The narrative and origin story of the Voice to Parliament are key to understanding how Australian's will vote in the referendum, says Rebecca Huntley. She talks about soft-yes and soft-no voters, people who do not feel strongly about the Voice to Parliament, their level of engagement and what is important to them. Dr Huntley says her research shows that the majority of Indigenous Australians understand what is at stake in the referendum, and that is not a broader understanding by the rest of the community. Dr Rebecca Huntly is one of Australia's leading social researchers and has written extensively on social trends and attitudes, including around the Voice. She holds degrees in law, film studies and a PhD in Gender Studies from the University of Sydney, and is director of research at 89 Degrees East.

Is Covid just the beginning? The climate crisis has created a unique situation that has the potential to breed many more viruses, forcing animals to migrate to new habitats, creating new inter-species infections.

Today, social researcher and director of research at 89 Degrees East, Rebecca Huntley on whether a budget can actually make us happier. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram.

Liz Truss' future, is polling an accurate way to measure, and how are we now looking at politics? A revisit of an episode that holds relevance today more than ever.

Dr Rebecca Huntley (pictured) had a climate change epiphany about three years ago and was at the recent iDEA Conference organized by the Doctors for the Environment, encouraging medical practitioners to engage with climate issues in any way they can. The Sydney-based social researcher has described her commitment to climate change issues as something of a "hero project" and has written about it in her book "How to talk about climate change in a way that makes a difference". Dr Huntley encouraged all those at the conference to turn to "Climate Compass" to help them better understand climate issues.

“If you're a human being, you have the permission to talk about climate change because it affects us all.

Social researcher Rebecca Huntley thinks we need thousands of everyday conversations about climate change with our friends, family and neighbors to make progress. Researching how individuals approach the climate challenge with different understandings, perspectives and attitudes, Huntley has developed tools for engaging the disengaged, persuading the cautious and increasing the numbers of concerned and motivated Australians.

Recorded at the Australian Museum Thursday 2 June 2022. The ways in which we consume media have shifted, offering us extraordinary opportunities to inform people, bring them together and evoke action. But in this digital era, too much of one thing – or the wrong thing – can make people just scroll on. How do we balance images of loss and devastation with the prospect of a better future? Social researcher Dr Rebecca Huntley has focused on climate change since seeing images of the school climate strikes in 2018. The visceral anxiety and impassioned efforts of the students inspired her to do what she could to make a difference for her own children's generation. In this year's Talbot Oration, the respected Australian author, commentator, climate change strategist and mother will investigate the powerful ways that images can convey the messages of climate change and inspire climate action. Using data and evidence based on years of social trend research, Rebecca will offer reasons why the right imagery can break through the online chatter and spark action. Following her address, Dr Huntley was joined by Tishiko King, a proud Kulkalaig woman and campaigner for climate and social justice, and Dr Saul Griffith, engineer and author of The Big Switch, in conversation with Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt AO.
How we make decisions about debt is shaped by more than just numbers on a spreadsheet; our childhood experiences, values and beliefs play a huge role. What role does shame and guilt play in the decisions we make about debt? Australians are obsessed with buying their own home - more so than anywhere else in the world. Why? And what does this mean for our level of debt? Hear from financial services worker Jess Brady, CEO of Financial Counselling Australia Fiona Guthrie, social researcher Rebecca Huntley and behavioural scientist Nathalie Spencer. Life and Debt is a four-part series, hosted by The Ethics Centre's Cris Parker. Hear from financial advisors, journalists, finfluencers, psychologists and historians about the psychology, the history, the marketing and the future of debt. Created by The Young Ambassadors in The Ethics Centre's Banking and Finance Oath initiative. Our work is made possible by donations including the generous support of Ecstra Foundation - helping to build the financial wellbeing of Australians.
The May 21 election has been branded by some commentators as a ‘khaki election', one in which national security and foreign policy issues will be pivotal in deciding the result. The Coalition government has questioned the ability of the Labor Party to manage increasingly tense relations with China, and its commitment to higher defence spending. But do national security issues sway votes in Australia, and in what circumstances? And how do voters see the relative strengths of the two parties on national security? Richard McGregor, the Lowy Institute's Senior Fellow for East Asia, will chair a discussion between three experts on the issue. Brian Loughnane, Federal Director of the Liberal Party for 13 years from 2003, is one of Australia's most experienced political campaigners. An adviser to federal and state government ministers, he ran four federal campaigns for the Liberal Party. He is also tied into global networks as Deputy Chairman of the International Democrat Union, an alliance of centre-right political parties. Rebecca Huntley is one of Australia's foremost researchers and authors on social trends. She has led research at Essential Media and Vox Populi and was a director at Ipsos Australia. She now heads her own research and consultancy firm working with climate and environment NGOs, government and business on climate change strategy and communication. Rebecca was a broadcaster with the ABC and is on the Executive Board of the NSW branch of the Australian Labor Party. Tony Mitchelmore, the founder of Visibility, a leading strategic communications firm, is a veteran of 12 state and federal elections. He has also advised state and federal political leaders of both major parties on research, messaging and communications. The event was broadcast on YouTube at 12pm AEST on Thursday 5 May 2022.
New DreamWorks Animation feature The Bad Guys opens in theaters this Friday April 22nd.

