Today's show is a tribute to the Moorooka Social Space aka Fleurs St Social Exchange - an amazing by-donation cafe and op shop that council has recently told to shut down. The volunteers there want to keep it going but it will require a bit of people power!

To sign the petition to keep it alive, go to https://www.change.org/p/prevent-the-closure-of-fleur-street-social-exchange-at-the-moorooka-social-space

Today we talk about microplastics and PFAS (aka "forever chemicals"). I speak to environmental scientists Karen Raubenheimer and Ian Wright about these tiny particles, what they do to our health and environment, and whether this is really the physical legacy we want our society to leave for the generations to come.

Today we speak to Kurdish journalist and analyst Kamal Chomani. There have been some significant developments in the situation of Kurdish liberation politics in both Turkey and Syria - including the PKK guerilla army voluntarily dissolving and the autonomous Rojava administration joining the new Syrian government. We hear from Kamal what these developments might mean for Kurdish people and the journey to peace and democracy.

Today we are talking about what the election means for the climate movement in this country. I speak to academic Wesley Morgan about Labor's climate policy, and with climate movement practitioners Shaun Murray (from Rising Tide), Monique Tovo (Tomorrow Movement) and Ellen Roberts (Lock The Gate).

Today's show is all about the Kurilpa Anarchist Bookfair (which by the time you hear this podcast has unfortunately already happened). We speak to one of the organisers Tom Morrison; to Oliver Graham from the Anarchist Communist Federation about unionism and anarchism; and to Elina Sleiman about a women's anarchist history of Brisbane.
