In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, live from the Newcastle Comedy Club during the Rising Tide blockade, it’s a special Boxing Day panto! As a young man getting into green politics, former senator Scott Ludlam wrote the play Atomic Oz - “The story of the nuclearisation of Australia and how ordinary people can get in its way. Played out on a giant map of Australia, the show travels from 1947 to 2001 in a circus sideshow of military, industry and Prime Ministerial figures doing their stuff with the assistance of the Public Relations aide and their pet monstrosity 'the Friendly Atom'. This 45 minute show, packed with comedy, song, dance routines and pyrotechnics, is about celebrating our community’s desire for the 21st century to be nuclear free.” Emerald and Tom are joined by youth protester Rosie and NSW Legislative Councillor Sue Higginson for a live reading of an extended excerpt from the play!

Join Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr Sue Wareham, former Senator Scott Ludlam, nonviolent conflict resolution expert Felicity Gray, WagePeace activist Margaret Pestorius and Green Institute Director and our candidate for Canberra, Tim Hollo, to discuss what it would actually look like to have an approach to international relations in contemporary Australia that centred peace and nonviolence.   The Morrison government recently announced that it will spend over $90 billion to purchase nuclear submarines that will undermine friendly and trusting international relations.   This has launched a much needed discussion about how we as a nation want to engage with the world.   But the many voices for peace have been missing from this debate.   It's a travesty that any discussion about peace and nonviolence is ignored and dismissed by a hawkish and bullying government, a timid Labor opposition, and a media establishment who can't seem to envision anything other than the status quo.   That's why we are presenting a conversation on peace and nonviolence in Australian foreign policy, co-hosted with the Green Institute and the Medical Association for the Prevention of War.

Opening season 5 with this episode seems fitting, with the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) damning report that found escaping human caused climate change is no longer possible. Even if earth's climate was stablised in the near future, some of the climate change induced damage could not be reversed in centuries, or even millenia. We should expect worse fires, longer droughts, and more severe floods.My guest today is Scott Ludlam, former deputy leader of the Australia Greens and Senator from 2008 – 2017. Scott is a lifelong climate activist and for his first book, Full Circle is a deep exploration of the failures of the financial and political systems that have led us to this place in time, where political, human and natural systems are on the verge of collapse.

Sally Warhaft, Peter Cronau and Scott Ludlam in conversation on stage at Bendigo Writers Festival. Why is WikiLeaks so important? What is there to be learned from the documents released? According to the writers in A Secret Australia, the leaking of hidden government documents yielded knowledge that is essential for journalists and institutions to analyse the consequences of covert and unaccountable state power. “We open governments” is WikiLeaks' motto, yet its crusade for transparent, accountable government has led to criminal charges being laid against its founder, Julian Assange, and whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Assange now faces espionage and hacking-related charges from the US government. A Secret Australia's co-editor Peter Cronau and contributor and former Greens Senator Scott Ludlam joined Sally Warhaft at Bendigo Writers Festival earlier this year for a discussion about what is kept from public view and why.

In 2010 Premier Colin Barnett told the Chamber of Commerce that Perth was headed for a "decade of light rail." Ten years on, the city transport planners have a full desk of tram routes announced, reformulated, abandoned, promised and now quietly delayed. Understorey's Adrian Glamorgan takes us through the early warnings of Senator Scott Ludlam in 2011, and the hopes in 2016 prior to the last state election by Labor's Shadow Transport Minister Rita Saffioti that light rail would be an equal Stage 1 priority. But with Labor's heavy focus on the heavy rail component of Metronet, by 2019 the department had only lodged a light rail "problem identification" with Infrastructure Australia, short of a business plan. But there may be hope for Metronet's missing links. Tom Griffiths from the Southwest Group (an alliance of six councils southwest of the river, from Melville to Rockingham) discusses the "proof of concept" case the councils have made for a Murdoch to Fremantle dedicated public transport corridor, possibly for light rail or the trackless tram. In Victoria Park, once home of Perth's tram depot, Greens candidate Tim Young calls for a range of transport responses, to ensure urban infill supported by an array of transport responses build a convivial city towards 2050.

Its federal election time here in Australia and with less than 48 hours until voting begins. We were fortunate enough to have a chat with Western Australian Greens senator Scott Ludlum. The Greens have just announced a policy to not improve funding for game development in Australia, but broaden incentives for foreign companies making games in Aus based on feedback provided by the industry. With a half quota for senate seats, and polls sitting and nearly 50/50 smaller players like The Greens could have a big say in Australia's future.  We’re also talking violent vs non-violent problem solving in games. It seems that more often than not developers are pointing us toward an armoury as opposed to a handshake or negotiation. We explore why this is. Can we find peaceful solutions to the problems in our games without pulling the trigger on sight? Lastly the team take a closer look at Twitch’s new “Cheering” initiative. This new tool provides an alternate option for viewers to support their favourite streamers, but some people have criticised the margins that Twitch is taking off the top when the transaction is made. The team try to wrap their heads around this new payment system. We asked developers from across Australia who make gaming a big part of what they do.  You can find us on all the social media sites, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube and Steam.

Beyond Zero Emissions is a not-for-profit, volunteer run organisation whose core goal is to develop blueprints for the implementation of climate change solutions. In partnership with the University of Melbourne's Energy Research Institute, BZE are undertaking the Zero Carbon Australia 2020 Project, which puts together fully costed transition plans for getting Australia to zero emissions in ten years using commercially available technology.Last year I attended their launch event for the Zero Carbon Australia Stationary Energy Plan which goes into detail about how Australia can reach 100% renewable energy within a decade. Speakers at the launch included former NSW premier Bob Carr, member for Wentworth Malcolm Turnbull, Greens Senator Scott Ludlam and Matthew Wright, Executive Director of BZE. The event was hosted by journalist Quentin Dempster.In this podcast, with permission from Matthew Wright, I bring you Matthew's speech at this launch which details the science behind their proposal. I also chatted to BZE volunteer Petra Liverani at the recent Say yes to a price on carbon pollution rally in Sydney.Click play below or listen to this show here: If you'd like to hear what Turnbull, Carr and Ludlam had to say, check out the full video of the launch below, reproduced here with permission.

Ep. 24 Alice Springs Convergence, Greens Radioactive Waste Dump legislation, Carben Offset watch and Green Jobs. Aired on 2ser October 9th This week's guest is Hannah Walters who reports-back on the convergence in Alice Springs against the NT Intervention. Greens Dump legislation With the ALP election promise to repeal the Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management Act, you'd be forgiven for thinking that debate over a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory is no longer relevant. However nearly a year into the Rudd government's term, the act is still in place. Two weeks ago the Greens senator Scott Ludlam introduced a bill to repeal this act. The Third Degree’s James Hitchcock spoke with Senator Ludlam. Carbon Offset Watch You may ride a bicycle to work and have switched to GreenPower at home, without realising there are other ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. More than 50 carbon offset schemes exist, but how do you find what project is sustainbable for you. ‘Carbon Offset Watch’ is a website that ranks Australia’s carbon offset retailers and Anne von Fehrn spoke to one its founders, Dr Chris Riedy from the Institute for Sustainable Futures. Green Jobs Workers in the U.S. are swapping jobs in polluting industries for new ‘green-collar’ jobs in the emerging clean economy. And in Australia, several pilot programs have started which focus on youth in coal-affected communities like the Hunter Valley. This feature is produced by Jessica Minshall and Holly Creenaune. We speak to program co-ordinators, young workers and hear from researchers exploring the potential for green employment. Presenters: Libby King and Jessica Minshall
