Richard Weatherby spoke with Sonia about climate related financial disclosure. On 12th January, the treasurey made available for comment some proposed amendments to legislation governing climate related financial disclosure which sounds dull as dishwater, but which could have real implications for our ability to hold corporate Australia to account.

 

We hear an interview between Annie Mcloughlinof 3CR's Solidarity Breakfast and Greta Carol from OCEAN. They mention some of the groups and people who are fighting to block seismic testing in the Otway basin, and the consequences for ecosystems and the environment if it goes ahead. Solidarity Breakfast broadacsts on Saturdays 7.30 - 9am.
