On today’s Radioactive Show we turn our focus to QLD where we speak with Miree LeRoy about some recent activities in the campaign to stop Adani’s Carmichael mine. Currently under construction on Wangan and Jagalingou country in the Galilee Basin, the mine will become Austalia’s largest coal mine if allowed to continue. We discuss various ways to get involved with the campaign: Divestment information can be found at Market Forces, Stop Adani is a central coordinating point for the many groups taking action, Frontline Action on Coal have been stopping work on Adani's railway corridorduring the last week also. The Wangan and Jagalingou are not being listened to, stand in solidarity with the Traditional Custodians and please join us at the Online Rally: Respect Wangan & Jagalingou Human Rights, 6.30pm Monday 30th August.
We also hear from Annette Brownlie chairperson of the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network speaking with Jacob Andrewartha (Green Left Weekly Radio) about the Talisman Sabre joint military exercises that saw 17,000 soldiers conduct war manoeuvres in the Great Barrier Reef reserve from July 18-31 and the consequences for the environment, public health and relationships in the Pacific region.
