Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show! 

 

Todays show:

- A conversation with fire behaviour scientist Phil Zylstra. Two weeks ago Zylstra was a signatory among other scientists and researchers with GECO, Goongerah Environment Centre, calling to stop Planned burns in the Snowy River National Park. We chat about the impacts of Vic Forest Fire Management's prescribed burns on wet forests and the consequences they will have in the future.

 

- Over the weekend many people across this continent gathered to commemorate the ANZACs' involvement in World War One. Research published by the War Studies Group at the University of NSW Canberra last year shows that while 90% of people believe in the importance of ANZAC Day, yet just over half of people on this continent actually engage in ANZAC Day Services. We are now going to play an excerpt from the People's History of Australia podcast in which host Christian speaks with Robert Bollard, author of 'In The Shadow Of Gallipoli' about how the ANZAC myth is perpetuated, and the state's attempts to paint the antiwar movement as unpatriotic as a means of justifying repression.
