Miners Wasting the Oceans: Submarine Tailings Disposal,=20
Simon Divecha, Mineral Policy Institute, Sydney

Ocean dumping is one of the methods used by mining companies to dispose of
their tailings.  Submarine Tailings Disposal (STD) has been promoted as
safe and reliable alternative to land based disposal.  Simon Divecha from
the Mineral Policy Institute, a non-government organisation advocating and
supporting communities across the Asia Pacific region who a re concerned
about impacts from mining, talks about how there is little evidence to
support mining companies claims, in fact that there has been negative
ecological and social impacts which have arisen in areas in PNG and
Indonesia where STD has been implemented.

Culling Wild-Ness:  The Dingoes of Fraser Island
Linden Schneiders, The Wilderness Society, Brisbane=20

Last week a dingo attack on 2 brothers left a tragic death of one of them,
because of inefficient management of the dingo population on the heavily
visited Fraser Island.  Linden Schneiders talks about the Queensland
Government's ad hoc political announcement of a cull of any dingo hanging
around areas occupied by humans on the island.  He explains why this cull
shouldn't happen and what sort of ecological ramifications it will have on
dingoes around Australia and on the biodiversity of World Heritage listed
Fraser Island.

"Breaking the Banks. The impact of the Asian Development Bank and
Australia's role in the Mekong region."

Today on Earth Matters we hear from Michael Simon, co-writer and editor of
"Breaking the Banks", a recent Oxfam Community Aid Abroad publication. The
book explores the social and environmental diversity of south-east Asia's
Mekong region, which encompasses several countries and is home to some 60
million people. In particular it takes a critical look at the activities of
large financial institutions in the area - especially the Asian Development
Bank.

2XX's Indra Esguerra speaks with Michael about the current issues facing
the water of the region - such as dams, forestry and climate change - as
well as the attempted inter-country management of such a vast and diverse
area.

We also hear about the various plans and activities of the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) for the Mekong area and Australia's significant role
in its activities. Australia is a founding member of the ADB and its
financial commitment to the Bank surpasses that to the International
Monetary Fund.=20

Pollution rises in Melbourne's Burnley Tunnel
Melbourne's Burnley Street Tunnel connects the suburbs of Richmond with
South Melbourne, running under the Yarra River and some of  Melbourne's
Botanical Gardens. It's part of Victoria's private road system called City
Link which is operated by Transurban.

This week the Victorian government body, the Environment Protection
Authority, or EPA, took action over poor visibility in the tunnel. They had
a blitz on smoky vehicles and upped the speed limit from 60 kilometres to
80. But what does this mean for air pollution levels in the nearby
suburbs?? - keeping in mind that diesel exhaust alone is highly toxic and
carcinogenic. Today we hear from Ruth Clemens of RACOF - the Richmond
Action Coalition on Freeways.

'Work': who defines it  how does it define us?

Sharon Beder is associate professor in the Science, Technology  Society
program at the University of Wollongong. Having worked for several years as
an engineer, in 1989 she turned her hand to writing books on a variety of
issues such as sustainable development, science  technology,
environmentalism  corporate PR.

Her most recent book, released in December, looks at the historical
development of the work ethic in English-speaking modern industrial
societies  at the impact of this development for our current notions of
work and leisure.

Selling the Work Ethic: from puritan pulpit to corporate PR looks at how
the notion of "work" defines the worth and social value of the individual
in society. And at how this concept is "sold" within the modern industrial
society. And at the impact that the dominance of this work ethic has on how
we organise our lives in a work-dominated society and how we define our
worth in society.

NB: Selling the Work Ethic is published by Scribe Publications in Australia.


Direct Action:
The story of Herb Edwards, Norwegian immigrant logging worker who tells of
the Spokane Free Speech fight (1910). "Told"/sung by Utah Phillips to a
live audience in New Orleans in 1999.

Taken from Fellow Workers, featuring ani difranco  Utah Phillips  his
Mensabilly Band.
Produced by ani difranco. Righteous Babe Records 1999.


NB: This program is a repeat of one that went to air last year, which
proved very popular with listeners.

East Timor - development or madness?

Now that the most spectacular events of  the 1999 violence in East Timor
have passed, media coverage of the Timorese struggle for independencce has
been minimal in Australia. Meanwhile, violence continues in many parts of
the country,  communities struggle to rebuild their lives  their
livelihoods, despite the extreme  level of destruction that went on in 1999.

Dilli is full of activity, as the interim leadership, NGOs  UNTAET (the UN
body in East Timor) oversee reconstruction, infrastructure and aid programs
to rebuild Timor. Foreign business has been quick to see their chance
within the massive development process now taking place, and Dilli has been
hailed by many as the site of the great new Capitalist experiment, where
business can expand unimpeded by the usual regulation or domestic laws
governing business  development issues.

Rowan Mitchell has been living  working in Dilli as part of the East Timor
Community Computer Project. The project was established in mid-2000 to give
practical assistance to Timorese communities in the form of computer
hardware  technical support. Rowan speaks about the project,  gives his
observations of local community development as it is (or isn't) taking
place in East Timor at present. He's speaking to Iain McIntyre, from 3cr's
SUUWA Show.

The Forests of Papua New Guinea
Today on Earth Matters we speak with Darren Gladman of Environment Victoria
about the forests of Papua New Guinea. Recently Darren spent 18 months in
Papua New Guinea (PNG) as the Forest Campaign Coordinator for the Worldwide
Fund for Nature.=20

Firstly we hear about the history of logging in PNG, as well as the types
of forest present throughout the country. In the 1980s industrial logging
greatly increased throughout PNG, while in recent years external factors
such as the Asian economic crisis and the World Bank have slowed the
destruction down.=20

We also speak to Darren about the social importance of forests for
communities throughout PNG and the presence of community timber mills and
logging. Finally we hear about the Eco Forestry Forum and learn of the
roles of the PNG Government and the Australian Government in the future
prospects for sustainability in PNG's forests.

LL:INFO: 3CR wins national awards for S11 coverage

[3CR Staff Email]

MEDIA RELEASE

3CR wins national media awards for S11 coverage
Tuesday November 28, 2000

3CR Community Radio in Melbourne won 3 awards at the weekend's Community
Broadcasting Association of Australia's (CBAA) annual conference held on
the Gold Coast in Queensland.

3CR won 2 awards for its coverage of the S11 protests outside the World
Economic Forum meeting in Melbourne over September 11th - 13th. The first
was for Excellence in Spoken Word Programming, News and Current Affairs and
Documentaries. The second was for the training of volunteers in preparation
for the special S11 outside broadcast under the category of the Dave Rose
Training Award. 3CR also picked up an award for it's live music show "Local
and Live" for Excellence in Music Programming.

During the 3 days of the S11 protests 3CR broadcast live hourly updates
from 7am until 10pm, special breakfast and hometime shows, as well as
supplying the broader community radio sector with an hour long S11 special
on each of the 3 days. Volunteers were trained in the use of new equipment,
live outside broadcasting and uploading audio files to the internet.

"The need for independent, non-corporate media was made crystal clear over
the period of S11. While newspapers, radio and television across the
mainstream led with "violent protestors" (even though their footage and
photos negated this statement), it was left to the likes of 3CR to give
voice both to the issues and cover just what was happening at the protest
site", says 3CR's Current Affairs Coordinator Juliet Fox.

Indigenous involvement in Tropical Rainforest Management and Research
 From November 16th to 17th the Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical
Rainforest Ecology and management held its annual conference in Cairns,
Queensland. Today on Earth Matters we hear about the incorporation of
indigenous knowledge and rights in to the management and research of
Australia's tropical rainforests. Firstly we hear from Claude Beeron, elder
from the southern wet tropics area and member of the Girringun elders and
reference group based in Cardwell. Tropical rainforests are not a place
most Australians associate with indigenous presence, knowledge and rights,
but as we hear from Claude the historical and ongoing connection between
indigenous communities and tropical rainforests in Queensland is very real.

IN: "I was born "
OUT: " Cassowary as well."
DUR: 5'30"
We also speak with Dermot Smyth, an honorary research fellow at the james
Cook University and current worker with the Rainforest Cooperative Research
Centre (CRC) on indigenous involvement in research. Dermot gives us a
history of indigenous involvement in tropical rainforest management and
research, and an overview of the the current state of Australia's tropical
rainforests.
IN: " Dermot would you"
OUT: "sort of shift."
DUR: 5'33
There are currently projects involving botht he indigenous and scientific
communities on tropical rainforest protection. Chris Kennedy, Cultural
Heritage officer for Girringun in Cardwell, Queensland, gives us some
specific examples.
IN: "So Chris there are"
OUT: "traditional owners of that area."
DUR: 6'05"
Finally on Earth Matters today we speak with Judy Atkinson, Aboriginal
Research facilitator with the Rainforest CRC on how she sees the current
conference incorporating indigenous concerns and the further steps that
need to be taken.
IN: "Judy how do you feel"
OUT: "have to be involved in.

Pacific In Peril: biological, economic and social impacts of climate change
on pacific coral reefs
Today on Earth Matters we take a look at global climate change and its
impacts on coral reefs and Pacific communities. First, we hear from
Benedict Southworth, campaigns manager with Greenpeace, about the recent
Pacific Islands Forum and its dealing with climate change. Climate change
was on the agenda, but the meeting failed to send a clear and strong
message to the up and coming climate negotiations on later this month in
the Hague.

