Green Left's Suzanne James interviews WA Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John about changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) following the passing of the NDIS Amendment Bill in August.

Steele-John outlines the deal Labor did to get the legislation passed, how the final version of the debt collection function will work, the shifting intent of the NDIS under the changes, and how the disability community can connect and support each other.

The car industry distorted transport system is destroying the climate, according to veteran public and active transport campaigner Andrew Chuter.

The latest statistics for Australia show that almost all the gains made from switching 40% of electricity generation to renewable energy have been cancelled out by rising greenhouse gas emissions mainly from transport.

Simply shifting to electric cars is not the solution, he argues. In a deep dive into the challenges we face breaking from decades of systematic 'colonising of our minds' by the big car manufacturers.

Chuter speaks with Green Left's Peter Boyle about what measures society urgently needs to take to reverse this situation.
