Federal Politics With Chris Wallace; The Environmental Defenders Risking Their Lives On The Island Of Palawan; The Victorian Government's Environmental Report Card

1 hour 56 minutes

Professor Chris Wallace from the Faculty of Business, Government, and Law at the University of Canberra, talks about the latest in federal politics, including the Robodebt Royal Commission, Labor's IR Bill, the October budget, and much more. Journalist and filmmaker Karl Malakunas speaks in-depth about the volunteer environmental defenders risking their lives on the island of Palawan (Philippines) to save some of the most biodiverse forests and oceans in the world from illegal logging and fishing. The story of the Palawan NGO Network Inc's (PNNI) brave members and supporters is featured in Karl's award-winning enviro-thriller documentary, Delikado. Karl is also Asia-Pacific Deputy Editor-In-Chief for Agence France-Presse. Jordan Crook, Nature Conservation Campaigner at the Victorian National Parks Association, evaluates the Victorian Government's record on some key environmental policy areas and issues ahead of the election and updates us on the latest campaigning wins for native forests. *Note: This is by no means a comprehensive look at all environmental policies of all parties at the state election. It looks at the record of the state government in areas that involve biodiversity, threatened species and habitat, and conservation. It does not include climate change.
