On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with Dave Sweeney from the Australian Conservation Foundation to break down what Australia’s new nuclear submarine deal means for the future of the Australian energy sector, Australia's relationship with its Pacific neighbours and with other global powers.
Then, journalist George Megalogenis discusses Victoria’s roadmap out of lockdown, vaccination targets – and the consequences of getting it wrong. Megalogenis touches on the state of the federations, in light of apparent disparity in economic conditions and vaccine distribution.
And Farmers for Climate Action member, Alisdair Tulloch, calls in to talk about how the Australian agricultural sector could hit net zero emissions by 2040, and what support is needed to achieve this target.
