This week we’re looking at the fight to save Victoria’s native forests, and what the government and their logging agency are getting away with under cover of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Then later in the show, we pay respects to the late Jack Mundey and look for hope in the history of the Green Bans movement.  

Guest: Chris Schuringa (GECO); Dave Kerin (Earth Worker); Jack Mundey (archival audio).
