Today’s show is the first of two exploring fracking, one of the more controversial elements of the government’s ‘gas-led’ future roadmap. We hear from climate scientist and policy expert Dr Bill Hare, on why fracking poses a serious risk to our climate, and from Dr Monique Ryan, independent Member of Parliament for Kooyong and outspoken opponent of fracking. This episode was produced in collaboration with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition’s From Us, For Us project, and the interviews were conducted by participant Ivy Sheng. As a high school student, Ivy speaks speaks from a challenging and underrepresented position: that of a young person inheriting a world in crisis.Image credit: Ivy, Miles and Jazmin (From Us, For Us). Earth Matters #1494 was produced by Mia Audrey on the lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).
