Exploring Extreme Heat Episode 3 | Hot boxes and systemic racism in remote arid Australia

Sunday, 8 November 2026 - 11:00am to 11:30am

Earth Matters heads to arid central Australia to explore the systemic structures driving hot weather impacts on remote First Nations communities: poor housing and energy affordability. We hear about power imbalances between landlords and renters, and a colonial history of  land injustice disrupting daily life today.

Guests:

Gloria Baliva and Dr Manoj Bhatta, Menzies School of Health Research

Kellie Caught, Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS)

Rebecca Jones, environmental historian
