He was a visual designer at the Aquarian festival back in 1973 ever since then has made his art known in Australia and the world. He has been present at many camps to defend nature: Save The Franklin, Stop Roxby Uranium mine, to stop the Whitehaven Coal Mine, Stop Adani, Occupy Wall Street and numerous campaigns to keep Uranium in the ground and for peace.Today Benny gives us the secret of staying so productively active year after year. He also describes arcology; the principle of building living spaces and towns that nurture community in harmony with the natural world.

Andy Paine is from an organisation called Frontline Action on Coal, who use non-violent direct action tactics to try to stop the construction of polluting coal mines. Late last year, Andy and a colleague locked themselves to a train line to disrupt the first full trainload of coal from Adani's Carmichael mine in central Queensland, Australia. We talk about the Adani project, the effectiveness of 'frontline action', and what it's like to be locked to a train line.

Australia is obsessed with coal. The current Prime Minister held up a lump of coal in Parliament and told Australians not to be afraid. Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal, digging up millions of tonnes per year and shipping it across the world, fueling the climate crisis. The speaker will cover the state of play with coal in Australia - from the projects still on the cards and their impacts, and the tactics and strategies campaigners and communities are using to push for an end to coal mining and export. Speaker: Dr Moira Williams For over a decade Moira has been a leader in the Australian grassroots climate movement - from building and supporting a national network of Climate Action Groups to working with landholders, traditional owners and coal affected communities in central Queensland. For the last 8 years she has worked on the campaign to keep coal in the Galilee basin (one of the largest untapped fossil fuel reserves on the planet) safely in the ground. She currently works with Tipping Point - a collective that works behind the scenes to support the national #StopAdani movement - one of the largest and most successful environmental movements in Australia's history.
Aliy Potts and I recently connected over Instagram and she invited me to a Digital Storm to protest against The Adani group's greedy mission to open up more coal mines in Australia which would obviously have detrimental consequences. In this Zoom Session I learned so much from the fantastic Laura Sterling who moderated most of that session. I also got to hear a lot of thoughts and powerful words from Ella Noah Bancroft who is a Bundjalung Activist, Therapist, Mentor, Writer and overall an inspiring, caring and loving woman. I have learned a lot from her in the past years and used a lot from what she said during that presentation in this episode to elaborate on the faults of our current systems and society and how we must look to nature and country to reconnect to and heal this world in order to survive and live a loving, connected and healthy life on this beautiful planet. I thank everyone who made this Digital Storm possible and all of the frontline activists who are currently protecting land and people. This Talk was an emotional one for me and I hope that you can take away a new viewpoint and some inspiration from what I have learned from people that I consider mentors and teachers

The campaign to stop the Adani coal mine from going ahead is being waged in cities and towns across Australia as well as at the Carmichael Basin mine site itself and the Bowen coal port. Annie Close, from the Stop Adani Canberra Group, joins us to discuss the campaign and its strategies for climate justice.
On today's Radioactive Show we turn our focus to QLD where we speak with Miree LeRoy about some recent activities in the campaign to stop Adani's Carmichael mine. Currently under construction on Wangan and Jagalingou country in the Galilee Basin, the mine will become Austalia's largest coal mine if allowed to continue. We discuss various ways to get involved with the campaign: Divestment information can be found at Market Forces, Stop Adani is a central coordinating point for the many groups taking action, Frontline Action on Coal have been stopping work on Adani's railway corridorduring the last week also. The Wangan and Jagalingou are not being listened to, stand in solidarity with the Traditional Custodians and please join us at the Online Rally: Respect Wangan & Jagalingou Human Rights, 6.30pm Monday 30th August. We also hear from Annette Brownlie chairperson of the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network speaking with Jacob Andrewartha (Green Left Weekly Radio) about the Talisman Sabre joint military exercises that saw 17,000 soldiers conduct war manoeuvres in the Great Barrier Reef reserve from July 18-31 and the consequences for the environment, public health and relationships in the Pacific region.
NSW is LITERALLY at war the with virus. We discuss the IPCC report and what to do about it. It's WAR It's WAR! NSW is LITERALLY at WAR with the virus. Berejiklian has said that the police will receive more power and resources than they “needs and want”. Oh dear I left the gas on The 6th IPCC report into the effects of climate change has been released. It's saying mostly what we knew already, just more so. Deconstructed podcast on the IPCC report. Even the International Energy Agency say we must build no new fossil fuel energy. Scott Morrison has made no commitment to net zero emissions. Angus Tayor has made changes that allow fossil fuels to be funded by the renewable energy fund. And increased funding by using tricky methods that only apply to gas or coal. Taylor has also interfered in energy company board structures to keep Australian energy away from clean sources. Barnaby Joyce doesn't know who's going to come up with a plan for an energy transition. Strong opposition QLD Labor Environment Minister: “match the Palaszczuk Government's investment in renewable energy, water quality and land restoration” (bad) WA Labor approved massive new gas projects. VIC Labor Environment Minister: “We need to act on climate change. Quickly and decisively.” (but gas drilling a okay) While… the ALP pledged to re-open Callide Power Station (which exploded) Hot takes Oil execs posting their Ls. Lawyers posting their horrible Ls. The idea of a “carbon footprint” was created by the fossil industry to push blame away from themselves. 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions.

