Paradigm Shift 4ZZZ FM 102.1 24 May 2019 Friday at noon.
This week we talk about SLAPP suits - "strategic lawsuits against public participation"; when corporations sue political activists. We hear what are SLAPP suits and why are they a problem from Greg Ogle, and then the different experiences from Adam Burling who was sued by woodchipping company Gunns, Shae Anderson who was sued by McDonalds, and Sadie Jones who is currently being sued by coal freight company Aurizon.
Andy interviews activists who have been or are the subject of companies using strategic litigation against the public participation (SLaPP) suits.