We then speak with Professor Ove Hoegh Guldberg, one of the authors of
"Pacific in Peril" which was launched at the Pacific Islands Forum. Ove is
Professor of marine Studies at the University of Queensland and he explains
just how climate change has, and is, destroying the world's coral reefs and
the massive social and economic impact that will have throughout this
century. Biologically, coral reefs are expected to be extinct by the end of
the century as global warming continues, and sea temperatures continue to
rise.

SECTION 1
IN: "Benedict can you just tell me =85"
OUT: " =85 not a good future what ever way you look at it."
DUR: 14'25"

SECTION 2
IN: "And so what sorts of things did the Forum =85"
OUT: "=85 cutting down our greenhouse emissions."
DUR: 9'30"
(the 2 sections include both Benedict Southworth from Greenpeace and marine
Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg)

justice. The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with
the financial assistance of the Community Broadcasting Foundation. For
details of where you can hear the program, see end of page.


Call centres cause mental  physical stress in staff:

Following on from last week's program on workplace bullying,this week the
Stick Together Show takes a look at the high incidence of reported mental 
physical stress among workers at call centres Australia-wide.

3CR's Nola Brooks talks with Marg Williamson, OHS  workers' compensation
officer with the Telecommunications Division of the CEPU.

Commonwealth Bank is called to account:

As part of an ongoing campaign against the Commonwealth Banks' recent moves
to move staff over onto Australian Workplace Agreements, the Finance Sector
Union went to the CBA Annual General Meeting on 26th October. Armed with
several 1000 proxy votes, the union planned to make its voice heard  call
the bank to account, not only on staff treatment but also on community
anger over reduced service to Australian rural and metropolitan
communities. But when they got there, shareholders had their own questions,
resulting in a marathon meeting which lasted for over 4 hours. Tony Beck
(FSU) talks to Dennis Evans, from 3CR's Strikeback program.

And Victorian unions have given the bank until today to change their tune
on AWAs or they will begin a campaign of withdrawing union $$$ from
investment with the bank. Leigh Hubbard (VTHC) explains the proposal.

DETAILS:

Fiji nation day goes 'blue':
Unions in Fiji on Tuesday joined other community and business groups in a
day of protest today against the measures of the Interim Administration in
Fiji, calling for a return to the 1997 constitution which they say formed
the backbone for democracy in that country. Inviting people to wear blue to
express their protest, the organisers say there was a high level of support
for their action. The Interim Attorney General had ruled that civil
servants would be in breach of the Public Service Code of Conduct if they
participated. Diwan Shankar is Assistant Secretary of the Fiji Trade Union
Congress  he speaks here from his office in Suva on Tuesday.

Internet surveillance in child care centres:
A proposal to install webcams into child care centres in WA and 'sell'
parents access to the website on which the 'Kindercam' will be shown has
alarmed child care workers  their union. While it seems unlikely that
centres will agree to go down this path, the proposal has serious
implications, not only for workers but also for issues of privacy and
internet accessibility to children within the centres. Sue Devereaux from
the Liquor, Hospitality  Miscellaneous Workers Union in WA explains.

Share arrangements for blue collar workers:
A Federal government report announced this week recommends changes to
Australia's taxation, company and industrial laws to encourage what it
calls a culture of 'share-owning' among workers. While a proportion of
white collar workers and management level employees already participate in
company share schemes, the government's approach to this issue requires
careful monitoring according to critics within the labour movement. To find
out more about this subject, we spoke to Sarah Turboville, lecturer in the
Dept of Management at Monash University in Melbourne who's currently
researching a PhD in industrial relations and employees share-owning
arrangements.

Public funding to private education:

As the Senate Inquiry continues into the issue of Federal funding of
private schools in Australia, public outrage grows at a Federal Government
proposal to increase public funding to elite private schools in Australia
by $50 million, bringing funding of private education to around 65% of the
total Federal schools budget. Mary Bluett (State President, AEU) explains
to 3CR's Nola Brooks what this would mean for public education in Australia.

allow for the establishment of trade unions in a country where free and
independent unions have in the past been outlawed has been hailed by many
as a great victory for workers. But, says Romawaty during a recent visit to
Australia, there are still many limitations to the operation and freedom of
unions under the new laws. Her visit was courtesy of Action for Solidarity
with Indonesia  East Timor (ASIET).


S26 in Prague  Melbourne:

Workers and unions this week join hundreds of thousands of environmental
and community activists around the world in the next phase of the global
fight against exploitation and corporate tyranny. From September 26-28, the

LL:AA: Help keep Women on the Line

[3CR Staff Email]

I am writing to ask for your help to keep Women on the Line (WOTL) on the 
air. As a supporter of women's rights you will be aware of the need for 
women to have a voice in the media. Too often women are represented 
negatively and using stereotypes. Women rarely seem to qualify as 'experts' 
or 'commentators'. Issues that affect women are seldom covered with 
intelligence and sensitivity and debates within the feminist communities 
are billed as, 'rifts, signalling the decline of feminism'.

The sad fact is that, although we might not like it, many of us accept the 
absence of women's voices in the mainstream media. We are comforted by the 
fact that community-based media has an improved, if imperfect, record. 
However, it requires vigilance to ensure that women are not silenced on 
alternative media also. WOTL is the only women's current affairs program 
broadcast around Australia via satellite.

The recent international women's conference in New York is a prime example 
of the need for WOTL. WOTL was the only Australian media that attended and 
covered the entire Beijing-plus-five conference. The fact that this trip 
was entirely self-funded (I had to get a second job) highlights the 
commitment to covering women's issues and events.

It costs around $30,000 a year to produce WOTL. Community Broadcasting 
Foundation have, in recent years, significantly reduce the grant to Women 
on the Line (by a third) despite rising costs. Last year they provided less 
than a third of the amount required. The Community Broadcasting Foundation 
is now allocating grants for 2001. . Funding is not guaranteed and WOTl 
needs the support, not only of those that can/do listen, but of all who 
appreciate the importance of feminist radio in Australia. There are two 
main ways you can support the program:

1) support this letter. Reply to this email, ring (ph 03 9419 8377) or 
write (PO Box 1277 Collingwood 3066)

2) write a letter or e-mail of your own explaining why you think a national 
feminist radio program is important. I will include your letter in my 
application to the CBF.

Applications close September 14 2000 so sometime before then would be great.

Thanks for your continued support.

Yours in sisterhood,
Cath Keaney
Producer of Women on the Line

3CR to provide alternative coverage of S11 events
Monday September 4th - Wednesday September 13th

Melbourne's political community radio station, 3CR will give a voice to the
S11 protestors and those with alternative views on the World Economic Forum
- providing coverage independent of the corporate and commercial media. As
a community run and community owned radio station that does not depend on
advertising or government funding for our survival, 3CR is in a unique
position to provide coverage not tainted by the almighty $dollar$.

3CR Community Radio will broadcast special coverage of the issues and
events of the World Economic Forum and the September 11th - 13th protests.
During the three days of the meeting 3CR will be presenting live programs
from the Crown Casino and be broadcasting hourly updates from 7am through
to 10pm everyday.

Special coverage will begin on Monday September 4th with 3CR Breakfast and
Hometime shows focusing on the impact of globalisation on women around the
world. This will start a week of interviews and information produced by
3CR's current affairs programs that will explore different global concerns
on each day of the week prior to the S11 protests.
(Monday - women; Tuesday - Third World; Wednesday - workers; Thursday -
environment; Friday - indigenous peoples).

In addition, the station is currently working closely with the Melbourne
Independent Media Centre and will be contributing audio stories to the
website melbourne.indymedia.org for access right around the world.

3CR will also be distributing special S11 programs via the ComRadSat, the
satellite service of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia
(CBAA). On Monday and Tuesday mornings between 10 - 11am community stations
right around Australia will be able to access an hour of live coverage of
the S11 activities.

Western Australia Parks Proposal Condemned
It's not often that the announcement of new National Parks and Conservation
Reserves is met with such disappointment. West Australian Premier Richard
Court made the announcement to convert some 540,000 hectares in to 2
National Parks and 3 Conservation Reserves. The proposal has been widely
condemned, primarily because it blatantly fails to respect and involve the
aboriginal traditional owners.=20

Premier Richard Court has labelled those opposing the parks proposal as
following a political agenda. Maria Mann is from Environs Kimberley, a
local environment group based in Broome, and she rejects the Premier's
accusation saying that it's simply about good conservation and opposing a
cynical exercise in trying to win green credential. Here Maria Mann begins
by describing the land now proposed for conservation.

Sole parents  mutual obligation
The Federal government's welfare reform agenda has been made clearer in
recent weeks and represents a dramatic extension of mutual obligation
policies currently in place, say welfare rights advocates. Taking their cue
from countries like the USA, the government has also proposed the
introduction of mutual obligation criteria for sole parents. Jenny Blakey
from the Welfare Rights Units discusses the issue with 3CR's Giselle Hannah.

Hiroshima Day - August 6
Sunday August 6 is Hiroshima Day  unions/workers are being encouraged to
join with environment and community activists to protest at the impact of
the nuclear industry on the Australian community, the environment,
indigenous land rights  sustainable industry development. As Dave Sweeney
[Australian Conservation Foundation] points out, the impact of the nuclear
industry on workers health  safety  the syphoning of government funding
away from sustainable industry development  jobs are just some of the
consequences of this dangerous industry which are of concern to Australian
workers.

Tassie workers take ALP Conference to task
As the issue of 'free' vs 'fair' trade was debated on the floor of the ALP
National conference in Hobart today, Tasmanian manufacturing workers voiced
their own message to the Labour Party from outside the Wrest Point Casino
where the conference was being held. Their message: vote no to the ALP
draft 'free trade' policy being put to the vote by delegates inside. [The
vote against the policy was subsequently lost by a narrow margin.] Philip
Baker, Secretary of the AMWU Tas. branch, spoke to the Stick Together Show
from the rally.

