Today we take a deep dive into the ocean to see what fossil fuel companies are doing to our marine surroundings. I speak to Louise Morris from the Marine Conservation Society about the effects of seismic blasting tests, and to Rod Campbell from the Australia Institute about whether giving fossil fuel companies tracts of ocean to try to pump their carbon outputs into the ocean floor is really the kind of climate policies we should be pursuing.

This week's show is a catch up with climate activism around the country. I speak to Emil Davey from Disrupt Burrup Hub about the amazing campaign they have been running in WA and whether the pushback they have received is going to put them off. I also chat to Naomi Hodgson from Rising Tide about their upcoming Peoples Blockade of the world's biggest coal port in Newcastle, and to Aahana and Layla about Brisbane's School Strike For Climate.

Today we are marking a not very happy anniversary - 70 years this weekend since the first nuclear weapon was detonated on the Australian mainland at Emu Fields. I speak to Karina Lester, whose father Yami was permanently blinded by the blast. We also hear about the long and continuing struggle of South Australian Aboriginal people against the nuclear industry on their country - from Arabunna elder Kevin Buzzacott about resisting the world's biggest uranium mine on his land, and Barngarla elder Aunty Dawn Taylor about the most recent win - her people stopping a nuclear waste dump being built at Kimba.

On today's show we are talking about the ongoing dispossession, oppression, resilience and resistance of Palestinian people. We get an update from Lee Rhiannon who has just returned from Palestine, hear about the importance of Palestinian dakbe dancing from Sameer Ellagta, and replay an interview with Olfat Mahmoud - a legend of Palestinian humanitarian work who has sadly just passed away.

Note: This episode went to air on the radio a week before a military operation by Palestinian group Hamas began the latest high profile development in the seemingly never-ending war between Israel and Palestin. I am uploading it as a podcast now not in support of Hamas and their tactics, but to hopefully show some of the reasons why Palestinians continue to fight a war they seemingly can not possibly win. My solidarity is with the Palestinian people who every day suffer the low level war of continuing occupation and invasion of their land and lives. By making this show both as a radio program and a podcast I was hoping to bring attention and support to their continuing struggle for basic human rights.

Today is one last show on the Voice to Parliament referendum. I speak to three different Aboriginal perspectives - Bridget Cama from Uluru Dialogues, Boe Spearim from Treaty Before Voice, and Meriki Onus from Warriors for the Aboriginal Resistance.

Listen in to decide for yourself!

On today's show we hear about resistance to the International Mining And Resources Conference happening presently in Sydney. I speak to Jonah Shabtay from live at the protests, to Marisol Salinas about organising an international counter-conference, and to lawyer Anastasia Radievska about some of the most ridiculous over the top policing of protest we have seen in a long time.

On today's show we look at how government is trying to restrict protest around the country - we hear about new laws targetted at forest activists in Victoria and Tasmania; and get an account of the extreme police repression of Blockade Australia activists in Sydney recently. And we ask the question: what do we do about it all?
