On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with author, journalist and research, Dr Suelette Dreyfus to discuss the newly released feature by Yahoo!News outlining a CIA plot to capture or assassinate Julian Assange. Assange is still being detained in London waiting to see if he will be extradited to the US to face charges of espionage.
Then, Cam Walker, campaigns director Friends of the Earth calls in to discuss Australia’s climate policy considering the upcoming COP26 climate talks, whether Scott Morrison will even turn up and the likelihood of the Coalition signing on for net-zero emissions by 2050.
And Jack Latimore, The Age’s new Indigenous Affairs journalist breaks down his role at the masthead, the difference between writing for Blak media and mainstream media, and the experience of reporting on First Nations issues in Australia.
