Sail4Sanity, Reserve Bank Insanity & the Voice of Reason

On this weeks show: Sail4Sanity - Two Illawarra grandfathers are sailing and paddling a kayak between two of Australia’s key coal ports, Port Kembla and Newcastle, to draw attention to the need to halt the burning of fossil fuels, while hopefully demonstrating that a great deal of fun can be had in water craft that don’t burn up the planet. Calling for more immediate and effective action by our government to reduce fossil fuel mining and effectively address climate change. They hope to connect with politicians and climate action groups at events along the way and to encourage people to get involved in the Rising Tide Protest. Tom Hunt spoke to Environmental as Anything on his epic voyage. - https://sail4sanity.au/ Prof Bill Mitchell is one of Australia's most emminent economists. Last week the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised interest rates for the 13th time. He spoke to Sean O'Shannessy and said the RBA's broken policies are transferring income and wealth from poor to rich at rates not seen before in this country. The inflationary episode is  a supply-side phenomenon and the major drivers will not fall as a result of interest rate increases, in fact they are actually causing inflation.The RBA is systematically wiping out wealth at the bottom end and transferring to the top end.  - RBA monetary policy decision represents a terminally broken policy model in Australia Violet Coco - The Coco Report - Across Australia people are rising up against the madness of ecological destruction and for a safer more just society. The front lines of that struggle are held by courageous humans like Violet Coco. She joins us again to keep us all up to date on the events we can all become part of to strengthen our case for a viable future for us all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------> Please support community based independent media and make it possible for us to keep producing high quality environmental current affairs: Share this episode on social media, subscribe to this podcast, Like us on Facebook and invite your friends to do the same https://www.facebook.com/EnvironmentalAsAnything Support the Environmental as Anything show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/EnvironmentalAsAnything Email story suggestions to us on: [email protected] (Environmental As Anything is produced on the stolen lands of the Bundjalung Nation) ©COPYLEFT: Environmental as Anything may be reshared and or rebroadcast by any not for profit community media for the purpose of informing and inspiring effective action for peace, justice and ecological sustainability.