Joy Manufacturing Update A few weeks ago we covered the Joy Manufacturing 
dispute, in which 70 workers had been locked out for over 3 months after a 
breakdown in EBA negotiations. This week we return to the picket line at 
Moss Vale to check how things are going for the 63 workers still remaining. 
Finances are low and workers are forced to stand by  watch scab labour 
doing their work due to Supreme Court injunctions against the unions and 
workers. But, says one of the workers Pat Woodward, spirits are strong  
national  local support has been very encouraging.=20

We also talk to AMWU State Organiser Wayne Phillips about an accident which 
occurred at the company's Coniston depot where he says work from the Moss 
Vale plant has been being done by workers who left the picket, much to the 
anger  disappointment of their fellow workers.=20

World Heritage Bureau considers Kakadu
There's been no work done at the Jabiluka uranium mine since September 12th
1999, and last September was also the original date set for the mine to be
up and running. Not only has that clearly not been achieved but there's
also no clear sign as to when the proposed mine will be up and running.=20

Partly the hold up has come from the issue being taken into the
international forum, primarily through the World Heritage Bureau, as Kakadu
is World Heritage listed. From June 26th to July 1st the Bureau met in

Light Rail Proposal for Fraser Island
Fraser Island lies off the southern coast of Queensland and is a national
and international environmental icon best known for its unique forests and
long white sandy beaches. Yet a current proposal is concerning local
environment group Friends of the Earth Maryborough - it's a light rail that
would cross the width of the Island. Ross Daniel from Friends of the Earth
Maryborough joins Earth Matters to describe the proposal and his concerns
IN: "There's been a proposal =85"
OUT: " =85 another rail line across the island."
DUR: 7'30"

New Regulations set to restrict forest access
Under the previous Kennett Government in Victoria a range of moves were
made to restrict public access to government information and procedures.
Under the current Bracks government many promises have been made about open
and accessible government. But when it comes to the state's forests
practices, that certainly remains to be seen. Currently there are moves to
restrict public access to parts of Victoria's native forests which would be
brought in under Occupational Health and Safety regulations. The changes
would potentially impact on forest activism against the logging of the
states old growth native forests. Today we hear from Robin Dyall, Principal
Solicitor with the Environment Defenders Office in Melbourne.

International Whaling Commission Annual Meeting
According to the Australian Conservation Foundation the Japanese Whaling
Association hired public relations firm Shandwick to run its campaign in
the lead up to the International Whaling Commission meeting held in
Adelaide from July 3rd to 6th. The challenge, presumably, was to put a
positive spin on slaughtering whales while contesting that there's any
scientific reason for protecting them. While the impact of such PR on the
public is unclear, Japan certainly succeeded in exerting its influence on
the outcomes of the meeting itself. Denise Boyd is an Oceans Campaigner
with Greenpeace.
IN: "The International Whaling Commission =85"
OUT: " =85 is all about."

KOREAN WORKERS ATTACKED BY POLICE
Workers from two South Korean unions have been subject to brutal and
unprovoked attackes by riot police on the 29  30 June with thousands
arrested  sent to police locups around the city. Several union leaders
remain in prison and look likely to do so for up to 3 months. We speak to
Yoon Youngmo - International Secretary of theKorean Confederation of Trade
Unions (KCTU) about the attacks and what this means about the South Korean
government's attitude to unions at the present moment.


ACTU CONGRESS 2000
On the program we look at two issues which occupied discussion or gained
attention during last week's ACTU Congress 2000 in Woollongong.

ANNE FLOOD...
Was one of 10 NTEU delegates to the Congress and, while there, was elected
indigenous representative to the ACTU Executive. Along with other
delegates, she was instrumental in putting the issue of indigenous
education and employment onto the agenda of the congress. She is also the
Director of the Goollungullia Education Centre at the University of Western
Sydney, MacArthur.

MEGAN JENNER...
Is the national convenor of GLAM (Gay  Lesbian ASU Members) which won the

Federal Renewable Energy Bill
With climate change and an every decreasing pool of non-renewable
resources, there is clearly a need for Australian society to move away from
their dependence on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. The Federal
Government's Renewable Energy Bill goes a small way to achieving this, but
it's not without its problems.=20

For example, just what is considered a renewable energy resource? Is it
just wind, water and sunshine, or is it also our native forests? Libby
Anthony is the general manager of the Alternative Technology Assocation,
and today she joins Earth Matters where she begins by outlining the content
of the current Renewable Energy Bill.

DUR: 11'30

The Solar Sailer
Well while the energy sector is being forced to move just slightly away
from fossil fuel dependency with the Renewable Energy Bill, others are are
moving ahead independently with innovations that remove the need for
polluting fossil fuels. One such person is Robert Dane, the inventor of the
Solar Sailer a large boat set to be used as a commercial ferry service on
Sydney Harbour. Jim Beatson spoke to Robert Dane, who begins by describing
the Solar Sailer.

Esmeralda starts up again in Romania
At the end of January this year Australian mining company Esmeralda was
exposed for being involved in a huge cyanide spill in Romania. The company
is part owner of the gold tailing reprocessing operation at Baia Mare. At
the time there was international outrage at the extent of the damage caused
by the accident, and it's unlikely that the environment of the region will
ever fully recover from that amount of pollution. Yet, it seems the mine is
once again up and running. Today on Earth Matters we hear from Geoff Evans,
Director of the Mineral Policy Institute, who recently visited the site.=20

SHARON BEDER, "Global Spin: the corporate assault on environmentalism"
Sharon Beder is the author of "Global Spin, the corporate assault on
environmentalism." Today Sharon joins us to discuss the revised edition of
the book which takes a particular look at Greenpeace's involvement in
building the dream of the "green" Olympics.

Sharon Beder maintains that the major environmental crisis that we
currently face is not one of biodiversity loss, or land clearing, but of
corporate domination over what we see, hear, think and believe. Today
Sharon joins Earth Matters to discuss Greenpeace's role in the "green"
Olympics push, the repercussions this has, and the general trends that
environment groups have taken in recent years with regard to "solution"
finding.
IN: "Well I mean basically we have all these =85"
OUT: "=85 membership or their subscriptions up."
DUR: 9'56"

SHORT BREAK
"Will Greenpeace continue to uphold the principles of its founders, or will
it become just another symbolic marketing hook, a subscription sold to
suburban householders to be taken in regular doses as a palliative for
environmental anxiety while they continue their lifestyle as polluting
producers and consumers?"

Given that Greenpeace is seen by so many as being a key element of the
Australian environment movement, I asked Sharon what the responses had been
to her attacks on Greenpeace.=20
IN: "Umm well when I first published =85"
OUT: "=85 running after their tails in a way."

the Environment Australia website, publicising all the good news about the
state of Australia's environment. Citizens Against Enviornmental Hypocrisy
countered the government propaganda by launching their own alternative site
and today we speak with Dr Terence Turtle about the site and its impact.

Press Release

3CR - Uncensored and Outspoken!
Free from corporate sponsorship and government control, 3CR brings the
community social justice radio with integrity.

They have tried to sue us, investigate us and to keep us quiet.  3CR
prevails because we are the Uncensored and Outspoken voice of the
community.  3CR continues to demonstrate its independence in a world of
restricted media ownership and content dictated by market values.  Unlike
the information provided by mainstream media, 3CR broadcasts stories from
real people's lives and their issues. With hundreds of community groups
putting their views on 3CR - Kooris, women, environmentalists, community
language groups, social justice groups, trade unions, lesbians and gay
groups, community arts, alternative and local musicians, 3CR remains
committed to the voice of true media diversity.=20

3CR's current affairs programming covers issues of local and global
concern.  Typical of the issues that 3CR has covered over the last 12
months have been the unique focus on the liberation struggle of East Timor.
  With nearly 12 years of East Timor programs we were uniquely placed to
understand, hear and report first hand, the destruction of East Timor by
the retreating Indonesian army and militias.  Locally 3CR has committed
itself to provide access for the Aboriginal community.  With strong support
and ownership, programs like Not Another Koori Show, Songlines, Koori
Survival Show, Ilbijerri Chat, Stonefree and Mangrook are a proud part of
3CR's  community access broadcasting.

3CR is also proud of our fearless coverage of prison issues including the
privatisation of prisons and the scandalous use of immigration detention
centres.  3CR's commitment to the voice of the community is reflected in
the extension of  our prison issue program Doin' Time to an hour after the
station received a petition from Women prisoners at the Metropolitan
Women's Correctional Centre.

3CR is independent, community owned and controlled, with progressive views
unfettered by the demands of commercial or government sponsors.  3CR relies
on the support of the community and our 400 volunteers to keep us on air.
To stay alive and independent we are celebrating 3CR's Uncensored and
Outspoken Radiothon from June 12th - 18th.

Anyone who donates can win
=A7 A Dyno Cruiser Glide Deluxe, Value $600 from Loco Low Riders
=A7 A Giant Mountain Bike, Value $500 from Lygon Cycles

Your support is critical to ensure the Uncensored and Outspoken voice will
continue.

Western Basalt Plains Grassland
Today on Earth Matters we explore an urban development which threatens one
of Australia's most endangered ecosystems. It's a housing development which
- if it gets the go ahead - will potentially destroy a significant remnant
of Western Basalt Plains Grassland.=20

The situation paints a familiar picture of our continuing environmental
impact through unsustainable urbanisation - and begs the question as to
just who's responsible for ensuring the protection of these small but
significant environments. There's just 0.1% of the Western Basalt Plains
Grassland community left, and yet it's survival continues to compromised by
still more destruction.

