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.
