Kulja Coulston flies solo on this week's edition of the grapevine, chatting with Market Forces' Asset Management campaigner, Will Van De Pol about how companies like Rio Tinto have come under pressure for their “lackluster approach” to matching their business strategies with the Paris Climate Agreement’s emission reduction goal.
Also on the line, the CEO of VACCA, Professor Muriel Bamblett, explains how First Nations and Aboriginal communites are coping with the on-going challenges of the pandemic and the effectiveness of the Commonwealth’s National Redress Scheme to provide reparations to stolen generation survivors of institutional child sex abuse.
Then Michael Simic, aka Mikelangelo, digs deep into his live stream series, The Maneki Sessions, a collaboration between Infidel Studios, The Noise Floor, and Foundation Media. Simic believes live streaming music may be here to stay, and The Maneki Sessions is an experiment in a different approach to live performance.
