Peter Haggar, the owner takes us on a deep dive into the philosophy behind a new relationship with the forest. We talked about the quote on their wall which said"When our worldview is nolonger compatible with our knowledge of the world, isn't it wiser to alter our worldview rather than altering the facts?"Peter talks about local people still in shock, living in tents, un sure how to make themselves safe in the future. He says they have had an existential shock and although many voted for the old solutions, many more are seeking something new. He was influenced by an Australian Philosopher Val Plumwood who wrote "Feminism and the mastery of nature"Peter Haggar sees pluralism as the way forward. So even for city people, any stand for the plurality of gender, race or class is part of the same battle for the diversity of nature. The cultural management of land involves learning about hunderds of bio regions and how to deal with them, so learning to read the land like this is urgent climate action. .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Plumwood(link is external) Vivian Harris was on week 71 of her her stand in front of Bega valley Council and before that the local MP under a Banner saying "CLIMATE ACTION NOW". She talks about the people who sit down to chat with her. Some are worried about their grand children, some are in denial of the science but all have been awed by the drought and bushfires. Despite her shyness she has learned courage from Greta Thunberg and the ripples from her non confrontational presence are felt in other communities like Geelong, where she connects via social media with people making a stand. Jo Dodds is famous for standing up to PM Turnbull after the Tathra Fires telling him Now is the very time we should be talking about climate change" She is now involved in taking the EPA to court with Bushfire survivors for Climate Action.https://www.facebook.com/bushfiresurvivors/(link is external)They want to work with Matt Keane to develop adequate policies around climate change to prevent worse disasters. She talks about the smoke related deaths and the psychological trauma of prolonged fire.

In this episode of Politics with Michelle Grattan, former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull gives his frank assessment of Scott Morrison as a former colleague and as prime minister, warns about the right of the Liberal party, and tongue lashes News Corp. As Treasurer, Morrison at times infuriated then PM Turnbull by leaking to the media and “frontrunning” positions before decision were made. “Morrison and I worked together very productively” but “he had an approach to frontrunning policy which created real problems for us,” Turnbull says. As for now, Morrison’s “obviously got massive, completely unanticipated challenges to face … I think he’s doing well with them by the way. … I think the response of Australian governments generally [on coronavirus] has been a very effective one”. Turnbull’s anger against both the Liberal right wing and News Corp continue to burn undiminished. The right, “amplified and supported by their friends in the media, basically operate like terrorists”. News Corp “I think was well described as ‘a political organisation that employs a lot of journalists’”; The Australian “defends its friends, it attacks its enemies, it attacks its friends’ enemies, and the tabloids do the same.”
In Two Tribes, Christopher Pyne & Anthony Albanese joined David & Will to discuss the fallout from PM Turnbull's 30th consecutive negative NewsPoll & whether Bill Shorten has the support of the entire Labor Party. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We kick off with a little housekeeping this week and a few apologies! Then it's on to PM Turnbull and THAT 30th News Poll and Corrie's critique of Bill Shorten who seems to lack a bit of 'cut through' of late. [10:00] With the Royals in the country we discuss Prince Charles the royal visit and get a sneak peak at Corrie's reading for next week Tom Bower's 'Rebel Prince'. [16.00] We scrutinise some recent journalistic decisions and weird reporting - including the Michael Clarke 'comeback' story and the latest revelations in the Geoffrey Rush saga. [20.30]. Plus it's 50 years since Bernie Taupina and Elton John met and began creating incredible music - Caro and Corrie choose a few of their favourites from this songwriting power house. [25.30]. In Books, Screen and Food - Caro's been reading 'The Yellow Papers' by Dominique Wilson, Corrie's been bingeing on the TV series 'Occupied' on Netflix and Caro shares her favourite Bill Granger 'Salad Nicoise'. [32.45] Corrie's very grumpy about a customer experience at her bank [42.00] and in 'Six Quick Questions' we talk codewords, Carlton Football Club, Golf and Bridge. [44.00]. Caro gives her 'Crush Of the Week' Daisy Pearce a huge rap. Corrie shares a GLT for anyone being challenged by toddlers eating habits. [51.30] We love getting your feedback - you can join us on our Facebook page, on twitter (@dontshootpod) and send us an email to feedback@dontshootpod.com.au.

The Murray-Darling's Political Flows: Basin Plan under attackIn response to the failing health of the vital inland Murray-Darling river system, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan enables water allocations to be bought back from farmers and irrigators and kept in the river. The Plan doesn't go far enough but is an important step in revitalising the environmental and cultural flows that are essential to the river and the Aboriginal nations whose country it runs through. Recently, rogue Senators and angry irrigators from the South Basin have managed to mount a Senate Select Committee Inquiry into the Basin Plan.We speak with Will Mooney from the River Country Campaign and Darren Perry from the Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations.For more information and to sign the letter calling on PM Turnbull to commit to the Basin Plan on time and in full:River Country CampaignMurray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations
