Wild Places at the ALP Fringe in Adelaide

Monday 11th February  2019

 

Tim Winton, the author  takes us swimming with giant whales. There is a moment when he comes up against a colossal eye and realises it is not going to harm him as it lifts its flipper, huge as an aeroplane wing, to let him pass. He was telling the ALP Fringe the things we have to be proud of in the protection of whale nurseries and why it is time to reform our environmental laws.

Peter Owen is from the Wilderness Society in Adelaide . He speaks to Vivien about thew Great Australian Buight whale nursery. "This is no time to be expanding the oil industry " . Even though BP and Chevron have pulled out Norwegian company Equinor is still trying. The Mayor of Kangaroo Island took the wishes of half a million citizens to their AGM in Norway. Peter urges the ALP to commit to shutting down the Fossil Fuel Industry.

Jenny Webber spoke to Vivien beside the Torrens River. Tarkine was on her mind and she tells us about the walks , fun runs and Yantra walks the Bob Brown Foundation is organising to lure us down to Tasmania so we can witness for ourselves the majesty and  ancient wildness of the area. Yes these are carbon sinks of inestimable importance but they are so much more.

The Human Face of Climate Change

As unprecedented fires sent thousand into emergency shelters in QLD, leaders in medicine,

meditation, many faiths and government met in Parliament house to explore the human

face if climate change.

The day before student leaders , their parents and teachers were locked out.

Phillip president of the Multi Faith Association SA had gathered us to talk about  having the courage to face what we have to do as time is running out for drawdown at scale.

Councillor Jo Dodds from Bega Valley Shire in NSW speaks about the Tathra fires , how they were fuelled by our exports of coal and gas and how they had changed lives forever.

Matthew Knight organised the  visitors including friendly MPs into a human sign saying NOW.

Feb 19th 2019 you can join them at Tathra as they take leadership in a bid to go 100% renewable energy by 2020. Regional areas need your help.

We heard about how delicate a child's lungs are from Doctors for the Environment.

Transitioning from coal fired power and petrol fuelled cars and planes is vital.

Then Sikh, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and Muslim leaders helped us to connect with our deeper values.

A simpler life and a change of consciousness will stop us going over  the cliff.

Mapuche Murders

The Chilean community of Sydney mourns the murder by police  of a young indigenous man.

The corporate plantations taking over in southern Chile are making a desert out of  farmlands and the local ecology. Water has to be brought in and the resistance of these environmental defenders is being repressed.

On Human Rights day you can take action through Amnesty International to bring to justice

those who shot Camillo Catrillanca.

Climate Change is intensifying contests over land and water and people on the front line are facing a frontier mentality. Let us defend them.
