A festival of women leading climate action /Arid Lands Environment Centre NT: defunded by Country Liberal Party state government.
The founder of The Women’s Climate Congress (WCC) Janet Salisbury invites women of Australia, in all diversity, to come together in Castlemaine at the end of March, with other women to explore how women are leading a national and international paradigm shift to promote more rapid action on climate change based on compassion, kindness, and care for all life on Earth. The Arid Lands Environment Center in Alice Springs punches above its weight. Perhaps that's why the Country Liberal Party has defunded it by $100,000. Alex Vaughan presents their campaigns opposing the extractivist profiteers bent on turning the wild and beautiful NT into a fracking sacrifice zone. Guests: Janet Salisbury: Founder, Women's Climate Congress Alex Vaughan: Policy, Arid Lands Environment Center Music 'Forest Party' with Matt Hsu and the Obscure Orchestra Collective "Harmonic Convergence" with Gaslight Puppet Show (Spotify) Earth Matters #1492 was produced by Bec Horridge on the lands of the Arrernte People in Mbantua /Alice Springs and the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People in Canberra
