The state member for Ballina steps into Community Newsroom for the first time in 2020. Tamara Smith is a member of The Greens and wants to get back to parliament as soon as possible to fast-track funding for bushfires survivors. She also says we need to let conservative politicians do ‘a graceful U-turn’ on climate change.
We continue our long-form journalism summer with excerpts from a conversation between former ABC journalist Kerry O’Brien and Thomas Mayor about the Uluru Statement of the Heart.
Then we cross to the United States to hear about calls for a New Green Deal in response to climate change.
How does a young feminist from the city find her place in the Country Women’s Association? We hear the 2019 CBAA prize-winning documentary from 2-EAR’s Alice Ansara, The CWA and the F Word.