This episode we have a crack at breaking down the world of opinion polls, and how they influence politics. It’s a recurring topic in our media cycle, and one that the average punter is supposed to just pretend they understand. Two-party preferred, approval rating, Roy Morgan, the list goes on. So we speak to an expert, Rebecca Huntley, to give us the inside line on how they come up with these polls, and why the media and politicians are so obsessed with them. Do they just call 1500 boomers on landlines? How trustworthy are they? And most importantly are they accurate enough to predict the 2022 federal election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perhaps no other issue today is as confronting as our warming earth. What we need are thousands - millions - of everyday conversations about the climate to enlarge the ranks of the concerned, engage the disengaged and persuade the cautious of the need for action. While companies and governments are hugely responsible for the mess we're in, can individuals effect real, significant, and lasting change to solve this problem. Towards the end of October 2021, filmmaker and designer Jenny Pinto engaged authors and researchers Prof. Kimberly Nicholas and Dr. Rebecca Huntley on their work and their books on Climate Change and the shifting of the strategy on conversations around the impending climate emergency.
It's difficult to initiate social change - not only to make people understand that change is needed, but to get them to alter their behaviour and maybe even to get them to give up some things. Two young activists discuss strategies of how to motivate crowds and the power of taking action.
Australia has largely fallen behind the rest of the world when it comes to action on climate change. Even our closest allies regularly criticise our government's slow approach to tackling the issue. While polls show a majority of Australians actually want to phase out our reliance on fossil fuels and move to renewables, there are some who are uncertain on how this future looks. Today, social researcher Rebecca Huntley on what ordinary Australians really think about climate change, and how the fossil fuel lobby has influenced their hearts and minds. Guest: Social researcher and contributor to The Monthly, Rebecca Huntley. Background reading: The fossil-fuel industry's grip on Australian hearts and minds in The Monthly.

One of the enduring beliefs of Australian identity is the idea that we as a nation embody the larrikin spirit, that we're easy going, anti-establishment, laissez-faire. But arguably, behind our ‘she'll be right' veneer, we're an anxious, obedient people living in what some believe is the most over-regulated nation of all of the world's democracies. In this spirited and thought-provoking conversation, David Marr, Joe Williams and Rebecca Huntley separate the shit-stirring from the boot-licking with ABC's Laura Tingle. Please note, this podcast episode contains references to sexual assault and massacres of Indigenous peoples. It also contains explicit language. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are not here to argue whether climate change is real or not. It's real, and it's bad. We are here to ask the much edgier question - should we fight or adapt?Our guests include Rebecca Huntley, one of Australia's leading social researchers, who shifted her entire career to exclusively fight climate change, using her expertise in human behavior to galvanise action.We also have Alan Heeks, a representative of the Deep Adaptation movement, which urges us to accept the catastrophic reality of climate change, and start a process of acceptance, adaptation, and building resilience. This episode turns our attention to the much overlooked emotional responses to climate change. From guilt, fear, anger, grief, acceptance, hope and love - what are the most appropriate emotions, and what are the most helpful as we face this global threat?