This week we caught up with Nina Atkinson from Tipping Point - a Friends of the Earth project supporting the Stop Adani grasroots movement. The Stop Adani and Beyond roadshows are coming up in early June - and they have a bold new strategy to ensure that no financing goes towards this destrcutive coal mine.Join your local roadshow here (Melbourne is June 1)
Climate fiction, or Cli-fi, meets Sci-fi, meets fan fiction, meets peace literature, all linking up with nonviolent environmental protests in this ragged corner of the universe, with Dr Marty Branagan's tribute to Douglas Adams, boldly titled "Locked On! The Seventh and Most Illegal in the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy." Understorey commemorates International Day of Peace this coming Monday, as Adrian Glamorgan asks Marty about the role of fiction in enabling people to reflect on the protest experience, and link with protests both here and far, far away. Darlington will have its peace fair; various councils in WA will be planting gingko trees to commemorate 75 years since the Hiroshima atomic bomb: how will you celebrate the International Day of Peace in 2020?

Rula Jebreal "che ama le parole" ci ha fatto un dono: raccontare il suo pezzo di inferno per salvarci tutteIl monologo della giornalista palestinese ha commosso l'Ariston nella prima serata del festival.Mia Martini Fammi sentire bella.Australia ora basta La miniera di carbone Adani è un sacrilegio in terra indigena #STOPADANILa controversa miniera di carbone del gruppo indiano Adani, che si dovrebbe realizzare nello stato australiano del Queensland, violerebbe i diritti dei popoli indigeni. L’Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) fa notare che parte di quella che sarà la più grande miniera di carbone al mondo si trova su terreni appartenenti alle tribù Wangan e Jagalingou. Le due tribù combattono il progetto dal punto di vista legale da decenni.Se la miniera dovesse entrare in funzione come previsto, l’impatto sulle tribù Wangan e Jagalingou sarà catastrofico, poiché l’inquinamento diretto causato dal funzionamento della miniera non inquina solo il loro habitat. Il gestore della miniera prevede di prelevare 12,5 miliardi di litri d’acqua all’anno dal vicino fiume Suttor. Inoltre l’estrazione del carbone si svolgerà in parte in terra sacra, le cui piante e animali sono culturalmente estremamente importanti per queste persone. È uno scandalo che lo Stato abbia cancellato ai Wangan e i Jagalingou i titoli che garantivano loro il possesso delle loro terre ancestrali.L’Australia ha ratificato la Dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti dei popoli indigeni nel 2009. Questa stabilisce chiaramente che le popolazioni indigene interessate devono dare il loro previo consenso esplicito a qualsiasi intervento nel loro territorio ancestrale. Poiché ovviamente non è stato dato nessun consenso da parte delle due tribù, lo stato del Queensland sta violando la dichiarazione ONU sui popoli indigeni.La miniera Adani estrarrà carbone dal bacino Galileo. I combustibili fossili come il carbone sono in gran parte responsabili del cambiamento climatico causato dall’uomo. Gli enormi incendi che attualmente infuriano nel continente australiano sono in buona parte riconducibili al cambiamento climatico. In questa situazione, la progettazione della più grande miniera di carbone al mondo, che consumerebbe anche miliardi di litri d’acqua ogni anno, è stata oggetto di aspre critiche internazionali. Gli esperti si aspettano inoltre che anche la vicina Grande Barriera Corallina, già colpita dal cambiamento climatico, venga ulteriormente inquinata dal funzionamento della miniera.

