On this episode of The Grapevine, Heidi Lee, project lead for Beyond Zero Emissions’ ‘One Million Jobs Plan’ initiative gets on the line to discuss how job creation and industry modernisation can lead Australia out of a post-covid economy and into a carbon free future.
And following an interview by local musician Remi with Flemington Towers resident Najat Mussa, Executive Officer at Flemington and Kensington Community Legal Centre & The Police Accountability Project, Anthony Kelly, explains the importance of an immediate recall of police officers sent in to enforce the initial ‘hard lockdown’, and a redesign to future emergency covid responses.
Then Professor Dennis Altman from La Trobe University calls in to chat with Dylan and Kulja about his piece in The Conversation, ‘Watching Hamilton Today - musical Drama can be radical, just don’t believe all the hype’ about how relevant the production is to an Australian audience in the wake of Black Lives Matter movements worldwide.
