"So, we're in discussions with the government now around how we can lay out an arrangement that will enable us to invest, and there's billions of dollars to be invested if you want to set a refinery up for the long term, and so that's part of the discussion we're having with them at the moment."~ Matt Halliday, CEO, AmpolTranslation to Aus-reality language: The Australian Labor government is now looking at billions of dollars to be invested in more climate wreckage, disasters, flooding, fires, hurricanes and havoc - in particular for the coming generations. Honestly, how does that stack up, Mr Albenese? And to Alan Kohler, who is generally doing a great job with integrity: how come you are not questioning any of this madness directly to Matt Halliday?ABC News ... See MoreSee Less

How we're getting fleeced by the gas industry David Pocock with Marian Wilkinson & Royce KurmelovsWhy is Australia facing a domestic energy crisis while exporting record amounts of gas? In this episode, Senator David Pocock is joined by investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson and author Royce Kurmelovs to expose how the fossil fuel industry has effectively captured Australian politics. The panel unpacks the industry's most effective tactics. From using former politicians and public servants to shape legislation, to exploiting global crises to protect their profits, as well as the role of geopolitics and how countries like Japan have pressured the Australian government not to tax gas exports. With the ongoing failure of the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) and major parties refusing to back a 25% gas export tax, this episode provides a stark look at the realities of state capture. The guests highlight the urgent need for grassroots pressure at the ballot box and new political voices to ensure Australians finally get a fair return on their finite natural resources.#GetOffGas #GasKills #TaxGas ...

His father was taken from his mother as a child. Mark himself grew up between hardship, loss, out-of-home care and convent life in Ballarat, where boredom and books became his unexpected doorway into education. Later, Uncle Banjo Clarke called him back into community work with a simple instruction: become a bridge between Western education and Indigenous education – and take no shortcuts.Throughout the conversation, Mark returns to one central idea: Aboriginal knowledge is not a museum piece. It is not simply dot paintings or boomerangs sold at markets. It is a living way of seeing, learning, relating and belonging. It asks us to step out of the industrial mindset, move beyond command-and-control systems, and enter a more relational way of education where teacher and learner exchange roles with respect.He also challenges Australia to grow up.Reconciliation, Mark says, should not be built on guilt. It should be built on national maturity – the ability to face what happened, name it honestly, learn from it, and then craft a better future together.. . .NAIDOC Week 2026 carries the theme ’50 Years of Deadly’. In that spirit, Mark’s final message to listeners is beautifully simple: be curious. Be courageous. Park your assumptions. Go to a new place.Because in a world rushing towards AI, climate disruption, conflict and exhaustion, perhaps one of the most radical things we can still do is this:Take off our shoes. Feel the earth beneath us. Be curious, and learn to listen.→ Find out more about NAIDOC on: www.naidoc.org.au. . .#TheSustainableHour #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC #50YearsOfDeadly #FirstNationsWisdom #MarkRose #IndigenousEducation #ClimateAction #Geelong #LearningToListen #Wadawurrung ...
