CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOWMAY 19TH 2025Produced by Vivien Langfordwith  guest producer Bella Jesson NATIVE TITLE TRIBUNAL GREEN LIGHTs  SANTOS GAS WELLS IN GOMEROI COUNTRY At the time this show was broadcast we did not know the decision which will be devastating for all those who continue to stand up to prtect the Pilliga, to protect the Great Artesian Basin and to prevent gas,whether it is burned here or exported,from aggravating climate chaos. This podcast contains the voices of Gomeroi people and their allies who cames down from Narrabri and elsewhere to bring a sacred flame to NSW Parliament. You will hear MC Raymond Bubble Weatherill, MP Jackie Scrubie, Assistant Secretary of Unions NSW Vanessa Seagrave, Assistant Secretary of Nurses and Midwives Association Michael Whaites, A Gomeroi speaker from Teachers Federation. MP Jeremy Buckingham and Gomeroi Woman Kara Kinchella from Lock the Gates Alliance.            *****************************************************Part 2 is an interview with Simon Kerr by Bella Jesson.They are talking about the No Music on a Dead Planet campaign  https://nomusic.au/#signup We're building community & solidarity as part of a global movement committed to collective actionWhether you are a musician or a music fan, join the movement now by signing up. When you sign up, you can: Stay up-to-date with the latest news on music + climate in Australia Be part of collective action as we continue to advocate for a greener futureBecome part of our volunteer team at events across the country           *************************************************************Background for the Native Title Tribunal Decision  quoted from:Native Title Tribunal approves Santos gas field on Gomeroi Country despite objectionsDechlan Brennan - May 20, 2025"A decision by the National Native Title Tribunal to allow the New South Wales government to lease land to Santos for gas extraction has been criticised by Gomeroi Traditional Owners.The Tribunal was asked to decide whether several petroleum production leases to Santos NSW Pty and Santos NSW (Narrabri Gas) Pty Ltd, which largely overlaps with the Pilliga - a significant Gomeroi cultural area - should be allowed to go forward.In the decision handed down on Monday, the Tribunal said the "project offers a net public benefit" when weighing the public interest evidence with the concerns of the Gomeroi people."When considering public interest, the panel placed significant weight on the project providing energy reliability if all the gas produced is made available to the domestic market as intended," the Tribunal said in its findings."The evidence in this matter has shown that if the leases are not granted, there will likely be a gap in the available supply of reliable, secure energy on Australia's east coast, which would have significant short-to-medium-term detrimental impacts upon the wider community, including Gomeroi people."In response, Gomeroi Traditional Owners said they were "disgusted" with the determination, arguing the Tribunal had "disregarded" their voices.Polly Cutmore, a Traditional Owner from Moree who was elected to deal with Santos on behalf of her Nation, said despite the result, "our mob should never be afraid to stand up for Country".Ms Cutmore said the community should never be afraid to do the right thing for future generations."

On the night of July 24, Puerto Ricans who had been protesting for hours in San Juan began to chant a victorious “Olé Olé Olé” as they celebrated governor Ricardo Rosselló’s resignation. The protests came after the revelation of homophobic, sexist, anti-worker, and other bigoted comments revealed by an in-depth journalistic investigation into the Puerto Rican government. But just as pressing for the Puerto Rican people were the revelations of blatant corruption. These revelations were, in some ways, the straw that broke the camel’s back in Puerto Rico. Decades of neoliberal reforms and privatization schemes have devastated the island, but have also sown the seeds for the revival of a people’s anti-colonial movement.In this episode, we talk with Norma Perez, a teacher formerly with the Federacion de Maestros de Puerto Rico, or Teachers’ Federation of Puerto Rico. Perez now works with Call to Action on Puerto Rico in New York City as part of the Puerto Rican diaspora organizing for independence from U.S. colonialism. Over the next hour, we discuss the broader economic and political situation in Puerto Rico, especially the social and cultural changes that have rocked the island in the decades leading up to Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico’s disaster capitalism.

September 30thSYDNEY CLIMATE STRIKE Produced by Vivien Langford in Sydney. Thanks to Michaela and Andy in MelbourneSpeakers:Gadrian Hoosen – Garawa and Yanyuwa man from Boroloola, Pacific Warriors, Jean Hinchcliff, Tommy John Herbert MUA, President of Teachers’ Federation, ASU,PSA, ETU, CFMMEU, APHEDA, Parents and Grandparents and a Concerned Scientist .Music: Ready by Montaigne and New Orleans by David RovicsIt felt like an historic turning point. Not just the 100,000+ in the Domain but the new energy in the climate movement. One of the marshalls was Jenny, a climate activist I knew from 12 years ago. She reminded me of the street theatre we used to do down at Circular Quay, dramatising the climate emergency. I’d borrow a polar bear suit from a Greenpeace Giant and was glad of the disguise as I didn’t want to be recognised from my workplace. I had piles of fur around my ankles but Japanese Tourists would put their arms around me and want a cute photo. Most people didn’t understand at all that we were doing a “Die In” Climate Change was not mainstream. Now, Jenny said, she went to organising meetings and”it’s all new people”.The kaleidoscope has turned and a new coalition of students and workers, parents and professionals, has unified around the disbelief that we are still making profits out of an economy that is creating catastrophe.The media reported this as a children’s event and missed the fact that unions and churches were there in great numbers. The students have been making allies with unionists and have been on a steep learning curve about the  dire realities of striking for most workers in Australia. As I wove through the crowd I learned that many workers are affected by climate change already. You will hear from a ship builder working inside the metal hulk on a heatwave day, of the firemen and forest workers confronted by uncontrollable fires in areas where they are running out of water. Factory workers processing milk are losing jobs because of the drought. Electricians working on solar farm installations are horrified at unskilled casuals working for $10 an hour and no regulation of the work.  There were hundreds of stories there to be told As we walked past the parliament I imagined a cynical sign in the sky “....Tell someone who cares!” because this new climate awareness of workers and young people does not seem to be registering among our leaders. You can send this podcast to any of them in case they are trying NOT to hear the message from the streets. https://www.3cr.org.au/beyondzero POWER OF COUNTRY TOUR  at Sydney Town HallMusic by Stuart Nuggett in Jingili Language –Bundurru (food)Speakers:Millie Telford – Seed Mob, Indigenous youth climate movementStuart Nuggett – Jingili Musician from Beetaloo BasinNicole Hutton – Garrawa woman from BoroloolaNaomi Hogan – Lock The Gate Alliance/Stop Origin Fracking the NTJulie Lyford – Groundswell Gloucester.

We were there to hear traditional owners and NT Community members help us understand the risks to precious waterways, to local health and to all of us if that gas is ever allowed to hasten climate catastrophe.Millie Telford, a vivacious young leader, animated the conversation on stage with musician Stuart Nuggett and Nicole Hutton. She said “We can’t do it alone. It’s time to take this fight all around the country”City people were urged to stand with our fellow citizens in remote parts of the NT. They cannot rally 100,000 climate activists, as we can in the cities, but we can support them by sending a message to Origin Energy and the NT government who lifted their moratorium on fracking for gas.It's not too late to bring it down again.Julie Lyford encouraged the NT people from her experience in Gloucester, they fought off AGL gas and the Rocky Hill Coal Mine and call themselves  the mouse that roared.She said “Do not be scared at AGMs Tell them how it is.