On the show we hear a range of people about the proposed development site
at Baldwin Avenue (north Sunshine) in Melbourne's western suburbs. Gordon
Duncan, vice president of Friends of the Maribyrnong Valley joins us to
express his concerns about the situation, as does Colin Hocking, Senior
Lecturer in Conservation Biology in the School of Life Sciences and
Technology at Victoria University.=20

We're also joined by mark Wingfield, Manager of Flora and Fauna for the
Port Philip region with the Department of Natural Resources and
Environment, to discuss what the department is doing about the situation.

Telstra employees redundancy win
The Federal Court last week upheld an old Redundancy agreement between
Telstra  its employees - a further step in the campaogn to avoid massive
job cuts foreshadowed by Telstra CEO earlier this year. Divisional
Secretary of the Communications Division of the CEPU, Burt Blackburne
explains  also gives an update on the campaign against the further
sell-off of Telstra  the reaction of rural communities.

WA docks picket
AMWU members and officials are 3 weeks into a picket on the Freemantle
docks after a company attempted to import an manufacturing plant and
associated workers from South African for setting up in WA. While the issue
of "Aussie jobs" needs not to get bogged down in the parochial, the moving
of entire manufacturing concerns off-shore from South Africa raises some
serious concerns. We caught up with AMWU organiser John Mosselton on his
way to his picket shift.

Economic summits to climb
With so much talk about the World Economic Forum, state  federal budgets,
 the Victorian government's recent Economic Summit=85.3CR's Nola Brooks
talks with community activist, Marion Harper, about a proposed "People's
Economic Summit" to be held later this year at which grassroots activists

UN looks in to depleted uranium in Kosovo
March 24th was the first anniversary of the NATO bombing of Kosovo.
Throughout the conflict thousands of rounds of ammunition containing
depleted uranium were used, leaving a toxic legacy for generations to come.
Last year Earth Matters brought you news of the use of depleted uranium
with an interview with Radoje Lausevic of the Serbian Ecological Society in
Belgrade.

Just recently the United Nations Balkans Task Force finalised its
investigation in to the environmental consequences of depleted uranium. As
early as last year they had determined that the Kosovo conflict did not
cause an environmental catastrophe affecting the Balkans region as a whole,
and now they say that NATO has not supplied them with sufficient
information to carry out environmental and human health impact assessments
- including that of the consequences of depleted uranium. Today we hear
from activist Jane Howarth about the issue.

Australia's fishing industry and sustainability
There are many examples around the world of fishing industries having to

Regional Coordinator of the Marine and Coastal Community Network in the
Northern Territory, about the process and the concerns.

SHARON BEDER, "Global Spin: the corporate assault on environmentalism"
Sharon Beder is the author of "Global Spin, the corporate assault on
environmentalism." Today Sharon joins us to discuss the revised edition of
the book which takes a particular look at Greenpeace's involvement in
building the dream of the "green" Olympics.

Sharon Beder maintains that the major environmental crisis that we
currently face is not one of biodiversity loss, or land clearing, but of
corporate domination over what we see, hear, think and believe. Today
Sharon joins Earth Matters to discuss Greenpeace's role in the "green"
Olympics push, the repercussions this has, and the general trends that
environment groups have taken in recent years with regard to "solution"
finding.

DUR: 9'56"

SHORT BREAK
"Will Greenpeace continue to uphold the principles of its founders, or will
it become just another symbolic marketing hook, a subscription sold to
suburban householders to be taken in regular doses as a palliative for
environmental anxiety while they continue their lifestyle as polluting
producers and consumers?"

Given that Greenpeace is seen by so many as being a key element of the
Australian environment movement, I asked Sharon what the responses had been
to her attacks on Greenpeace.=20
IN: "Umm well when I first published =85"
OUT: "=85 running after their tails in a way."

International Women's Day 2000 SPECIAL!
March 8th marks International Women's Day and on 3CR community radio, where 
Earth Matters is produced, the day was marked with 24 hours of special 
broadcasting - including an hour looking at women and the environment. 
Today on Earth Matters we hear excerpts from the show.

Forest violence and its impact on female forest activists Many people may 
be aware that there's been a range of violent incidents against activists 
involved in forest campaigns around Victoria. An extremely alarming recent 
example of this occurred in the forests of East Gippsland in Victoria, 
where a group of 40-50 loggers and others attacked a camp at Goolengook. 
The affect this had on women involved in environmental campaigning was an 
issue I took up with Fiona York. Fiona is a longtime forest campaigner 
based at GECO - the Goongerah Environment Centre Office.
IN: "Fiona um"
OUT: "no worries."
DUR: 4'55

Globalisation and the September World Economic Forum Globalisation and the 
encroachment of multinational companies into all parts of the world has 
already had a devastating affect on peoples and environments 
internationally. Last November environmentalists and a broad spectrum of 
community groups demonstrated their opposition to globalisation in Seattle. 
In September the World Economic Forum will meet in Melbourne to continue 
their discussions on globalisation. Protests are already being planned, and 
Sarojini Krishnapillai speaks to Nicole Oke of the Globalisation Action Group.
IN: "So tell us"
OUT: "casino."
DUR: 4'20

Women in marine education
Finally on Earth Matters we hear from Alex Giannuzzi from the Marine 
Discovery Centre in Queenscliff, Victoria, about the centre's activities 
and the role of women in marine science and education.
IN: "Alex Giannuzzi"
OUT: "bye."
DUR: 4'40
The show also includes some women and environment "facts" and 2
international solidarity messages from Indian activists Vandana Shiva (45")
and Rukmini Rao (50").

LL:PR: what's on the stick together show this week

[3CR Staff Email]

The Stick Together Show
Week beginning: 4'3'2000
Duration:   27'
Starts: Theme as per usual
Ends:   "...see you next week."  +  Theme as usual

--

National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial  workplace
justice.

The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the
assistance of the Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the
program, see end of page.



AWAs - where are they taking Australian workers

We've seen some much publicised disputes in recent years [BHP, Waterfront,
etc] around the issue of individual  contracts  the right to collectively
bargain. And some unexpected wins in the courts which have given workers 
their unions a breather in this dispute. But what's happening on the ground
for workers in less high-profile workplaces/industries where AWAs are often
forced on workers under the guise of a generous "offer", with workers not
really finding out the down-side of individual contracts until it's too
late. We look at two examples of how workers are faring under AWAs.

  Tasrail - Roger Jowett [National Secretary, Rail, Tram  Bus Union]
  Bevpak - Jennifer Dowell [Organiser, AMWU NSW]


Older workers

What can workers expect to face as they age  how should we be valuing 
protecting older workers in Australia?

Sharon Hoogland [Wesley Mission, Sydney] - about a report entitled "Faces 
of Aging" which looks at the experiences of older workers in the 
International Year of the Older Person [speaking to Bill Hartley]

Stella Giles [Western Older Workers] works with older workers in 
Melbourne's Western suburbs  talk about what workers can offer in later 
years if given 1/2 a chance [speaking to James McKenzie, 3CR's "Strikeback" 
program]

World Wetlands Day 2000
On February 2nd 1971 the Convention on Wetlands was signed in the Iranian
city of Ramsar, located on the edge of the Caspian Sea. The official title
of the treaty is The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance
especially as Waterfowl Habitat - but nowadays it's more commonly known as
the Ramsar Convention.=20

Sarojini Krishnapillai is a marine campaigner with the Victorian national
parks association, where on World Wetlands Day they turned their focus to
some local concerns. Today on Earth Matters Saro joins us and begins by
describing just what sort of a wetland exists on Westernport Bay.

Campaign against Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean
On January 25th Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise cruised into Fremantle,
Western Australia, after taking non-violent action against Japanese whaling
in the Southern Ocean. Greenpeace says that Japan's Antarctic whaling
program is in violation of articles 65 and 120 of the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Seas, a convention which sets out how states
should follow the International Whaling Commission in protecting whales.=20

Japan continues to ignore both the commission and the convention and
intends to kill 440 Minke whales this year. Today we hear from John Bowler,
a Greenpeace campaigner on board the Arctic Sunrise, speaking from the ship
docked in Fremantle.
IN: "Yes well we've just come back from =85"
OUT: "=85 of the global community."

Labour issues online
Whether you love them, hate them or don't even know what the internet looks
like - whatever your relationship to online technologies, most of us will
find the internet encroaching on greater  greater areas of our public
and/or private lives over the next ten years. Activists on both the right
and left of politics have been pushing their messages through online
technologies [the internet and e-mail] for several years now. Unions should
get their act together and do the same, according to Eric Lee.

Eric is the founder  editor of a large international labour website
entitled LabourStart which aims to bring daily news and coverage of labour
struggles and events to interested people across the globe. Eric is also
the author of "The Labour Movement and the Internet: The New
Internationalism" (Pluto Press, London, 1996) and has written a number of
articles on the same subject. In August, 1999, he visited Australia as a
guest of Adult Learners Week, giving talks and workshops on practical uses
for the world wide web and online communications to both adult educators
and unions.

On today's program, we explore these topics [and many more] in an extended
discussion with Eric Lee on the role of the internet within the
international labour movement and the uses it can be put to by unions and
grassroots, rank-and-file activists alike.

