Author, Engineer and Activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a brilliant Australian. While still a teenager, her activism earned her many accolades and praise - Young Australian Muslim of the Year and Young Queenslander of the Year. Her 2014 TED Talk ‘What does my Headscarf mean to you’ launched her into a higher orbit and brilliantly addresses unconscious bias which like it or not we all have within us. It’s well worth the watch. Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop appointed her to the Council for Australian-Arab Relations and in late 2016, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) sent Abdel-Magied, as a CAAR board member, to several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt and Sudan, to promote Australia. Her latest book "Talking about a Revolution" is out now.

Benjamin Law is an Australian journalist, author, screenwriter, activist and speaker. He shot to fame when the semi-autobiographical TV series based on his best-selling book “The Family Law” became a massive hit. Benjamin is a wonderfully smart and charming man, who brings a kind grace to the topic of a demographically changing face of Australia. When he speaks, people can be very reactionary - because the facts he speaks from can be uncomfortable to hear if you’ve never been challenged in your ways of thinking. Many people have a foregone conclusion as to the kind of man Benjamin Law is, but I’d invite them to look beyond the bile-filled Op-Ed articles of the conservative press and listen instead to the kind of man that Ben is. If you like this conversation, find him on twitter and tell him - he’s @mrbenjaminlaw Hosted on Acast.

Professor Alistair Sproul is the Head of the School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW. A globally recognised leader in his field, he's been working in renewable energy and energy efficiency for nearly 40 years. In this episode, we discuss why the political messaging around the energy transition timeline is wildly off the mark. While major parties debate slow-crawling policies, the laws of physics and the hard facts of economics are driving a change much faster than many imagine. Alistair shares Australia’s incredible history as a solar pioneer, explains why coal and gas are becoming "expensive old cars" prone to breaking down, and highlights the massive economic opportunity Australia has to lead the world in green energy exports.
