Pulp mill follow-up
19/12/2007
Yesterday we spoke with Paul Oosting, a pulp mill campaigner for the Wilderness Society. He was then getting ready to address the ANZ Bank AGM in Perth. The Wilderness Society, along with other environmental protesters, went to the meeting to urge ANZ not to fund Gunns Limited's planned pulp mill in Tasmania's Tamar valley. It is highly unusual for a protest group like this to be invited into a big bank's AGM to put its case to the board and shareholders. Breakfast caught up with him this morning to see how it went.
Greens energy report
24/04/2007
How well is the Australian economy placed to cope with the twin shocks of a carbon-constrained world and the end of cheap oil?
They're questions that increasingly haunted Greens Senator Christine Milne. She was eventually provoked into writing and editing a new report on Australia's energy future.
The report, Re-Energising Australia, is released later today.
Senator Milne joins Breakfast in our Canberra studio, together with Tim Colebatch, economics editor of The Age newspaper, to discuss the report.
Guilty travel
19/04/2007
Guilty travel is no longer about blowing your cash on five star hotels and restaurants.
Now it's about the guilt of flying long distance and the impact one's travels could have on climate change.
The tourism industry here, and in New Zealand, is seriously worried that it is vulnerable to the impacts of global warming.
Today the managing director of the Australian Tourism Export Council will deliver a major speech on this issue.
Matt Hingerty joins Breakfast from Tweed Heads.
