Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

222: Having a gas ft. Sophie McNeill
Q: What role did Sophie McNeill play at the Woodside AGM and in the gas inquiry?
Sophie McNeill spoke at the Woodside AGM and contributed to the broader gas inquiry by holding major players to account, asking tough questions, and amplifying climate and human-rights concerns within industry discussions, thereby bridging journalism, advocacy, and policy work.
222: Having a gas ft. Sophie McNeill
Q: What is the Greens' stance on the 25% gas export tax, and how would it fund the transition?
The Greens advocate for at least a 25% gas export tax, ideally higher, to capture windfall profits, fund climate damage repair, and finance regional economic transitions away from LNG dependence. The goal is not to prop up ongoing fossil fuel use but to force the industry to pay its fair share and to use that revenue to accelerate a just transition.
222: Having a gas ft. Sophie McNeill
Q: Can you explain how the gas industry influences WA politics and government policy?
The industry is deeply embedded in the state's political economy, with massive lobbying, sponsorship of institutions and symbols, and a political culture that often places industry interests at the center of decision-making. This means policy proposals like a gas export tax face entrenched resistance from both industry and allied political actors, while Greens MPs push for accountability and a transition funding mechanism.
221: How media talks war & Angus Taylor’s tirade ft. Nick Feik
Q: How is media handling mentions of war and civilian impact in the reporting?
They suggest that media are censoring or soft-pedaling terms like 'invasion' or 'genocide,' leading to a biased portrayal of events and limited public accountability.
221: How media talks war & Angus Taylor’s tirade ft. Nick Feik
Q: What is your assessment of the war's management and Australia's alignment with Western powers?
The host and guests argue that Australia has aligned too closely with US and Israeli actions, often prioritizing strategic interests over humanitarian considerations, and that this is reflected in domestic policy and media framing.