"Against Nature" re-broadcast on ABCTV
Back in December 1997 the BBC screened a 2 part television documentary
titled "Against Nature". The program has a strong anti-environmental
message, with just who's behind the program remaining unclear. In Britain
it was the subject of an independent television commission inquiry which
saw official apologies made and a right of reply debate televised.=20

Last July the ABC broadcast the controversial series, but not the debate.
And now, it seems, it's time for the repeat. "Against Nature" is to be
screened on the ABC over two consecutive Tuesdays  - January 25th and
February 1st. When the ABC bought the series it apparently paid for 2
broadcasts, and as far as they're concerned series purely shows the
otherside of the debate.=20

Cam Walker of Friends of the Earth disagrees - seeing it as misleading
propaganda produced by an alarming combination of the the far left and the
far right.
DUR: 14'45"

Protection for Western Victoria
Over 80% of the original vegetation of Western Victoria has been cleared,
which is one reason why regional and local environmenta groups have got
together to propose a new National Park.=20

Today we hear from Geraldine Ryan of Environment Victoria about the
proposed Greater Glenelg National Park, and the current consultation paper
for the Regional Forest Agreement of the western region.

Greenhouse gas emissions and immigration
Last month the Australia Institute, a progressive think tank based in
Canberra, released a report titled: "Population Growth and Greenhouse Gas
Emissions". Authored by Hal Turton and Clive Hamilton, the report asserts
in its Executive Summary that: "The analysis shows that Australia's
population growth has been one of the main factors driving growth in
domestic greenhouse gas emissions". In relating the matter to immigration
they state that: "emissions per capita in countries of origin is only 42%
of average emissions in Australia" and that the "implication is that as
immigrants alter their lifestyle to that of Australians, they increase
global greenhouse gas emissions."

In a letter to a Melbourne newspaper, National Liaison Officer with Friends
of the Earth, Cam Walker, wrote that : "Rather than raising concerns about
new immigrants entering the country, we should be concerned at the
massively disproportionate per capita greenhouse emissions produced by the
Australian community as a whole." Today on Earth Matters 3CR's Heather
Benbow speaks to Cam Walker, of Friends of the Earth Australia.

Arsenic contaminated groundwater in Bangladesh

Today on Earth Matters we visit the village of Nillkhanda in Bangladesh to
discuss and explore the issue of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic is found in the
groundwater of around 65% of Bangladesh and it currently threatens the
health of some 70 million people throughout Bangladesh.

Arsenic is believed to be naturally occurring in the earth's crust
throughout Bangladesh, yet with the massive use of groundwater some of the
underground rock has been exposed to oxygen. For arsenic, oxidisation means
that it becomes water soluble. Arsenic is toxic and carcinogenic, and
already 7000 people have been diagnosed with arsenic poisoning and an
unknown number have died.

Just last week Earth Matters spoke with Dr Hasina Momotaj, Research Officer
with the Arsenic Project, Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
on a visit to an affected village. Today we join Dr Hasina at Nillkhanda
where she describes the present situation. It is through tube wells that
the people access the groundwater, and at Nillkhanda only one tube well out
of 42 is arsenic free.

We also hear from a 4 year old girl suffering some of the symptoms of
arsenic poisoning, and from an older man who also tells us about the range
of people who consistently come and try and sell him cures and remedies.

WOMEN UNDER NEW BRITAIN

In Australia earlier this year, as a guest of Emily's List and the Search
Foundation, BEATRIX CAMPBELL spoke on the issues facing women in "New
Britain" under the Blair Labor Government.

Feminist, journalist and activist - Bea also has a number of books to her
credit, including "Iron Ladies: Why Do Women Vote Tory", "Diana,  Princess
of Wales: How Sexual Politics Shook the Monarchy", "Goliath: Britain's
Dangerous Places" [on the 1990s riots in UK] and "Return to Wigan Pier"
[which traces George Orwell's classic work of a similar name and documents
the struggles of working class Britain under the Thatcher years.]
Most recently, she has been working on a new book, which looks at the
rising backlash against evidence given by survivors of child sexual abuse.

On today's edition of the Stick Together show, we bring you an extended
interview with Beatrix Campbell recorded during her most recent Australian
visit.

Thanks to the Search Foundation's Carmel Shute for assistance in making

Director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in
India and is involved both in non-violent direct action against genetically
engineered foods and governmental legislating on the crops and foods of
companies such as Monsanto.=20

Y2K PENALTIES

While most of us are fairly "over" all the hype that surrounds the turn of
the century festivities coming up in just over a week's time, there's one
aspect of this New Year frenzy that deserves attention. Millenium bug or
not, whatever happens as the clock ticks over on January 1, 2000 one
thing's for sure =85=85. there will be 1000s of Australian workers working
overtime to make sure essential  emergency services run smoothly into the
new millenium. And - their unions say - they deserve special remuneration
for this special task. 3CR's NOLA BROOKS explores this issue with BERT
BLACKBURN [Secretary, Communications Division, CEPU].


ACTU LIVING WAGE CASE

The ACTU Living Wage Case, which is seeking a $24 wage rise for all
low-paid workers in Australia, is currently before the IRC  will be
decided sometime in February-March. Victorian Trades Hall Secretary - LEIGH
HUBBARD - has been involved in supporting the claim  he explains it's
importance for Australian workers to 3CR's NICK LENEHAN.

EMPLOYMENT NATIONAL UNDER THREAT

With criticism coming from all sides and a significant loss of contracts
within the competitive tendering market of employment services delivery,
Federal government-owned Employment National [formerly, the CES] looks
likely to shed at least 1000 more jobs and may be forced to close
altogether, putting at risk a further 700 workers. What's behind the demise
of the government agency is the subject of some debate; meanwhile staff
continue to work as best they can in the midst of difficult and stressful
change and overwhelming job insecurity, says MATTHEW HAMMOND [an organiser
with the Community  Public Sector Union].  And what's become of the old,
now seemingly outdated notion of governments taking responsibility for
long-term unemployed and the delivery of employment support services? While
many would argue this has never actually been the case, things look even
more grim for many struggling to survive in the brave new competitive
marketplace of the jobless.

Queensland Land Clearing Laws at Last
Clearing of native vegetation in Queensland has sky-rocketed over the last
few months in anticipation of land clearing restrictions. After more than a
year, the Labor state Government has finally pushed through legislation
that restricts land clearing.=20

Today on Earth Matters we hear from Imogen Zethoven of the Queensland
Conservation Council to get the details on the legislation and the problems
and shortfalls arising from it. We also hear about the range of reactions
that the regulations have been met with, and whether this means the end of
the increase in land clearing in the sunshine state.

OUT: "=85 even with this new legislation."
DUR: 10'25"

Marine National Park Proposal for Victoria
While the level of land conservation in Australia continues to be
scrutinised, one thing's for certain - environmental protection is much
greater on the land than in the sea. A lengthy Victorian process that seeks
to address this issue recently reached a key juncture, with the release of
the Environment Conservation Council's Marine National Parks proposal for
Victoria.

Today we hear from Sarojini Krishnapillai, Marine Campaigner with the
Victorian Natonal Parks Association, about the proposal and the community's
role in shaping the future of marine conservation.

A look back at the World Trade Organisation Talks
Some weeks back we spoke to Anna Reynolds, National Liaison Officer with
the Australian Conservation Foundation, before she went to the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) talks in Seattle. Anna spoke about concerns surrounding
genetically modified foods and eco-labelling, and as she mentioned back
then, there was a chance that the talks would fail - and that's exactly
what happened.
IN: "Well the talks actually =85
OUT: "=85 inside and outside the meeting."

Acquired Brain Injury  Work

In NSW alone, around 10,000 people will sustain a traumatic brain injury
this year. Of those, close to 1000 will be left with a permanent
disability. The causes of acquired brain injury [ABI] are diverse and may
include a fall, a stroke, sporting or workplace accidents, substance abuse
or motor vehicle accidents. The range of effects of such an injury on
individuals vary but most people agree that living with ABI has changed
their lives dramatically, including their capacity for work and their
ability to access employment and training. Often, this is as much a result
of community and employer attitudes and inflexible work systems as about
the specific injuries themselves.

Unions have waged a number of campaigns about OHS, changes to workers'
compensation and workplace injury/safety over recent months=85..all of which
are critical issues to address. But what happens to workers after their
injury? What support is available to people with ABI in accessing
post-injury employment and training?

Neil Blenkiron [Secretary]  Geoff Tresize [Treasurer] work for Bear in
Mind - a self-advocacy and community education group for people living with
ABI. They discuss these and other aspects of negotiating working life with
a brain injury in a special ABI edition of the Stick Together Show. Bear in
Mind can be contacted on (03) 9639 7222.

Solar, Wind and Water Industry Plan
Alternative energy has long been seen as a key element in providing
solutions to environmental concerns such as global warming, pollution and
the threats associated with nuclear power. Today on Earth Matters we attend
the launch of the Victorian Solar, Wind and Water Industry Plan at the
offices of the Electrical Trade Union in Melbourne. The Industry Plan is a
joint venture of unions, industry and Earth Worker and seeks to move from
fossil fuel energy sources to renewables.

Leigh Hubbard, Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council begins by
outlining his commitment to the plan and how he intends to put the Trades
Hall building on to Green Power - that is, power that's sourced from
renewables.

We also hear from Dean Mighell of the Electrical Trades Union, Leigh
Snelling of Moreland City Council and Dave Kerrin from Earth Worker.

"No Jobs on a Dead Planet" Launch and Forum
Earth Workers' "No Jobs on a Dead Planet" tour included a range of events
around Melbourne culminating in a forum at Trades Hall. Speakers included
VTHC Secretary Leigh Hubbard and Greens Senator Bob Brown.

Today we hear from Green Bans activist of the 1970s Jack Mundey on the
alliances that need to be built, and Yorta Yorta woman Monica Morgan on the
challenge faced by taking in to account indigenous social justice concerns.