Get more of Nourishing Matters to Chew On from https://www.climactic.fm/show/nourishing-matters-to-chew-on/ A complete treat and fun, to speak with Nicole Abadee this week about her wonderful podcast Books, Books, Books and how books nourish and share joy and hope at times like these. Two talkative women, Nicole and I, went on a roadtrip to Scone last March to what was to then be the last ‘live' Writers Festival for more than a year as COVID restrictions kicked in. Within a month or so, Nicole's new podcast Books, Books, Books was up and underway featuring interviews with the best Australian and international writers about their new books that they could no longer promote or share live at book launches, writers festivals and other events. One of Nicole's first interviews was with Julia Baird about her inspiring book Phosphorescence. Julia's very personal and uplifting book about healing, hope and the solace of nature - and immersion in it – is absolutely one that's pitch perfect for the times, and has rapidly become a popular bestseller. Listen in and enjoy hearing from Nic as we chat about and chew on podcasting, why writers write and about some special authors and recent books that speak to and about the precariousness of things and the vulnerabilities of living with climate change, bushfires and COVID, loss and hope. Join us to hear about Claire Thomas's new novel The Performance and James Bradley's Ghost Species, hear practical tips about how to manage eco-anxiety and positively engage with friends and colleagues about climate action from Rebecca Huntley, author or the non-fiction book, How to Talk About Climate Change. And enjoy a bite from the gorgeous book Animals Make Us Human, a compilation of wonderful short pieces about ‘animals' by 40 well loved Australians. Instigated and edited by Leah Kaminsky and Meg Kenneally, this book shares reflections and stories from a myriad of voices who each respond to the grief and loss of so many animals and biodiversity from the 2019/2020 black summer. Animals Make Us Human is an absolute jewel of a book and a call to action. You can look out for and listen in to Nicole's interview with Meg and Leah, out soon, on Books, Books, Books.

This episode is all about creating art in the era of climate change. Specifically theater, which has the power to connect, provoke and inspire people far and wide. Which got Tessa thinking....could theater be the answer to climate anxiety, science communication or even just a subtle push for action? Today's guest is David Finnigan, a writer and theatre-maker who works with earth scientists to produce engaging performances about climate and global change. His plays include Kill Climate Deniers, You're Safe Til 2024, and 44 Sex Acts In One Week. Outside of being a playwright he is also a member of a number of theater ensembles which create interactive science-theater performances for festivals, conferences and schools. Boho in Australia, Coney in the UK and the Sipat Lawin Ensemble in the Philippines. Tessa came across David in Rebecca Huntley book How To Talk About Climate Change In A Way That Makes A Difference. If you've tuned into Ep6 you'll know all about the power of emotions and engagement, and this episode is some ways an extension of that conversation. We chat about David's plays and how he translates scientific research for the stage, why he was wrong about the fires, the power of theater and how we're crossing planetary boundaries.

Introducing Kyla Brettle, radio and audio creative veteran, reading aloud her review of Rebecca Huntley's latest, and much-loved, look at what makes effective climate conversation. Then, hear an episode from the phenomenal End Game Podcast Project, from Castlemaine. The work of Kyla and Rob is audiophonic theatre for your ears.

The vote happened shortly after a monumental petition signed by 400,000 Australians wanting the federal government to respond urgently to climate change - went nowhere. I withdrew my hopes like small change from national politics and I fell into worrying about what would happen to me and my little family as climate change worsens. A declaration of a climate emergency is a bit of a weird thing to long for - or at least it seemed so before 2020, when normal didn't include firestorms and pandemics. At the time I was awakening to the grim reality of our situation - reading long essays about tipping points and deep adaptation - weeping before youtube videos of floating fish and blazing rainforests - coming adrift over plastic waste in a supermarket isle. I wrote about this in my blog. Unable to withstand the tide, I made the inevitable shift from being concerned about climate change to being alarmed. My man and I talked about moving to New Zealand - a relative crevice in the cliff facing the storm. For my part, I realised I didn't want to leave this country - that in some way I had to stand by it. So my focus shifted to the local - a place where I felt I could have some kind of influence - and that took me to my first town meeting about the climate crisis. At the Climate Emergency Town Hall Meeting, November 2019 The speeches at the start of this soundwork are from this Town Hall event - set up to share information about climate change in our shire and the most recent petition to declare a climate emergency. This is where the story started for me. In the photo taken at the event I'm sitting in the front row with the red shoes - a few seats down from fellow sound person and local creek dweller, Rob Law. We didn't know one another then, but a few months later we started collaborating on this sound project. Initially we thought this audio sequence would open the podcast series we intend to make out of the story site - but now we are not so sure.