History of the lecture and in memory of Nancy HillierIn 2016, staff in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales proposed an annual lecture to commemorate the life and work of Nancy Hillier OAM, a prominent figure in the Botany Community, instigator of significant community services across many fields, and a life time supporter of education and scholarship.The inaugural lecture took place at NSW Parliament House in August 2016. Botany Bay City Council and now the new Bayside City Council agreed to host and co-fund the lecture as an ongoing annual event, in conjunction with UNSW. Development of the lecture series has involved UNSW staff, Botany Bay community members, Bayside Council staff and councilors, Botany Historical Trust, NSW government MPs, and Nancy's family.Nancy's many contributions to the development of services, to championing the interests of residents, and to protection of the environment in the Botany Bay region, are very well known. Her legacy is aptly summarized in the title of her SMH obituary as the “Relentless rebel with many causes”. Moving to Botany at 17, and faced with the inexorable development of the suburb in which she found herself, Nancy became embroiled in what became her life's work – fighting for justice for local residents, the community and the environment. From extensions to the port of Botany through to industrial contamination, there was much to confront. A natural organizer, Nancy always led from the front, which did not go unrecognized. Named 1985 Botany Council citizen of the year, she worked tirelessly in her community, often challenging industry and governments at the highest levels. She received a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2006. Nancy was also tireless in assisting academics and students, many from UNSW, in their research and teaching projects. She also co-authored academic analysis, and wrote many reports, submissions, letters and other public documents. Her own extensive archive is held by Bayside's local Library.This lecture series acknowledges Nancy's heritage, recalling her work and passion while providing an avenue for others to debate issues that resonate with Nancy's work. Over the years, the annual event will help forge scholarly and broader community relationships and commitments.The general theme of the lecture series is community participation in the achievement of social and environmental objectives. Each year, at least one presentation will be given by a young emerging community leader. This recognizes the important perspective of a younger generation, and reminds us that the necessity to ‘pass the baton' to emerging leaders and activists was amongst Nancy's greatest passions. With thanks to all the contributors above, and to others who assisted to initiate and organise this event: Bayside City Council: staff and councilorsFaculty of Arts and Social Sciences UNSW: Events and Media team.Parliament House staff, and the office of MLC Cate Faehrmann PresentersJean Hinchliffe is a 15-year-old school student and climate activist. As the Sydney group founder and lead national organiser within School Strike 4 Climate, she campaigns for legislative action to end the climate crisis. She first initiated her activist journey at the age of thirteen through volunteering with the Vote Yes campaign for marriage equality, before becoming involved with GetUp and Stop Adani. However, it was only in late 2018 that she started to focus on the climate crisis above other issues. When she isn't trying to save the world, Jean works as a professional actress.

