This is Episode 3 of Greatest Moral Podcast of Our Generation.This week we have two incredible voices.Yessie Mosby is part of the ‘Torres Strait 8', a group of Torres Strait islanders who are taking the Australian Government to the UN Human Rights Council for their lack of climate action. Which, as you can imagine if you live in the Torres Strait, is quite the existential problem. And I also chat with Sophie Marjanac, is the lawyer driving the complaint.This is a fascinating chat. If you're like me, and live in a major city in Australia, it's easy to be dismissive of sea-level rise as something that will effect other countries, other islands. Not our country.But for those in the Torres Strait sea-level rise is ALREADY putting an entire culture, an entire race under threat. It's fitting that this podcast's schedule serendipitously lines up with NAIDOC week.Big thanks also to my Bertha Fellow colleague, Linh Do, for covering the climate news up the top of the podcast with me. YOU CAN HELP — SIGN THE PETITIONYes, it's another petition! But this one will update you on the complaint, and events that are being organised to support the case.

This month’s chat is excellent.Two very different brains leading climate conversations in their own powerful way.Osher Gunsberg (The Bachelor / Better Than Yesterday Podcast) and Mike Canon-Brookes (Atlassian / SunCable)Osher is using his celebrity to draw his broad audience to his podcast where he has meaningful conversations about climate anxiety and climate action.And Mike is using his own personal wealth and huge influence in the business community to drive innovation and wedge government into climate action.Great chat, an honour to speak with them both in the same Zoom call.Cheers,Dan IlicThe first 8minutes of the conversation sound a bit rubbish because I forgot to hit record on my Rodecaster, so we had to use the audio from the Zoom recording which isn’t as high fidelity.

Story number one, Australia joins the US China and Russia in refusing to sign our latest pledge on biodiversity. Is this any kind of surprise that we are with the US Russia and China on this lid?Linh Do 2:26Never Never surprised. But I mean, last year during the Madrid climate negotiations, we were with Saudi Arabia and given you know, everything that we're hearing about how koalas are going extinct, the billions of animals that were wiped out, unfortunately, during the recent bush fires, you think we'd care a little bit moreDan Ilic 2:43than there's a lot of similarities between Australia and Saudi right, but particularly about the way we treat our journalists,Linh Do 2:47that is definitely for alarming, but we still call ourselves a democracy. So it's a scary path that we're headed down.Dan Ilic 2:54Now. The Morison government said it refused to sign this global pledge, endorsed by 64 other countries committed to reverse biodiversity loss because it was inconsistent with Australia's policies, namely, net zero by 2050, which pretty much the rest of the world is signed up to. Australia has committed to net zero but before 2100, which is absolu

The rest of the world is aggressively moving to a carbon free future. China is set to decarbonise their economy by 2060. Next year at COP26 every country will be taking plans to go further, and ratchet up mechanisms for further emissions reductions, because the Paris agreement isn't going to cut it.Net 0 emissions by 2050 is no longer the big ambition, it's the status quo. A few countries will be going in hard to do even more. Leading, in other words.And when the world is doing this, where is that leaving Australia?Australia is the Shore School of the world.

