Violet Coco (pictured) took the message of the climate and ecological crisis to Sydney Harbour Bridge in April this year when she blocked one lane of traffic. She was subsequently arrested, then sentenced to 15 months in jail, appealed that but was denied bail, but now that has been overturned and Violet is free on bail until the appeal regarding her sentence is heard in March next year. Violet is associated with "Extinction Rebellion", but the Harbour Bridge protest was under the banner of "Fireproof Australia". Jane Morton, a Melbourne-based psychologist who specialises in climate crisis communication, knows Violet well and joins this episode.