With thanks to all the contributors above, and to others who assisted to initiate and organise this event: Bayside City Council: staff and councilors Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences UNSW: Events and Media team. Parliament House staff, and the office of MLC Cate Faehrmann Presenters Jean Hinchliffe is a 15-year-old school student and climate activist. As the Sydney group founder and lead national organiser within School Strike 4 Climate, she campaigns for legislative action to end the climate crisis. She first initiated her activist journey at the age of thirteen through volunteering with the Vote Yes campaign for marriage equality, before becoming involved with GetUp and Stop Adani. However, it was only in late 2018 that she started to focus on the climate crisis above other issues. When she isn't trying to save the world, Jean works as a professional actress. Varsha Yajman is a year 12 student at Gosford High on the Central Coast. She grew up in Sydney for the most part, and says going to school on the Coast has given her exposure to diverse perspectives on societal issues such as female rights, health, and environmental issues. Her greatest passion, climate activism, led to her involvement with the National Leadership Team for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and the National and the core Sydney team for School Strike 4 Climate. She says this is more than just fighting for a sustainable world but rather about being part of a collective movement with capacity to empower every individual to unite and fight for a greater cause. Varsha's interests also include the mental health sector and she will contribute more time to this after finishing high school. Elly Baxter is a communications specialist with more than ten years experience running media and marketing campaigns in the arts. As a teenager she was involved in local environmental activism and has recently become active again as part of Extinction Rebellion Sydney. Tema Milstein is an associate professor of Environment & Society at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and convenor of UNSW's Master of Environmental Management program. Her research and teaching focus on the intersections of culture, discourse, and ecological relations. Tema's research spans the globe, examining ecological activism, ecotourism and endangered wildlife, ecoculture meaning systems and identity, and ecoculture jamming. Her newest work, the 40- author International Handbook of Ecocultural Identity, will be published early next year. A former US Fulbright Scholar, Tema has taught at universities in the United States, Australia, Italy, China, and New Zealand. She has worked as a newspaper and public radio journalist, and recently participated as an invited speaker at Extinction Rebellion rallies in Sydney. *Community Corner * The Commons Library - NVDA Liking the show?

The Ideas and Society Program, convened by Professor Robert Manne, is a forum for discussion about the future of Australia and beyond. In 2019 we are hosting a series of discussions regarding some of the most fundamental and polarising issues Australians now face, either between those with fundamentally different points of view or between those with similar points of view but different ideas about strategy and tactics. Our next event is taking place three days before one of the most challenging political events of 2019--the climate change school student strike. Climate change is regarded by many scientists, policymakers and citizens as the gravest problem humankind has ever faced. Unless fossil fuels are replaced by renewable sources of energy in the next decade or so, future generations will face a ruinous post-industrial revolution rise in global temperature of 3 degree Celsius or something even higher. Climate change is also an almost uniquely difficult problem. The Paris ambition to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees relies upon a level of international co-operation never before achieved. If humankind fails to take the action now required the consequences will be irreversible. It is no hyperbole to say that the future of the Earth lies in our hands. What happens in Australia matters greatly. If our domestic energy consumption and our exports of coal, oil and gas are taken into account, we are responsible for 5% of global carbon pollution. Climate Analytics has calculated that if all the fossil fuel developments now proposed were to proceed, Australia would be responsible for a staggering 13% of worldwide carbon emissions. For those fighting for the radical changes required, climate change poses a daunting political challenge. According to the conventional interpretation, in the recent federal election those Queensland Coalition candidates cheering on the Adani coal mine polled unusually well. In the short term at least, the anti-Adani protest march failed to sway local public opinion. Climate change is a generational problem. Older Australians took up the struggle. The lives of younger Australians will be shaped by the impact of climate change. The Ideas and Society Program has brought together, for this reason, front line fighters across the generations to reflect on recent experience and debate future strategy. The former leader of the Greens, Bob Brown, is the revered father of the Australian environmental movement. David Ritter is the leader in Australia and the Pacific of the pioneering world-wide environmental movement, Greenpeace. Dr Amanda Cahill, a Queensland grassroots analyst and activist, is the founder and chief executive of The Next Economy. Maiysha Moin is a leader in Victoria of one of the most hopeful recent climate change developments, the school strike movement that is taking action on September 20. This debate will be introduced by La Trobe University's Vice President (Strategy and Development), Natalie MacDonald, and moderated by La Trobe University's Director of the Centre for the Study of the Inland, Professor Katie Holmes.

As Australian politics continues its scramble to open up vast new coal mines and drive the world towards a climate change catastrophe, the Adani mine in the Carmichael basin of Queensland has begun clearing land for its mine, endangered species and all. We talk to some of the players who are at the cutting edge of climate activism about how we can stop the juggernaut and institute a better, saner way of living. Extinction Rebellion asserts the people of the worlds right to exist into the future, and not be made extinct by corporate greed. Stop Adani is a nationwide coalition of local groups, dedicated to stopping the opening up of the Carmichael Basin, the coal from which will topple the world into climate chaos if burned. Frontline Action on Coal (FLAC) are actively blockading the Adani mine, and have put out a RED ALERT for people to make their way up to Queensland to physically stop the mines construction.