Have aLinh Do 1:00no pressure right greatest more podcast of our time none whatsoever. I'm ready to rock and roll.Dan Ilic 1:06I actually it's actually greatest moral podcast of our generation. I myself have been calling of our time for so long. But I have went back to check the original source text and it was generation.Linh Do 1:19Well as a millennial, my generation i thought was the only one that mattered. So time generation say same for me, it doesn't matter.Dan Ilic 1:27So the second Monday of each month, we'll be bringing you long form conversations with climate leaders from all around Australia and the world. Do you want us to talk to Lynn? I mean,Linh Do 1:35it feels like such an obvious pick to say Greta tune Berg, but I'm also super keen to hear about those people that have made the decision to say leave their jobs in the oil and gas industry. Like I think that is a real sort of moral and ethical dilemma.Dan Ilic 1:49Yeah, I can imagine if I was earning six figures in the oil and gas industry, I don't think I'd have to take a second before leaving those. Now Lynne and I are going to be talking about three stories. about climate change that piqued your interest this month. Let's start off with yulian what some what's kind of caught your eye this month?Linh Do 2:06Well, one of the things that's definitely caught my eyes, it's just all the temperature sort of record setting scenarios that are happening. I got to go to Antarctica last year and remember it being over 10 degrees when I was there, we just just felt like wild for the icy wild west did this last month we've seen la record its hottest day ever. clocking in at close to 49 degrees Celsius, which, for me feels like Mad Max has returned.Dan Ilic 2:33Well, it's funny to say Mad Max at a place called stunt ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains. It got up to 50 degrees Celsius 122 degrees Fahrenheit, which is crazy. I mean, it I mean, you wouldn't even have to pretend it was hot there like it was there. I think the problem with them those kinds of temperatures in LA there are so many celebrities who can't go outside in case their faces melt away. I think that's probably the biggest problem for those people. There.Linh Do 3:00makeup and hot weather just like things that are growing together.Dan Ilic 3:04One other interesting one I saw this week that I thought was

Okay. And Scott camp says that earning $350,000 from the government for doing one appearance and full social media posts is his business. And a pretty good one Minister for employment. Kelly cash says that the government wanted Scott cam because he's just a typical tradie over quotes and under delivers, and in the wake of Corona virus related economic meltdown.

Well, we just had a great show. We had Christiaan Van Vuuren. We had Madeline Stewart. We had Louis Hobba. All in this space here at FB high radio, and we had a fantastic show. But I lost it. Yes, I pulled the hard drive out before I was meant to. And the whole show is totally gone.

So before we play, the hits, are gonna let you know we do have a Melbourne Comedy Festival show. The Tickets are on sale. Now. We're about 30% 40% sold out.

A rational fear contains naughty words like bricks cambro fan and section 40 of a rational fear recommended listening by emerge your audienceUnknown Speaker 2:00Tonight on a rational fear as the Australian Government prepares to ban cash transactions over $10,000 It leaves drug dealers with only one choice to buy and sell drugs with rolls of toilet paper instead. And the federal government has rolled out funding Australia's only dedicated bushfire Research Centre, claiming that there's no way to guarantee the prevention of bushfires in only marginal electrics. And after last year cutting $100 million from the CSI row, the federal government generously boosted their funding by 2 million to fast track a Corona virus faxing $2 million. So to put it in a way that a government minister might understand it's about the same price as a rugby clubs women's change room, wash your hands twice and don't touch your face. This is irrational fear.Unknown Speaker 2:58Like I said at the very top of the show where youUnknown Speaker 3:00We have a very short show for you tonight. First up, we spoke with journalist Asher wolf about what kinds of things people should really be stocking up on during this coronavirus pandemic. And from AJ plus MSNBC and the Young Turks, comedian Francesca Fiorentina, he gives us a taste of what young progressives are feeling like after the Joe Biden search on Super Tuesday. Also, we've got a great sample of news fighters as they wade into the petri dish. That is the corona virus. The first step it's 2020. And as well as the Patreon we also have sponsors. He's our first sponsor for irrational fear this year.Unknown Speaker 3:37Hello, I'm rupert murdoch, defender of freedom and owner of some of the world's greatest democracies.

Well actually I inherited from my dad, but that's beside the point that always used to say TV, gonna rock your mind. So I thought, that's howUnknown Speaker 4:00And I started Sky News. He also used to say radio doesn't have pictures and I thought that's perfect for ugly men with beautiful things to say. He also used to tell me you can't tear the internet into strips and wipe your ass with all he would have if he was alive fucking internet. So why not get hold of a news corp local newspaper today?

