Abbott government attack on FoE

Monday, 13 April 2015 - 10:30am to 11:00am

Friends of the Earth is under attack. And this is just the beginning of an ideological war by the government against all environmental groups.

On the ABC 7:30 show aired April 10, Liberal MPs Alex Hawke and Matt Canavan singled out Friends of the Earth as the first of 150 groups they would like to see lose its charitable status. This would mean donations would no longer be tax deductible.  This week, FoE Melbourne Campaign Co-ordinator Cam Walker talks about the politics and the power-brokers behind the the ideological war against ENGOs.

And we preview the recently released documentary 'Frackman', a story about one person's campaign against the juggenaut that is the coal-seam gas extraction industry.