The Bob Brown Foundation launhced a convoy which went from Hobart up to the depths of coal mining country in outback Queensland, holding rallies along the way. They returned to Canberra for a big rally at Parliament House which drew about 5000 people. Behind the Lines caught up with a few of the folks who had been on the convoy just after the Canberra rally, to have a yarn about how it had gone.

Passionate speakers share their thoughts on The "Stop Adani convoy" with Bob Browne leading the charge all the way from Hobart! Coming into our region to voice their opinion on the Carmichael coal mine, and the locals aren’t happy. Why was it on? Why were we there? 80% of the crowd put up their hands when asked if it was their first rally too? It was time to stand up for our region. The convoy drove past dirty brown coal mines and power stations in Vic and NSW to protest against the cleanest coal in the world! After my free sausage MM interviewed Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson, Federal member for Dawson George Christensen and the MC for the event, RIN Director and rally virgin himself Mick Crowe. They all spoke of their pride in how many peeps came out to show support for our industry. In the distance I could see red flags blowing as the stop Adani Convoy prepared to leave.

The March 15th School Strike for Climate was a global event. Quite possibly the largest-ever coordinated strikes, not just by school students, but by anyone in history, the #ss4c movement has become a force. Listen to how the day unfolded at Melbourne's strike and march, the mood before the event, the speeches and highlights, some interviews while marching through the city. Mark then talks to key speaker from the strike, Fatima Kidwai, one month on about the impact of the strike, the fallout, and what comes next. This is very much a lead-in to the climate election, as the students have more than played their part in speaking out, and putting climate change and the climate crisis on the radar. Now, it's time for the voters to play their part in changing the government to one willing to take the required action. So, if you need to fire up your friends and family about the climate election, this episode is for you!

Doctor Richard di Natale is many things, beyond being a general practitioner and public health specialist. He's an Australian Senator in the Federal Government, and leader of the Australian Greens Party, a powerful third party. The Greens are a fascinating party with an amazing story, and this episode could easily have dived solely into politics, as Richard of course has a ringside perspective. But, instead of doing that, this is a conversation with a powerful politician about being a person, who, in the face of climate change, is just as fragile and small as everyone else. We talk about how Richard keeps motivated, what he's doing in his life to be sustainable and have a lighter footprint, and how he feels about the future. But it's also extremely hopeful, and Richard's perspective is a welcome dose of optimism, and practical pragmatism. He lays out a way forward. We greatly appreciated his time, and generousity, and we're so happy to be bringing this to you.

The School Strike for Climate is one of the most energizing, and effective, things happening in the climate movement. From Greta Thunberg striking from school, one student standing up and doing what seemed obvious, what seemed called for, has spiralled and grown into a worldwide movement, that has hit home, taken root, and sprouted in an unbelievable way here in Australia. Here at Climactic we are so inspired by the SS4C movement, and the amazing young people involved. We do not seek to speak for them, or lead them, but are very glad to give them our platform, and be led by them. In this special you'll hear many voices, from the community at large, the leader of the Australian Greens party, and most importantly, of the school strikers themselves. Thanks to all those involved, all those who lent us your voices to tell this story, and set the scene for the 15th of March, 2019. The day of the global school strikes for climate. Hopefully, the day the world changes. You'll find a lot to love in this episode, and we hope you enjoy it.

