Greens' Success in West Australian Election
Today on earth Matters we're joined by West Australia MP Giz Watson to
discuss the results of the West Australian election and the relative
success of the Greens in both gaining seats and exerting influence via
preferences. We also look forward to the short-term goals of the Greens on
seeing through ALP promises as far as logging of native old-growth goes.=20
Media Advisor for the Greens, Ben Oquist, then joins us to give a critical
analysis of the media's coverage of the Greens' success as opposed to their
focus on One Nation and Pauline Hanson. Ben also contemplates the voter
impact that such publicity can have in the lead up to other state and
federal elections.
IN: "So firstly Giz =85"
OUT: " =85 as soon as possible."
DUR: approx. 12 minutes
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.
IN: "Actually =85"
OUT: " =85 cleansing technology put in."
DUR: approx. 11'30"