WE MADE AN AUDIO SITCOM! — It’s called Riot Act and is out today on Audible.https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Riot-Act-Audiobook/B081VGWJLG?qid=1575317103&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=H1WJX9FR94HJ36GAQR9H&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1Over the last couple of yearsMark Humphries, Evan Williams and I have been writing a sitcom set in the world of conservative talkback radio. It’s not so much a workplace comedy but a story about ambition, and politics at the extremes.With the support of Audible we made it into an 8-part sitcom for your ears (we only did the sound, the images are created by your own mind – it’s cheaper that way), beating all the odds for making long-form narrative comedy in Australia.And check out this list of incredible performers:Liv HewsonTony MartinAnjali RaoGretel KilleenRupert DegasHeather MitchellMarc FennellBridie ConnelRobbie McGregorVeronica MilsomRosie WaterlandWendy HarmerJordan RaskopoulosClarke RichardsAsh WilliamsSandra SullyHugh RimmintonHamish MacdonaldPenny GreenhalghAnthony SalameIndira NaidooBen FordhamAngela Lavoirpierre.. plus a gazillion more including Mark Humphries and Dan Ilic (Me)We had a wonderful script editor in David K. Barnes (Wooden Overcoats) and an epic restructure and rewrite from Kacie Anning (The Other Guy). We made it with the incredible audio studio Uncanny Valley under the diligent supervision of Matt Perrot who built out the complex soundscape.So this podcast, Mark Humphries, Evan Williams and I had a chat about how and why we made Riot Act – with a call to Anjali Rao and Matt Perrot for some behind the scenes context.It was a real thrill for us to make it, and a privilege to work with our heroes and friends to create something we’re very proud of.It’s free if you’re an Audible subscriber — you can get a 30day free trial if you’re not — Riot Act is only 186 minutes so, you know, plenty of time to listen to it a few times, and leave a scathing review: https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Riot-Act-Audiobook/B081VGWJLG?qid=1575317103&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=H1WJX9FR94HJ36GAQR9H&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1You can listen to Riot Act here —A Rational Fear on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFearSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to that as we go.Bridie Connell and Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd do some topical music for us. Tom Ballard tells us that it’s all over and there’s no hope left.

To make something really dumb:All info here:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-australian-pm-hotline/x/1681048#/WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?In the last 10 years, Australia has had just under 31,023 Prime Ministers. No one can remember who the current one is.So I've created a hotline, that with the power of some code, can update automatically via Wikipedia and tell us who is the Prime Minister at that given moment?It's just like the speaking clock - but for the Prime Minister of Australia.It's dumb and funny - and we've built it already! Thanks to our friends at Twilio, you can call it now.04888 54 280Try it? I'll wait.See it's great.But the NUMBER is hard to remember.1300 WHO THE F*** IS P.M?This is where you come in.I think the best 1300 number/name for this project is: 1300 WTFI PM1300 Who The F*** Is P.M. However those numbers are really EXPENSIVE. They cost $3000 a year. So to start off with we want $3000. Then if we get more, we plan to use that money to advertise the hotline.$3000: We'll buy the number/name 1300 WTFI PM|$15000: We'll make a saucy old school late night style hotline ad and run it on TV$23000: We'll book an infomercial on a morning TV show.$30000: We'll pay for a full page ad in a national broadsheet newspaper.IMPACTYou will get the satisfaction of financing some crucial Australian information infrastructure. At A Rational Fear we have a track record of making good on our crowdfunding, in 2014 we raised $50000 to make 12 weeks of satirical comedy online. Which we did to great success.REWARDS & PERKS:I honestly don't think anyone gives money to these things for the perks, but I'll tell you what, how about these?$0-$50: You will get the satisfaction of knowing your donation has helped make the world a funnier place.$50-$100: 2 free tickets to every A Rational Fear live show in 2019$100-$500: 4 free tickets to every A Rational Fear live show in 2019>$500: 2 free tickets to every A Rational Fear live show in 2019, and a guest interview spot on the A Rational Fear podcast for you to promote or say anything you want (within the boundaries of defamation).A Rational Fear on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFearSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