The School Strike 4 Climate is an international movement run by school students. Today we have Maeve and Indy, who are part of the Canberra contingent, to have a yarn about what is going on, and why. Inspired by the bold, lone strike action of Greta Thunberg on the steps of parliament in Sweden, the idea has spread to all continents. Find the strike map here: https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/events/map Many groups are going out every Friday, with periodic global events, such as the one on March 15th, 2019 discussed here. Australia is still bent on developing massive fossil fuel sources, which should definitely be left in the ground, such as the Adani mine opening up the way for many coal projects planned for the Galilee Basin https://www.stopadani.com/ and the new front rapidly opening in the Canning Basin in the Kimberly, Western Australia. https://www.environskimberley.org.au/fracking http://www.frackfreekimberley.org.au/ Hopefully our intrepid leaders will take this strong hint from our kids, and prioritse our actual means for life over our imaginary need for incessant growth of money. Music for today is from the Earth Guardians, a group of kids who have been on this path for over a decade now, and Xiuhtezcatl, who is also heavily involved with Earth Guardians.

It was around this time a year ago that the idea for Climactic was born. So it's very appropriate to take this opportunity to announce some new changes, and improvements. Climactic is no longer just a podcast. Climactic is now a podcasting collective. With four podcasters spread around the country making the show, with the help of an editor, a producer, and a marketing intern, we're now more capable, and dynamic, than ever. Groups are beginning to use Climactic as a platform for telling their own stories. Experiments are being cooked up, new series planned. This is an exciting time for the collective. So join us as we begin this new chapter, and spread the word, because Climactic is best enjoyed with friends.

And on today’s episode do you want to learn more about the grass-roots campaign #stopadani
Sadiya and Sarah are part of Stop Adani. It is an environmental movement working to block the development of the Adani Carmichael coal mine in the north of the Galilee Basin, Central Queensland, Australia. Last episode, Sarah told a story for Sadiya to reflect on. In this episode, Sadiya tells us a story, about a Bangladeshi farmer who lost livelihood and home to river erosion. Sarah pulls out the themes of loss and displacement in this story. For Sarah, this is a human story of the suffering already experienced by extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and global warming. Climate change is not just an issue of environmental justice, it is an issue of social justice. Sarah reflects on the increase in child marriage associated with climate change, as families are forced to make horrendous decisions to keep their children alive. “We know that burning coal, no matter where it’s burnt, is going to keep fuelling global warming and climate change and Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries, although no matter where you live in the world, we’re all going to be effected by it.”
Sarah Ellyard’s childhood, spent camping and bushwalking with her wilderness conservation father, explains her connection to the environment, and her ability to understand its importance to our health, physical and mental. She finds it hard to understand why Western society places such a low value on nature, and why we find it hard to take action on climate change. Sarah is part of Stop Adani Sydney, a movement that is trying to block the development of the Adani Carmichael coal mine, in the north of the Galilee Basin in Central Queensland, Australia. Sadiya Binte Karim is a Bangladeshi woman. Also part of Stop Adani Sydney, Sadiya reflects, for us, on Sarah’s story. She links it to climate justice, both in Australia, and in countries like Bangladesh and India, which are already suffering the consequences of climate change.
In June 2018 a federal court found that Adani has been negotiating with the wrong traditional owner group and that the Juru people not The Kyburra Munda Yalga Aboriginal Corporation are the correct group that Adani should be negotiating with about cultural heritage at Abbott point where the company has its coal loading port. Regardless of this Adani has not allowed the Juru Traditional owners to see the cultural heritage protection work that Kyburra did, nor will Adani grant the Juru access to their rock art, burial grounds, fish traps, ochre grounds and sacred sites to see if they are in fact protected.Court documents show the Kyburra Munda Yalga Aboriginal Corporation hid payments by Adani and payed its own directors up to $1,000 a day cash for cultural heritage assessments that are now invalidated.Now the Juru have made a legal request for an order that will make Adani stop work.We hear from Juru Elder Aunty Carol about her disappointing experiences attempting to negotiate with Adani and investigative journalist Ben Smee as he gives the recent background to several Guardian articles he wrote about Adani and its indigenous land use agreementsHear also direct from the frontline at the gates of the Abbott point terminal in QLD, near Bowen, where dozens of activists pledged to campain to Stop Adani, where Aunty Carol tried to deliver the pledges to Adani but was turned away, where a year later a hundred people sat blocking the road and near where Juliet and Cassie locked onto a rail line to stop the coal trains.Click here to see: Map of indigenous nations Arial photo of Abbott point coal export facility and Calley Valley wetlandsOrganisations: Stop Adani Frontline Action on CoalBeyond Coal and Gas Jamboree Juru Enterprises See these articles in The Guardian-Australia: “Adani says it could start works at abbot point without traditional owners input” “Adani coal port faces possible stop order after traditional owners object”“Indigenous group hid more than 2m in payments from Adani mining giant.”

