the climate emergency. I then started reading and viewing her extensive body of work on art and climate and invited her to share her knowledge and insights. As I did with all episodes this season, I have integrated excerpts from previous episodes in this case, from e19 reality in this episode. I would like to thank Jen for taking the time to speak with me and for sharing her deep knowledge of community art practices and experience in the emerging field of art and emergency preparedness.Jen Rae lives, creates and works on the unceded traditional lands of the Wurundjeri, Boon Wurrung, Woi Wurrung, and Wathaurong people of the Kulin Nation and offer her deepest respect to their elders - past, present and emerging.
