Radio Democracy Playlist 22/10/08

It was nice to be back in the chair after a few weeks away due to university craziness and other commitments!

Today we heard from Rob Nicholas from the Aboriginal Rights Coalition to get an update on the Lex Wotton trial. Wotton was eventually found guilty by the district court jury – Chris Graham's excellent summary of the whole affair is here. His sentence will be handed down in Townsville on the 7th of November.

We had another update on the Save the Regent campaign with Vicki Bridgstock. The 7th is also the final date for objection submissions to Brisbane City Council.

Radio Democracy also faced the truth a little with an excerpt from Dr Helen Caldicott's If You Love This Planet. Helen spoke with Richard Heinberg, author of Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century Of Declines.

Finally, we caught up with regular RD contributor Robin Taubenfeld about peace-loving and anti-nuclear activity around town in the coming weeks. First, activists will extend a warm welcome to the arms industry when it comes to Brisbane in a big way with the Land Warfare Conference. The weekend after will see an organising meeting of the Queensand Nuclear Free Alliance.
