Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Richard Weatherby spoke with Sonia about climate related financial disclosure. On 12th January, the treasurey made available for comment some proposed amendments to legislation governing climate related financial disclosure which sounds dull as dishwater, but which could have real implications for our ability to hold corporate Australia to account. We hear an interview between Annie Mcloughlinof 3CR's Solidarity Breakfast and Greta Carol from OCEAN. They mention some of the groups and people who are fighting to block seismic testing in the Otway basin, and the consequences for ecosystems and the environment if it goes ahead. Solidarity Breakfast broadacsts on Saturdays 7.30 - 9am. Di Cousens from Spoken Word speaks with Sara M. Saleh, an Australian Poet. The Flirtation of Girls is her first full length poetry collection. She brings to her poetry the experience of her Palestinian, Egyption and Lebanese heritage, "bring[ing] the politics of occupied homelands into sharp, unapologetic focus".

On the show today Jack and Freja talk with Lisa about Seismic Testing. You might be wondering - is this a Post-Punk revival band? A cold war relic?Nope... Seismic testing is the process of locating gas and oil deposits deep beneath the ocean floor. This is done by triling an air gun off the back of a boat, which send out sonic blasts 24 hours a day, every 10 seconds, at up to 256 decibels for months at a time. To give perspective, a jet engine at 50m is 140 decibels, so it's no longer a sound than human ears can hear, its more of a burst of energy so powerful that it kills and causes permanent and significant damage to many species of marine life. The full extent of the damage done is not known and that suits the authorites and the gas and oil industry very nicely.Not much is known about the secretive seismic tests being done offshore as most reports into are done by the fuel companies themsleves. The only reliable source of information on Ottaway testing is OCEAN, keep up to date on their events and eyes peeled for a 60 second video by young Apollo Bay filmmaker Jackson Hyett and Patagonia.If you want to look further into titles that have been given by the government and investigate these practices check the NOPTA database.

In the summer of 2021, LHPOST is in the final stages of a $16.3M upgrade that will enable its platen base to move with six degrees of freedom, simulating the full, three-dimensional range of earthquake ground motions: up and down, left and right, as well as pitch, roll, and yaw.

PNN presents SHAKEN not Served We discuss the recent decision by the National Parks Service to allow seismic testing across the Everglades.  The National Park Service it seems has abandoned its responsibility to protect the wildlife. Instead it is answering to a higher “commercial calling”. Join Brook Hines our political commentator and associate producer will bring her keen insight into the democratic process as it plays out as we approach the unconventional season of geo - political statescraft. Our guests will be Longtime Peace Activist Ms Ruthan Amariefio discussing the absence of foreign affairs in our political campaigns. Dr. Karen Dwyer with Stone Crab Alliance  and Matthew Schwartz founder of the South Florida Wildlands Association and Michelle Allen from Food and Water Watch will discuss this SEISMIC TESTING in Big Cypress Preserve as the destructive “foot in the door” for drilling, fracking and the Petroluem Inudtrialization of over 200 square acres.. All with no EIS to safeguard the habitat. We will also welcome progressive  candidate Mike Trout to discuss his candidacy and his run for office. He is seeking help with his petition drive.

Go behind the scenes of the first-of-its-kind structural test conducted at UC San Diego as a five-story mockup of a hospital, including a surgical suite, is subjected to dramatic earthquakes and fire testing in order to better understand how the many complex systems within hospital buildings perform after earthquakes. Teaming up with the California Seismic Safety Commission, this UCSD-TV documentary explored the history of seismic safety for California's hospital infrastructure, and what is being done to secure its future.
