Podcast appearances and mentions of Scott Ludlam

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.

Australian parliamentarians, from across the party divide, believe it's time for the United States to stop its pursuit of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. Assange remains in a UK prison, despite defeating a US extradition request. If the US appeal succeeds, he faces espionage charges, and the possibility of a long jail term. Should Assange be freed from prison, and the charges against him dropped? What are the free speech implications for journalists, news outlets, and publishers? Do we need additional protections for whistle-blowers and the media?

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. While the book is sobering, Scott also asks “How can we can make our systems more humane, regenerative, and more in tune with nature?”Join Scott and I for a wonderfully explorative dive into the book!

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. What are the limits of journalism when reporting on state apparatuses, and what is a publisher's responsibility when dealing with state secrets? #TWCFifthEstatePresented in partnership with Bendigo Writers FestivalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the final episode in the Policy Forum Pod mini-series on leadership, author and former senator Scott Ludlam joins us to discuss challenging the political status quo and why more distributed forms of leadership might be an effective way to create change.What do Australia's climate policy failures reveal about the country's political system and leadership? Can a move to a more distributed, decentralised form of leadership lead to substantial change? And what role can non-traditional forms of leadership - from investor activism to school climate strikes - play in achieving better outcomes for Australia's environment and society?

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.

While most think of Australia as a successful democracy underpinned by liberal values, it’s increasingly clear that we may not be immune from the global rise of xenophobic and nativist forces. Some are concerned that populism is pulling the Liberal Party and sections of our media to the right and will have implications for years to come. Associate Professor David Blaazer speaks with The Rise of the Right author and one-time Liberal Party adviser Greg Barns, writer for the ABC and Guardian Australia Jennine Khalik, former Greens senator Scott Ludlam and political writer George Megalogenis about the issue.

The digital revolution continues to unleash change on industries, economies, politics and institutions – and remake personal lives. What shape will the future take in the wake of this disruption? Will the brave new worlds of Facebook, Amazon, Google and Uber create decentralised, anti-elite utopias where all individuals are free? Or will they produce dystopic monopolies, characterised by surveillance and control? Scott Ludlam, Bronwyn Carlson, Mark Pesce and Frances Flanagan talk to Griffith Review editor Ashley Hay.

Matt Clark is the Technical Director at The Voxel Agents and  he joined us this week to speak about their upcoming game The Gardens Between. This stylish and calm puzzle game drops two friends into surreal nostalgic worlds where players do not control their movements but the direction of time itself.

Her research is focused on transnational political movements resisting mass surveillance. Indymedia's Karun Cowper spoke to Felicity about her PhD dissertation entitled "The Fourth Eye: Australia’s Role in the Five Eyes before and after Snowden". Even in the age of the Trump presidency, Australia's political leaders and media maintain their unquestioned subservience to our US masters...

Indymedia's Raymond Grenfell speaks to Greens Senator Scott Ludlam regarding the implications of changes to government policy on metadata retention and the recent breach by the Australian Federal Police.

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. Just search for "pixelsift" and you'll find us!

Episode 50 you guys! Senator Scott Ludlam is a Greens Senator for Western Australia. He’s co-deputy leader for the party and its spokesperson for issues such as communications, housing, mining and nuclear power. Whilst in Perth I chatted with Scott about everything from DJing to his viral hit speech to the cult of personality to his journey into politics to why he’s a “Senate nerd”. Plus the issues that drive his passions: nuclear disarmament, digital rights, Julian Assange, our shitty foreign policies, the TPP, the NBN and the possibility of a Greens government.

It's the end of another season! James is moving to Melbourne for six months for a sweet sweet job so in the meantime we're calling this an indefinite hiatus. We could have gone out like Scrubs and had every guest who ever appeared on the show in the last episode, but instead we thought we'd get a firm favourite Kara Schlegl back in the hot seat. We chat about the week's news as normal for the first half of the episode (which went to broadcast on 2SER on March 15) but we thought we'd do a little bit extra for you podcast people who have been with us from the start. Bryce joins the conversation and we go roundtable discussing a few scenarios involving AusPol characters. It's... a little chaotic but totally worth it for Nick's new nickname for Scott Ludlam at the end. Thank you to 2SER for picking up the show over the last 6 months. Thank you to Bryce Halliday for producing every incarnation of the show from its inception. Thank you to all our wonderful guests who helped us develop the show. Thank you James Colley and Nick Fischer for creating a great show format and trawling some of the darkest corners of the internet to find great comments. And of course thank you to you idiots for subscribing and sharing the show and being bothered to read all of this text. You're amazing. Please follow us all on Twitters and Facebooks to keep up with the other things we're doing. There's a lot going on. James is @JamColley and has a website. Bryce is @MrBryceHalliday and brycehalliday.com. And... I dunno, add Nick Fischer on Facebook or something.

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.

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
