Sail4Sanity, Reserve Bank Insanity & the Voice of Reason

Monday Nov 13, 2023

Monday Nov 13, 2023

On this weeks show:

  1. Sail4Sanity - Two Illawarra grandfathers are sailing and paddling a kayak between two of Australia’s key coal ports, Port Kembla and Newcastle, to draw attention to the need to halt the burning of fossil fuels, while hopefully demonstrating that a great deal of fun can be had in water craft that don’t burn up the planet. Calling for more immediate and effective action by our government to reduce fossil fuel mining and effectively address climate change. They hope to connect with politicians and climate action groups at events along the way and to encourage people to get involved in the Rising Tide Protest. Tom Hunt spoke to Environmental as Anything on his epic voyage.
    - https://sail4sanity.au/
  2. Prof Bill Mitchell is one of Australia's most emminent economists. Last week the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised interest rates for the 13th time. He spoke to Sean O'Shannessy and said the RBA's broken policies are transferring income and wealth from poor to rich at rates not seen before in this country. The inflationary episode is  a supply-side phenomenon and the major drivers will not fall as a result of interest rate increases, in fact they are actually causing inflation.The RBA is systematically wiping out wealth at the bottom end and transferring to the top end.  - RBA monetary policy decision represents a terminally broken policy model in Australia
  3. Violet Coco - The Coco Report - Across Australia people are rising up against the madness of ecological destruction and for a safer more just society. The front lines of that struggle are held by courageous humans like Violet Coco. She joins us again to keep us all up to date on the events we can all become part of to strengthen our case for a viable future for us all.

Flames Rise Around Us with Democracy Facing Trial and Denial

Thursday Nov 09, 2023

Thursday Nov 09, 2023

Our fire seasons keep getting hotter and longer. The world has been burning all year, North America is ablaze, and Queensland has suffered tragic losses to the out of control fires burning there. Here in NSW we are yet to see the worst of it but our courageous fireies are breathing a sigh of relief as rains fall to dampen the dozens of fires threatening a Black Spring. Daniel Ainsworth from the Northern Rivers Regional Fire Service (RFS) joins Environmental as Anything to report on the progress of their ceaseless vigil over our fire safety.

Meanwhile across Australia the legitimacy of democracy is under threat as citizens are charged with speaking the truth while the climate criminals walk away scott free. We have reports from canberra and Grafton where The APPEA5 and Ellis Forest Protectors faced court for peacefully resisting extinction.

Denialists continue to badger the adults in the room with their ignorance. Every now and then they actually get a chance to have their delusions comprehensively put to bed by a truly emmminent scientist. This week in the NSW Parlliamentary Inquiry into the ALP's Zero Futures Bill which proposes to weaken our climate targets, MP for the LDP John Ruddick, dusted off his Phd in Non Seqiturs from Dunning Kurger University and challenged former cheif scientist of Australia Prof Penny Sackett to explain why he didn't understand the climate emergency. She knocked his mischevious questions out of the park with grace and dignity. We have an illuminating extract from that exchange and more from the bipartisan committee looking into that legislation.

Aussie Freedom to Protest Under Attack in Tassie, Canberra and Brisbane

Sunday Oct 15, 2023

Sunday Oct 15, 2023

Aussie's freedom of speech, assembly and association are under a nationwide concerted attack.

Dr. Colette Harmsen, released on Friday 13/10/23 from her three months sentence in Tasmania and prison for having stood up for the protection of our precious native forests spoke to Sean O'Shannessy on the day of her release about her reasons for taking the actions that got her locked up, her experience of prison and her intentions for future actions for our environment. 

In this episode of Environmental as Anything we also speak to a couple of other people who are facing down the threat of some fairly stiff penalties for their courageous and peaceful actions to try to highlight the climate emergency and to persuade governments, in both in Brisbane and in the ACT to do something effective about it.

John Wurker from Extinction Rebellion ACT brings us his story as one of the 'APPEA 5', who stood up against the fossil fuel industry headquarters there in Canberra, blocking several of their entrances for a couple of hours and are now charged with "unreasonable obstruction"

Sasha Seindl from XR Brisbane, who was part of the 'Parliament 14', the group of citizens who spent three minutes in the gallery of the Queensland Parliament calling for an end to new coal gas and oil exploration and and development and are now facing the possibility of three years in prison for being charged with "Disturbing the Legislature".

We also have Lismore as leading legal expert on the defense of the protectors of our climate and forests. Eddie Lloyd criminal lawyer who has been defending environment protectors through the courts and has got a unique perspective on the legal issues not only here but around the country and she joins us to wrap up the show with an analysis of the bigger picture.
