S1E28 P&P Grant Ennis, Dark PR's 9 tactics by the car lobby to make us car dependent

from Streets and People · host Get Around Caboolture

What are the 9 tactics the car lobby uses to distract us from taking action about road deaths? Grant Ennis steps through each one, giving examples for what to look for when reading the news, taking up pledges and projects that look to solve the problem of road trauma but don't. Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Harms our Health and the Environment. You can read the transcript here. This is one of the People & Projects series to look at what’s happening around the world and closer to home. People & Projects (P&P) are for people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders. Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD).  Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed or they had a collision and now they’re too scared (you might be surprised why a person can’t drive and how the lack of alternatives impacts their daily living). This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions. www.GetAroundCaboCarfree.com.au Artwork by Chris Woodard
