Paradigm Shift 4ZZZ fm 102.1 Fridays at Noon 4 July 2019.
Interviews with Moira Williams (Stop Adani) and Carl Jackson (Students for Climate Justice and Socialist Alternative).
Stop Adani has become a mass movement but where is it headed? How is the campaign addressing the underlying issue of climate change?
Only this week reports were claiming the Stop Adani movement is a campaign of civil disobedience of greater size than the anti-uranium movement. This is incorrect, there is some civil disobedience in the Stop Adani movement and numbers attending marches are smaller even though population has nearly doubled since 1977 when there were big marches against Uranium mining and export around Australia.
The democratic rights campaign in Qld engaged a wider selection of the community, including workers and their unions than any movement since. It brought in a large section of the environment movement because one of its demands was to stop the mining and export of uranium. In Brisbane Friends of the Earth engaged directly with Railway union members and the Waterside Workers Federation (WWF) to obtain information about Uranium trains and the WWF went out on strike when Uranium trains came to Brisbane. These interviews seek to make comparisons and to better understand where the campaign for Climate Justice is going.
