Eve Sinton - Fossil Fool Bulletin
Fossil Fool Bulletin is a resource for people working to end the fossil fuel era in Australia. It combines a fully referenced weekly news summary with original articles, presented as a PDF newsletter with live links. Fossil Fool Bulletin has been published weekly since November 2017 by journalist Eve Sinton of Focus Publications, who has 35 years of experience in journalism and publishing.
Ian Sutton - Murray Darling Basin United We Stand
"We the people of the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) have been disgusted in the way we have been betrayed, with the desecration, drainage and destruction of our ground water, river systems, wetlands and lakes. This has resulted in the devastation of our plants and animals, the expansion of desertification throughout the MDB, increased climate extremes and a rural economic collapse.
We have been protesting, rallying and lobbying successive government for over 30 years and in that time, we have been ignored. We feel that you no longer represent the people and instead are colluding with corporate interests to the detriment of our nation."
Peta Goodwin - Knitting Nanas for Native Forests (WA)
Native forest logging is not smart business. It is foolhardy, unsustainable and unnecessary. We need our wild forests for our children, for our grandchildren, for climate and for life. Nanas for Native Forest are determined to convince our leaders to stop this madness before it is too late.

Catherine Cusack, Mark Pearson, Justin Field and Cate Faehrmann all stood up and spoke against the koala killer bill in the NSW Legislative Council on the 19/11/2020 and their voices were heard. The bill was defeated, referred to committee and withdrawn by the government. A reprieve for our koalas and a big win for people power in NSW. Listen here to their speeches to parliament and Cate's sumation afterwards
Meanwhile people are outraged and taking action over our forests being thrown into the furnaces and called renewable energy at Condong Mill, our wildlife and cultural heritage being threatened with damming at Dunoon and Santos plans to release methane from under the PIliga forest and the Great Artesian Basin.
We have audio reports and interviews from all of them in this jam packed episode.

Chris Gulaptus and Geoff Provest voted for the LLS Bill rammed through the NSW lower house on the 14th of October. Their actions along with the rest of the #KoalaKiller faction of the Berejiklian government is causing outrage amongst all who understand what has been done. The bill won't be passed into law until it passes the upper house so there is still a chance that voters can persuade our representatives to do their jobs and vote it down.
- NCEC President Jim Morrison and Grafton local Tim Watson speak to the crowd of voters outside Chris Gulaptus' office in Grafton (audio courtesy of Jimmy Malecki)
- Meg Nielsen from Celebrating Earth and Art interviews Susie Russell from the North East Forest Alliance
- Julie Beasley form Eco Futures interviews President of Northern Rivers Guardians Scott Sledge.
