On the show with AJ:

7:15 Victoria from Environment Victoria fills us in on Abbott's climate plan sham. Earlier this month, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott revealed his so-called 'Climate Plan,' which would allow transnational polluters to increase their emissions and would not cap Australia's carbon emission levels. Meanwhile, environment groups have welcomed changes to the Government's renewable energy target. Victoria discusses all the latest on both of these issues. (Interview by AJ)

7:30 Michael Hocking from Taxed Out! celebrates a Victory for grassroots campaigners. Last week, Coalition MPs joined the Greens in voting down the Brumby Government's plans for the GAIC plans, which would have seen Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundaries expanded, with small farm owners and market gardeners on the city's fringe taxed off their land and forced to sell to developers. The vote came after a strong campaign by residents and community groups. Michael discusses how the campaign was won. (Interview by AJ)

7:45 Lotti Stein from Wayward Girls, Wicked Women presents Why 3CR Matters. Following our subscriber drive, it's important to remember this history of 3CR, and why it continues to serve such a very important role in our community.

8:15 Greg Barber, the Greens' Northern Metropolitan MLC, Calls for an Inquiry into Madden. Last week, a document leaked from the office of State Planning Minister Justin Madden's office, which revealed a bizzare, Orwellian plan to hold a sham consultation into the redevelopment of the Windsor Hotel, and then using community outrage as a pretext to reject the plan, in order to make it look like the State Government is listening to community concerns. Making matters worse, when the plan was revealed, the Minister blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer. (Interview by AJ)