The campaign against the Adani coal mine proposed for Queensland in the Galilee basin has been described as the biggest environmental battle in Australia since the Franklin Dam blockade. On Saturday October 7th the protest is being taken national. All over Australia the #StopAdani campaign is holding a day of special events and rallies.Blair Palese who heads up 350.org in Aust expains the national day of action and what's happening around the country. And Indian environmental advocate Ruchira Talukdar talks about Adani's environmental abuse in India, and some of the emerging connections between anti-coal activism in India and Australia.
The Adani company wants to open the biggest coal mine ever built in Australia, in the Gallilee Basin in Queensland, and send the coal overseas to be burnt for electricity. When the Stop Adani camp set up recently and actions ramped up, we caught it for you. Here is Paul Jukes, from the camp. In a time where climate change is upon us, the corporation wants to dig up and burn a stupendous amount of coal - well and truly taking us over the edge and into full-on climate change. The Australian Government is very keen for the mine to go ahead, it has granted many of the necessary approvals, wants to give a $Billion loan to Adani to build a railway line, and is promising free, unlimited water for the mine to pollute. If you thought the Standing Rock protests against the Keystone XL pipeline in the USA were a good idea, then you should be preparing for our own Australian version, coming soon in Queensland.

In March this year, Victoria became the first state in Australia to declare a permanent ban on fracking and on shore gas extraction. This ban was the result of a huge mobilization of communities right across the state, especially communities in regional and rural areas.To celebrate this long and hard fought win, Friends of the Earth held a special fundraiser celebration in Melbourne with a special screening of a "The Bentley Effect", a documentary film about another hard fought win, where a comunity in northern NSW took a stand to protect its precious resources and livelihood to fight against the money and the power of politicians and the fossil fuel industry. Kudra Ricketts was on Bentley blockade for many months and she speaks about her engagement and experience as front line environmental activist.In its just released climate change policy, the Westpac bank declared it was not would not invest in new coal mines. This means that the bank will no longer consider putting money into the Adani coal mine in the Galilee Basin. Another win for the environment. But the fight to Stop Adani is far from over. Rob Foster from 350.org explains why.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you would probably of heard about the proposed Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee Basin of Queensland.The case against Adani's coal mine is compelling. The mine will draw billions of litres of water from the Great Artesian Basin, the burning of the coal will produce billions of tonnes of pollution, dashing the hope of staying under the already alarming target of 2 degrees of warming. And the mine is strongly opposed by the Wangan-Jagalingou traditional owners.But this hasn't stopped the Queensland and Federal governments from giving subsidies, fast-tracking approval, and even attempting to change native title legislation, all to try and secure the project.On the show today we'll hear from Millie Telford, co-director of Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, and Vaishali Patil, grassroots activist fighting Adani in India.Guests: Millie Telford (Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network); Vaishali Patil (grassroots activist fighting Adani in India)Thankyou to the Stop Adani Roadshow and 350.org Australia for the audio in this episode.Earth Matters #1082 was produced by Teishan Ahearne.Links:StopAdani.comWangan & Jagalingou Family Council

Rayes says the land should all be retained for public use, with expanded (but appropriately scaled) public housing built on the site. Listen here.Activist calendar Jacob and Zane interview Mary Merkenich from the Teachers and ES Alliance (TESA). The teachers union (AEU) leadership is avoiding taking industrial action to help secure a better deal for teachers in Victoria. Teachers in the public system have to deal with unweildy class sizes and work many hours of unpaid overtime so it is especially problematic that the union leadership is acting as a brake on members who are prepared and willing to strike.TESA is campaigning for members to vote against the EBAuntil it is improved, which would necessitate taking industrial action.Listen here.
