Dr Benjamin Cooke, a senior lecturer at RMIT's Centre for Urban Research, joins us to discuss the Albanese government's commitment to protect 30% of Australia's land and waters by 2030, what this actually means, and why it needs to go further. The government's commitment to this target was re-affirmed by Minister for the Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek alongside last month's launch of the 5-yearly State of the Environment Report. Ben and several colleagues recently co-authored an article in the Conversation breaking down the 30 by 30 target - you can read it here.//

8:​15 - ​Youth Homelessness After Leaving Care//

In recognition of homelessness week this week, we will be speaking to Reggie Chang. Youth homelessness remains an urgent issue in Victoria. With poor access to housing and rising rent prices, young people leaving out-of-home are particularly vulnerable. Reggie joins us today to share their experience of homelessness after leaving care, as well as their role with The Centre for Excellence and Child and Family Welfare.​//​
