AUSTRALIA | S06 E2 - How we became addicted to coal

Australia’s second-oldest city, Newcastle, was built around a single resource - coal.

Since then, Australia has come to rely on coal for its prosperity. Our industries grew around the cheap energy it provided, and our global trade balance relies on its export.

But now, that has to end. The question is - what will happen to Australia, and its coal communities - when it does?

Guests:

Professor John Maynard, Emeritus Professor, Indigenous Education and Research, University of Newcastle

Dr Judith Brett - Emeritus Professor of Politics at La Trobe University, author of the Quarterly Essay The Coal Curse

Julie Baird - Director of Newcastle Museum

Stephen Galilee - CEO of the NSW Minerals Council

Scott Hamilton, Australia-German Energy Transition Hub & former energy policy advisor to federal and Victorian governments

Wendy Farmer - Voices of the Valley

Darren Chester - Federal Nationals Member for Gippsland