PART 2 Arundhati Roy - Indian author and activist
Arundhati Roy is the author of "The God of Small Things" which received 
world acclaim when it won the Booker Prize. More recently Arundhati has 
received further attention through her campaigning against the massive 
Narmada dam project in India. Today on Earth Matters we hear the final part 
of Arundhati's address to over a thousand people at La Trobe univeristy in 
Melbourne.

Arundhati begins by outlining some of the statistics and data which come 
out of the bureaucracy that is behind the project. As she says, "the 
statistical bedrock on which this project sits is faulty". She also 
outlines how the "benefits" of the project are highly exaggerated and often 
put up as been of direct benefit to the poor - the very people who are 
people displaced.

OUT: "not been able to rehabilitate."
DUR: 7'45

Changing the river with dams has seen massive deposits of silt, forcing 
women to walk miles to collect water, and small boats to get caught in 
circular currents. Whole villages are submerged with some promises of 
"project affected people" (PAPS!) being relocated - often this leads to 
people being separated, communities broken up and totally inappropriate 
"rehabilitation" being implemented.
IN: "Even though the dam is nowhere near its"
OUT: "the land for absentee landlords."
DUR: 8'15

Resettled people are often set up in tin shacks for years on end, while 
they're told that it's only temporary. The people's fight to save their 
river systems and protect their lives has seen whole communities standing 
for hours in their homes as water rises. Finally Arundhati states that this 
is a fight that must be won, and she hopes that people aware of the 
situation will take action.
IN: "There's another category"
OUT: "so be there. Thank you."

Higher Education attacks
Staff  students within the Higher Education Sector are joining forces to
resist what they say is an attempt by the Federal Education Minister -
David Kemp - to pit them against each other in the issue of deregulation of
tertiary education. Carolyn Allport [NTEU National President] discusses
what she sees as the government's agenda in this debate.

Asbestos
The issues of the handling and disposal of asbestos within the building and
construction industry is back on the agenda with union OHS officials
fearing the probability of a "3rd wave" of asbestos-related diseases as a
result of breaches of work practices guidelines and agreements currently
being reported. Pat Preston [CFMEU Environmental  OHS Unit Manager.

Non-unionised workers
A new publication entitled "People and Work" aims to educate and inform
non-unionised and unrepresented workers in their basic industrial rights
and entitlements. In a climate of rapid deregulation and casualisation of
the workforce, ignorance of basic worker's rights and confusion about
changes to the industrial relations system under the Reith/Howard
government is rife, according to co-author of the booklet and JobWatch
community worker - James McKenzie.

Charhogla - an eco-village in Bangladesh
Situated around 40 kilometres south-east of the capital Dhaka, Charhogla is
an eco-village project that began just three years ago. Today on Earth
Matters we visit the village with executive director of the Environment and
Social Development Organisation (ESDO), Hossain Shariar.

Shariar begins by giving us some background on the Bangladeshi
non-government organisation ESDO, which has also campaigned heavily
throughout Bangladesh against the use of plastic bags. We hear how plastic
bags clog the city after floods, causing stagnant water which people
(especially children) drown in and which also spreads disease. After the
floods of 1988, Dhaka remained under water for 58 days and some 25,000
children died during and after. Shariar then outlines the details of what
ESDO is trying to do at Charhogla, including organic farming, wildlife
conservation, a plastic bag free environment and micro credit schemes for
the rural women.
IN: "I'm Hossain Shariar"
OUT: "out of 3,800."
DUR: 7'52
One woman directly involved in the eco-village project is Aklima Bagum. She
owns a small shop which has a strict rule of having no plastic bags. ESDO
has supported her in establishing the shop and helping her to have economic
autonomy. With the help of Afsana Bintay Amin, program associate with ESDO,
we speak to Aklima about her shop, family and challenges.
IN:"Before she"
OUT: "of this region."
DUR: 6'45
We then return to Hossain Shariar for some more details about the project
at Charhogla, who's supporting it and his ideas about solar power and
biogas. Shariar also stresses the need for ongoing and more extensive
support from overdeveloped nations.
IN: "About the"
OUT: "positive way and manner."
DUR: 7'50

Arsenic contaminated groundwater in Bangladesh

Today on Earth Matters we visit the village of Nillkhanda (sp?) in
Bangladesh to discuss and explore the issue of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic
is found in the groundwater of around 65% of Bangladesh and it currently
threatens the health of some 70 million people throughout Bangladesh.

Arsenic is believed to be naturally occurring in the earth's crust
throughout Bangladesh, yet with the massive use of groundwater some of the
underground rock has been exposed to oxygen. For arsenic, oxidisation means
that it becomes water soluble. Arsenic is toxic and carcinogenic, and
already 7000 people have been diagnosed with arsenic poisoning and an
unknown number have died.

Just last week Earth Matters spoke with Dr Hasina Momotaj, Research Officer
with the Arsenic Project, Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
on a visit to an affected village. Today we join Dr Hasina at Nillkhanda
where she describes the present situation. It is through tube wells that
the people access the groundwater, and at Nillkhanda only one tube well out
of 42 is arsenic free.

We also hear from a 4 year old girl suffering some of the symptoms of
arsenic poisoning, and from an older man who also tells us about the range
of people who consistently come and try and sell him cures and remedies.

Dr Helen Caldicott on Ecology and the Human Spirit

Today on Earth Matters we hear excerpts from an address by Dr Helen
Caldicott to an audience in Oregon, in the United States. Helen is a world
renowned environmental activist, founding President of Physicians for
Social Responsibility and author of many books, including "Nuclear Madness"
and "If you love this Planet".

Helen speaks out on multinationals ruling the world, the fundamental
problems of the consumerist society and the arrival of genetically
engineered food and farming. She also talks about her personal passion and
commitment to a safer future, and how surely all of humanity cares about
the planet their children will inherit and will therfore act in its best
interests.

We also hear readings from an article in the Los Angeles Times last year by
Helen on America's nuclear dealings with China - it's push for more nuclear
technology as the answer to global warming and the US nuclear industry's
encroachment into countries such as China and Indonesia.

Three excerpts from Helen courtesy of Alternative Radio @ 5-6" each,
interspersed by two readings from the LA Times article @ 1" and 2" and music.

Dita Sari in Australia
Dita Sari is an Indonesian trade union leader  workers' rights activists
who has spent the last 3 years in prison for the "crime" of being a union
organiser. Originally sentenced to 5 years jail under the Suharo
government, for her part in organising the 1996 strike which saw 20,000
factory workers take to the streets to protest better conditions, she was
granted clemency on July 5th of this year after intense international and
internal pressure on the Habibbi government.

In Australia recently on a 2 week speaking tour, Dita addressed a number of
public forums, worksite and union meetings, and spoke at anti-Reith
legislation rallies in Perth, Adelaide  Melbourne. 3CR's Pier Moro went
along to a press conference held in Melbourne during her visit and produced
this week's program in which Dita talks about her time in prison and the
need for support from Australian unions for workers in Indonesia and for
independence in East Timor.

Greenhouse gas emissions trading
The Greenhouse Effect is a natural occurrence that is currently being
exacerbated by human activity. The predicted results include an increase in
sea levels of 15-95 centimetres and a warming of the earth that could see
the Great Barrier Reef die out in 30 years. In 1997 the Kyoto Climate
Change conference in Japan tried to address the massive global problem by
creating the Kyoto Protocol. Its aims were to wind back global greenhouse
gas emissions by creating reduction targets for each country. Australia
managed to achieve an overall increase of some 8%.

Today 3CR's Marion MacGregor explores the ways governments and companies
are seeking to make the most of the situation, including a profit, out of
any proposed reductions in overall greehnouse gas emissions. One way is
making carbon credits a commodity on the national and international trading
markets.

On the show we hear firstly from David Harrison, senior advisor, Australian
Greenhouse Office, on how carbon credits will become a tradable commodity.
Col Sutherland, from Eddisson Mission Energy, joins Earth Matters to
discuss his company's involvement in setting up tree plantations to offset
the carbon emissions from his brown coal industry in the La Trobe Valley in
Victoria - so called "Bush for Greenhouse".

Anna Reynolds is the  National Liaison officer with the Australian
Conservation Foundation. Anna asks whether tree planting really is an
effective way to offset the pollution caused by burning coal? Together with
Erwin Jackson, from Greenpeace, they also question the appropriateness of
dealing with the Greenhouse Effect in this way rather than addressing how
we can move to renewable energy and stop our dependence on fossil fuels.

We also hear from Chris Mitchell from CSIRO Atmospheric Research Division,
who explains the developing national carbon credit accounting system and
just how much is known about the amount of carbon that is stored in forests.

Overworked / Unemployed: Working Time Issues and the Union Movement
This week we travel to Europe and back to Australia agtain for a look at
working time issues. Most of us lucky enough to have a job are working more
hours, with more unpaid overtime, and lesser leave entitlements than ever
before. Meanwhile, thousands of unemployed workers are struggling to get
their hands on a few hours work. How can unions address working time issues
in the face of unemployment, causalisation, the growth of contracts and
work overload? And is the 35 hour week the answer?

We speak to Giuseppe Frajertag, and academic with the European Trade Union
Institute, and John Cleary, Victorian State Organiser with the Electrical
Trades Union.

Wongungarra Protected in the Victorian Alpine National Park
There's no doubt that the Regional Forest Agreement process has been the
focus of much ongoing concern with regard to the outcomes in actual forest
conservation. While the whole process continues to be criticised, there was
a recent win in Victoria's north-east.

