Our first interview is with Helen Van Den Berg who is a long-time community activist from Tullamarine. She's fighting Vic Roads on a proposal to widen the Tullamarine Freeway by taking away the emergency lanes. She also continues to campaign around the environmental standards and safety of Tullamarine toxic waste dump.

Next we talk to Peter Yacono about his documentary 'Our Power' about the disastrous brown coal fire at Morwell power plant. The documentary is almost finished and strongly advocates for methods of power generation and employment options for the Latrobe Valley.