Dr. Rebecca Huntley, author of "How to Talk About Climate Change in a Way that Makes a Difference," says stick to sports and movies when talking to your right-wing in-laws and save the climate conversations for the people and venues that really matter. Also: Jared gives (satirical) tips for a greener holiday, and new research suggests human made stuff will soon outweigh all living matter on Earth.
For collective action to succeed, we need to influence the influential. Who should we be targeting here, and how do we communicate about climate change in a way that actually makes a difference? We hear inspiring stories of everyday people making big changes through their words, voices and stories, meet friends in the Pacific who've been fighting this fight for decades, and work out how we're going to change course to a heaps better future, together.

Talking about climate change can be riddled with pitfalls...and as it turns out - the scientific facts aren't necessarily the best place to start. In this episode Tessa speaks with one of Australia's best known social researchers and author - Rebecca Huntley. Along with degrees in Law and film studies, and a PHD in gender studies, Rebecca has written numerous books and essays, and is a regular commentator on radio and television. Having delved into some of our most complex social issues Rebecca recently turned her focus to helping the climate crisis and produced her latest book How To Talk About Climate Change In A Way That Makes A Difference. A remarkable study into which emotions are useful and which are not when it comes to climate change communication. In this episode we dig deep into the psychology of the human brain and explore how Australians really feel about climate change, why it's sometimes hard to engage, the perils of politicization and how best to tackle tricky and scary conversations.
This is a guest episode from the Books, Books, Books podcast Rebecca Huntley on looking your children in the eye, managing eco-anxiety, and how to use emotions such as guilt, anger, fear and hope to change hearts as well as minds in the climate change debate. Rebecca Huntley is one of Australia's most experienced social researchers and former director of The Mind and Mood Report, the longest running measure of the nation's attitudes and trends. She holds degrees in law and film studies and a PhD in gender studies, and is a mum to three young children. It was realising she is part of the problem older generation that caused her change of heart and to dedicate herself to researching our attitudes to climate change. She is a member of Al Gore's Climate Reality Corps, carries out social research for NGOs such as The Wilderness Society and WWF, and writes and presents for the ABC. This is her sixth book. A toolkit for understanding our emotional responses to climate change and how we can have meaningful conversations across dividing lines. 'The antidote to climate anxiety is action. Make your first action reading this book.'Osher Gunsberg'Rebecca Huntley has given us a great gift: an essential guide to understanding ourselves and each other as we face the climate crisis. Let's take down the walls that divide us. Collectively, with compassion and courage, we can make real change happen.'Kylie Kwong'Explains whether and how we will choose to solve the climate problem. Immensely important analysis in a great read.'Professor Ross GarnautWhy is it so hard to talk about climate change?While scientists double down on the shocking figures, we still find ourselves unable to discuss climate change meaningfully among friends and neighbours - or even to grapple with it ourselves.The key to progress on climate change is in the psychology of human attitudes and our ability to change. Whether you're already alarmed and engaged with the issue, concerned but disengaged, a passive skeptic or an active denier, understanding our emotional reactions to climate change - why it makes us anxious, fearful, angry or detached - is critical to coping on an individual level and convincing each other to act.This book is about understanding why people who aren't like you feel the way they do and learning to talk to them effectively. What we need are thousands - millions - of everyday conversations about the climate to enlarge the ranks of the concerned, engage the disengaged and persuade the cautious of the need for action.

The Covid-19 pandemic has strained the cohesiveness of our society. People are becoming more and more divergent in their views, and more and more distrusting of opposing views. A lot of people feel more marginalised and categorised while some seek strongly to find someone to blame for this crisis.What will the effect of this be for society in the future? Joining Waleed to discuss this is Professor Michele Grossman, Research Chair in Diversity and Community Resilience at the Alfred Deakin Institute and Dr Rebecca Huntley, Principal at Vox Populi Research.

Step into our VIP, all white, zebra print, smooth jazz bar-cum-weekend RnB club, as we look at the representation of class in romance. Using a book that flips the ‘white male billionaire' trope on its head, Abby and Sam start to question whether we've been reading romance or capitalist propaganda this whole time. We're talking class wars, father figures and why no penis should ever kiss a womb.