Wongungarra is a region deemed the "last remaining wilderness area in
Victoria", and with the recent signing of the Regional Forest Agreement for
Victoria's north-east it has been encorporated into the state's Alpine
National Park. Today on Earth Matters, 3CR's Melanie Iona speaks to the
Wilderness Society's Gavan McFadzean about the recent decision.

Crop and Seed Patenting
Patenting is the system by which people or companies make sure that they
gain the maximum profits for their idea or so-called "discovered" plant or
organism. Taking out a patent or copyright is an increasing practice as the
knowledge economy grows and corporations seek to own knowledge. Recently
Kate Raworth, an economist and co-author of this year's United Nations
Human Development Report, spoke to UN Radio in New York about her
particular concerns regarding the expanding business of patenting.

Australia's Seed Savers' Network Annual Conference
The Seed Savers' Network is an Australian gorup that seeks to positively
challenge the notions of seed ownership by companies or corporations. Today
we hear from Jude Fanton, Director of the Network, about the aims and
origins of Seed Savers, and about their up and coming annual conference to
be held in Byron Bay in late October.

DR VANDANA SHIVA
Monsanto Quit India and Freedom Week
August the 9th, 1999, was the first anniversary of Monsanto Quit India day
- a day aimed at protesting against the activities of the multinational
company Monsanto in India. Monsanto is currently involved in trials of
genetically engineered crops, the patenting of plant species and strains,
and the "pirating" of indigenous food and food knowledge.

Today on Earth Matters we speak to Dr Vandana Shiva in New Delhi. Dr Shiva
is the Director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and
Ecology in India and is involved both in non-violent direct action against
genetically engineered foods and governmental legislating on the crops and
foods of companies such as Monsanto.

Melbourne Support Action for Monsanto Quit India
First up on Earth Matters we hear a piece produced by 3CR's Marion McGregor
outside the Melbourne headquarters of Monsanto. A small group of women
rallied in Melbourne in support of Monsanto Quit India day as part of the
Global Sisterhood Network.

Fristly we hear from Lynette Dumble, International Coordinator of the GSN

[3CR Staff Email]

the Stick Together Show
week beginning: 16/8/99
Duration:   27'
Starts: With Theme
Ends:   As per usual with outro  theme

--
National community radio's weekly look at the stories, the struggles, and

Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the assistance of the
Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the program, see end
of page.


Work  sex tourism in the Phillipines - Sex workers around the world face
exploitation, poor working conditions,  a lack of legal  other
protections. One of the most notorious sex industries is the sex tourism
market, where men from countries such as Australia travel to the
Phillipines, Thailand  many other destinations in search of the ultimate
sexual experience. With them they take their own swag of cultural myths 
racist stereotypes about the women they seek out.

Cecilia Hofmann [Coordinator of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women
- Asia Pacific]  Melvi Gelacio [Coordinator of BUKAL - an organisation
working with women in street prostitution in metro Manilla] talk about the
reality of prostitution for women working in the sex tourism industry in
the Phillipines.

[This program was produced  first broadcast in 1998 during a tour of
Australia by Cecilia  Melvi. A number of changes have taken place in the
Phillipines since then but the issues spoken about in this interview remain
equally as important today.]

Oakdale Miners
The struggle of workers from the Oakdale mine in NSW was the focus of a
24-hour strike by coal miners around the country last Friday, after talks
between the CFMEU  3 government ministers broke down earlier in the week.
At stake is the $6.3 million of entitlements owed to the miners after their
mine closed down in May of this year. And at issue is the question of who's
responsible for corporate closures which leave workers without their legal
and hard-earned entitlements. Trevor Williams [ex-worker  CFMEU branch
representative] explains how things are going for the Oakdale miners 
their community.

SA Nurses "Work-in"
SA nurses at the Flinders Medical Centre were last week engaged in an
interesting and seemingly quite effective style of industrial action, in
response to massive cuts to public health in SA  threatened bed closures
at their hospital. Refusing to discharge patients or close beds, they
staged a "work-in" which gained the support of doctors, health services
staff and the general public according to Gayle Gago [State Secretary, ANF]

"Just Say No!"
Workers  community activists around the country staged mass rallies last
week at the beginning of a 3 week campaign protesting against the Reith 2nd
Wave ammendments to the Workplace Relations Act  calling for the Democrats
to "just say no". Kicking off in WA on Tuesday 10, similar rallies are
planned for all states  regional centres leading up to the August 26
finale in Canberra. Chris White [SAUTLC]  Lynne Fitzgerald [TasTLC]
explain what their respective states are doing as part of this campaign.

Overseas companies targeted for their importing of Australian timber
products and their investment in Australian logging practices

On Earth Matters today we hear from Tim Cadman of the Native Forest Network
in Tasmania about his recent trip to North America. Firstly Tim tells us
about his visit to see Julia Butterfly Hill (people may remember hearing
Julia on Earth Matters some months back!) who has been in a tree sit in a
huge Redwood for well over 500 days now in northern California.

Tim's trip also focused on his ongoing work to stop unsustainable native
forest logging practices. Tim outlines the increasing number of countries
and companies that are refusing Australian timber products, especially
those sourced from the southern forests of Western Australia. Tim has also
been targeting companies investing in Australian native forest logging such
as GMO Resources' investment in Tasmania and Hancock Resources in Victoria.

Ecopoli - ACF's mass letter lobbying of politicians

It's said that 1 letter to a politician represents 100 voters in the mind
of receiver. Consequently letter writer is seen as a necessary and
effective lobbying tool. The Australian Conservation Foundation has a
network of organised information kits and letter writing directions as part
of its "Ecopoli" initiative. Today we hear from Kellee Nolan from the ACF
about the campaign, and the most recent "Ecopoli" on the radioactive waste
dump proposal in South Australia.

WOMEN AND THE WORKING CLASS UNDER NEW BRITAIN

In Australia last week, as a guest of Emily's List and the Search
Foundation, BEATRIX CAMPBELL spoke on the issues facing women in "New
Britain" under the Blair Labor Government.

Feminist, journalist and activist - Bea also has a number of books to her
credit, including "Iron Ladies: Why Do Women Vote Tory", "Diana,  Princess
of Wales: How Sexual Politics Shook the Monarchy", "Goliath: Britain's
Dangerous Places" [on the 1990s riots in UK] and "Return to Wigan Pier"
[which traces George Orwell's classic work of a similar name and documents
the struggles of working class Britain under the Thatcher years.]
Currently she is working on a new book, which looks at the rising backlash
against evidence given by survivors of child sexual abuse.

On today's edition of the Stick Together show, we bring you an extended
interview with Beatrix Campbell recorded during her most recent Australian
visit.

Thanks to the Search Foundation's Carmel Shute for assistance in making
this interview possible.

THIS IS A REPEAT PROGRAM FROM LAST MARCH
PART 1 The air we breathe - exploring air pollution issues in the city of
Melbourne

Today on Earth Matters we begin the first in a 2-part series exploring air
pollution issues in the city of Melbourne. Air pollution in cities right
around the world is recognised as a very serious health concern - and
vehicles are the main contributors. While some Australian cities are
working on reducing traffic levels, others are undertaking massive road
building exercises. A couple of years ago the well respected journal "New
Scientist" acknowledged that emissions from diesel vehicles may be the most
carcinogenic chemicals ever discovered.

On Earth Matters this week we hear from Bronwen Machin, air pollution
campaigner with Environment Victoria, about just what constitutes "air
pollution". We also speak with Chairman of the Environment Protection
Authority (EPA) in Melbourne as to how pollution is monitored and just what
the EPA is doing about it.

Health concerns from air pollution are many and varied. Fine particulates,
especially from diesel vehicles, are extremely dangerous - exacerbating
both lung and heart disease amongst other things. Today John McPherson,
Vice President of the Public Transport Users Association, and  also Ruth
Clemens from RACOF - Richmond Action Coalition on Freeways - join in the
discussion about the wide ranging problems surrounding air pollution, it's
monitoring and management.

PART 2 The air we breathe - exploring air pollution issues in the city of
Melbourne

In the second part of our series exploring air pollution issues in the city
of Melbourne, today we take a closer look a Melbourne's massive road
building ventures.

The City Link project involves the construction of some 22 kilometres of
freeway, including 2 tunnels. Of particular focus, is the so-called Burnley
Tunnel, which will emit its exhaust from one solitary tunnel in Richmond.

Ruth Clemens of the Richmond Action Coalition on Freeways - or RACOF! -
joins us today on Earth Matters to explain the particular concerns about
the tunnel and its pollution emission and why Richmond residents feel
frightened and abandoned by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

We also hear from Public Transport User's Association Vice President, John
McPherson, and Brian Robinson, Chairman of the EPA, on how the authority is
attempting to fulfill its brief of "restoring" Melbourne's air quality.

Finally today we hear from Bronwen Machin of Environment Victoria on the
many and varied things that individuals can do, and from John about how the
ruling elite have such an obsession with the automobile.

Kakadu Not "IN DANGER"??

On Monday July 12th the 23rd session of the Bureau of the World Heritage
Committee met in Paris and declined to list Kakadu "in danger".
Environmentalists and the Traditional Owners of Jabiluka, the Mirrar
people, attended the gathering to request that Kakadu be listed due to the
potential threat posed by the Jabiluka uranium mine.

It was a request supported by some of the most eminent scientific bodies in
the world, and required the vote of at least 15 of the 21 member states of
the World Heritage Committee. That Kakadu wasn't listed is not only of
great concern to the Mirrar traditional owners whose land and lives are
threatened, but also for the integrity of the World Heritage Convention -
the highest international body supposedly protecting cultural and natural
values around the world.

