    Louise Morris is an advocate with the Australia Institute who has spent her whole life fighting for the planet, and fighting against the big corporations trying to destroy it. We spoke about Louise’s recent trip to the Conference on the Transition away from Fossil Fuels in Colombia, the fossil fuel industry and state capture of our governments and how we can help build the world we need in the face of worsening climate breakdown.

    Why we need more everyday people in politics | Kate Hulett

    Kate is someone who is bursting with passion for making a positive impact in the world. She ran as an independent candidate in Fremantle at both the federal election and state election last year in Western Australia and came so close to winning with a margin of less than 1 percent both times. The cool thing about Kate though, is she would never strike you as a politician. She’s a photograher, she was a small business owner for 13 years in Walyalup/Fremantle, and she’s just a cool, everyday person. If you follow her online, you’ll see that she’s involved in the campaign against Woodside in WA, she speaks a lot about politics, and she seems to always be doing something to make her community and the world a better place. We spoke about loads of different stuff, including why we need more normal people involved in politics, the moral failings of the Labor party, the importance of community, connection and collaboration in a collapsing world, the gas industry and so much more.

    We have the power to shape our own future | Clancy Lester - Bee Man

    Clancy Lester is an environmental creator and educator, native bee, insect and plant nerd who is passionate about the climate and environment, indigenous knowledge, science communication, and making the case for ripping up the nature strips we currently have in our streets, and turning them into real nature strips, full of native flowers, plants and biodiversity. You might’ve seen Clancy’s videos on social media before, talking about bees, about how Autumn doesn’t exist in Australia, or the videos of him sun baking on a nature strip in the middle of the road wearing his buddy smugglers. We spoke about the need for positive male role models in the time of the manosphere, the nature and climate crisis, the capture of our politicians by their corporate donors and why we should all be excited to get out hands dirty and help build a better world.