Today on Earth Matters we hear from both Ben Oquist of the Australian
Greens and Dave Sweeney of the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF)
speaking form Paris. We also speak with Executive Director of the ACF, Don
Henry, about just what the World Heritage "in danger" criteria are, what
the 3 World Heritage advisory bodies did and why they made the
recommendations to list Kakadu as in danger.

Throughout the discussions we also canvass some of the concerns surrounding
the whole ordeal including the bullying tactics of the Australian
Government and the future integrity of the World Heritage Committee.

JABILUKA - On Monday of this week, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee made
a decision not to place Kakadu National Park  on the World "In Danger"
Heritage list, in effect giving the go-ahead to ERA's Jabiluka uranium
mine. As traditional owners of the area and their supporters consider the
next step in their campaign against the mine, the Stick Together Show
revisits the background to the proposal to mine uranium in one of
Australia's finest national parks. In a report produced for the Stick
Together Show last year, we look at the issues Jabiluka poses for
traditional owners and for country in Kakadu and wide-spread  concerns
about government policy  management of the uranium mining industry in this
country, including the implications for workers' occupational health 
safety within this industry?

Speakers include:

YVONNE MARGARULA - traditional owner  representative of the Mirrar,
on
whose land the proposed Jabiluka mine issituated.
JACQUIE KATONA -spokesperson for the Gundjehmi Aboriginal
Corporation
which represents the Mirrar

Building international environmental alliances

Building international alliances to effect environmental change worldwide
is essential in combatting the global nature of big nusiness and
multinationals. So believes Cam Walker of Friends of the Earth and today we
hear from Cam in his address to an Earth Worker forum held earlier this
year at Trades Hall in Melbourne.

Cam speaks about the differences among the social change movements but
highlights how their common ground broad and encompassing. He also
discusses the prospects of green and union alliances.

Pangea - still hoping for an international radioactive waste dump in Australia

Back in December of last year a video promoting Australia as the prime
location for an international radioactive waste dump outraged
environmentalists and anti-nuclear activists. The public and prominent
politicians followed suit in condemning the proposal but the company nor
the radioactive waste problem have gone away.

There are 3 proposed sites for the international radioactive waste dump and
recently anti-nuclear activist, Dave Sweeney, visited one in out back
Western Australia. Today we hear from Dave about the area and the ongoing
Pangea proposal.

The Stick Together Show
Week beginning: 10/5/99
Duration:   27'
Starts: Theme as per usual

-
National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial  workplace
justice. 
The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the
assistance of the Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the
program, see end of page.


Workplace Diversity - Workplace diversity is a new government initiative
which aims to raise awareness within the public sector of the importance of
an understanding of diversity  acceptance of difference among workers.
But, as Maria Dimopoulos [Workplace Diversity Trainer  Facilitator]
explains, the concept has been around much longer than this current
government's initiative. We also talk to Jeannette Large [Coordinator,
Women's Housing Outreach  Support Service] about what the practicalities
are of trying to apply the concept of workplace diversity in a concrete
workplace context.

Meat workers - Peter Reith has made no secret of his aim to decrease 'union
influence' of 4 key unions. A lot of attention has been placed on the CFMEU
 MUA but what of the others. One of these is the meat industry, already
suffering from the export of jobs via live stock exports. Tom Hannan [Fed.
Sec. AMIEU] explains the situation meat workers are in in 1999.

Boycott Barcadi - Joan Coxsedge [Australia-Cuba Friendship Society]
explains why Barcadi's latest marketting of its 'Cubano' rum exploits a
false identity of the company as Cuban  reveals this multinational's role
in the region  in supporting the USA's economic  political blockade of
Cuba, since the revolution in 1959. In particular, she discusses recent
efforts by the US to entrench  extend this blockade through the
Helms-Burton law  additions to it.

INTRO : RADOJE LAUSEVIC : "The Serbian Ecological =85"
OUTRO : "... see you later."
DURATION : 25'00" (frogs til around 26'00)

The environmental consequences of NATO bombings in Yugoslavia Today on
Earth Matters we're joined on the phone by Radoje Lausevic - Secretary of
the Serbian Ecological Society in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Radoje speaks about
the very serious environmental problems facing his region as a result of
NATO attacks.

Radoje begins our discussion by outlining what the Serbian Ecological
Society does and also by describing the natural elements of the region. We
learn that Yugoslavia is recognised internationally as being a region of
high biodiversity and and is home to one of Europe's largest rivers, the
Danube.

A range of environmental concerns are addressed, including the acute air
pollution issues facing the region due to the consistent and wide spread
bombing of chemical facilities. We also touch on the effects of jets and
chemcial fumes on the ozone layer and on global warming. Radoje speaks
about the use of Depleted Uranium in the weapons of the USA and NATO, and
the devastating effects they can have on human health and the environment.
Groundwater pollution issues are addressed and Radoje speaks about the
problems associated with gathering data about the extent of the pollution
problems and how official data is being withheld due to fears of creating
further mass panic.

Finally Radoje outlines the plea he and his organisation have for the rest
of the world in asking them to consider the severe and lasting
environmental consequences of NATO's attacks and to immediately seek a
peaceful solution.

STOP THE ROT
A report entitled "Stop the Rot: Women Stand their Ground" was recently
launched in Melbourne. Documenting women's experience of workplace changes
under the Workplace Relations Act, the report spoke to a wide range of women
both in and out of unions. ELLEN KLEIMAKER [Women's  Equity Officer for the
Victorian Trades Hall Council] explains the report's findings.

PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION 
Since 1994, discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy has been unlawful.
Yet both federal  state anti-discrimination agencies continue to receive
large numbers of complaints each year of just such activities. DIANE SISLEY
[Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission Chief Executive]  OONAGH BARRON
[Jobwatch] speak about this issue in a report compiled by 3CR's Marion McGregor.

IT MOVE BAD FOR TEACHERS
Victorian teachers may be forced to access their pay details via the

Wider Repercussion of Big Business Threatening Legal Action against Green Groups

Last week on Earth Matters we heard from both Alan Gray from Earth Garden
and Robert Bain from the National Association of Forest Industries (NAFI)
about why a timber guide was being threatened with censorship.

Today we hear from environmental journalist Bob Burton about the history in
Australia of companies and industry groups threatening legal action against
environment groups. Taking the current example - namely the threat of legal
action by NAFI against the Earth Garden publication "Forest Friendly
Building Timbers" - we explore some potential repercussions and also compare
the situation with the existence of SLAPPS  (Strategic Lawsuits Against
Public Participation) in the USA.

Road Trip to spread the work on the Radioactive Waste Dump

Recently a gorup of anti-nuclear activists travelled from  Melbourne to
South Australia to speak with locals about the proposed national repository
- or radioactive waste dump.

The dump is planned for the Billa Kalina region - an area the size of
Tasmania - in northwest South Australia. Today we're joinged by two
activists who attended the trip - Emma Tucker and Indira Narayan from the
Billan Kalina Alliance to describe the trip and the campaign.

Regional Forests Agreement Bill and the effects of RFA exclusion on the
Victorian Box-Ironbark forests.
Today on Earth Matters we hear from Greens Senator Bob Brown on the Regional
Forests Agreement Bill which is currently before the Federal Senate. While
the Greens intend to reject the Bill when it comes to voting they are also
seeking to amend the Bill to address some of its key flaws. 

With the numbers in the Senate the Bill looks set to get through with the
support of the ALP. And as we'll hear from Bob, the Bill - like the
Agreements - will make conflict over forest conservation ongoing and lay the
path open for compensation claims from multinational wood chippers.

While the RFA process is seen as a debacle for the wet forests of Australia,
the process could have ensured adequate protection for some of the dry
forests. However, as we'll hear from Victorian National Parks Association
campaigner, Charlie Sherwin, the dry Box-Ironbark forests of Victoria have
been excluded from the process. Charlie believes that this could have
catastrpohic repercussions for the Box-Ironbark forests and the threatened
species that rely on them and is an indication of the problems associated
with the entire RFA process.

Exxon's workings around the world
As we heard last week, late March marked the 10 year anniversary of the
Exxon Valdez oil spill in north America. Today Cam Walker joins us again to
provide some details on the workings of Exxon which has now merged with Mobil. 

We hear about Exxon's involvement in the Global Climate Coalition - an
industry front group working hard to debunk the science and concern
surrounding human induced global warming. Cam also fills us in on just some
of the operations that Friends of the Earth uncovered in their Exxon Files.

PART 1 The air we breathe - exploring air pollution issues in the city of
Melbourne

Today on Earth Matters we begin the first in a 2-part series exploring air
pollution issues in the city of Melbourne. Air pollution in cities right
around the world is recognised as a very serious health concern - and
vehicles are the main contributors. While some Australian cities are working
on reducing traffic levels, others are undertaking massive road building
exercises. A couple of years ago the well respected journal "New Scientist"
acknowledged that emissions from diesel vehicles may be the most
carcinogenic chemicals ever discovered.

On Earth Matters this week we hear from Bronwen Machin, air pollution
campaigner with Environment Victoria, about just what constitutes "air
pollution". We also speak with Chairman of the Environment Protection
Authority (EPA) in Melbourne as to how pollution is monitored and just what
the EPA is doing about it.

Health concerns from air pollution are many and varied. Fine particulates,
especially from diesel vehicles, are extremely dangerous - exacerbating both
lung and heart disease amongst other things. Today John McPherson, Vice
President of the Public Transport Users Association, and  also Ruth Clemens
from RACOF - Richmond Action Coalition on Freeways - join in the discussion
about the wide ranging problems surrounding air pollution, it's monitoring
and management.
