The Green Witch Hunt: another angle to cripple dissentGreen groups have been put under the microscope by the Federal House of Representatives Inquiry into the Tax Status of Environmental Organisations. Currently, the ability to receive tax deductible donations is a lifeblood for many groups fighting for environmental and social justice. The Committee intends to de-legitimise the role of advocacy in protecting the environment, favouring activities like tree-planting over campaigns to stop new coal mines, an essential part of the battle to slow global warming. Guests:Nicola Paris, CounterActCam Walker, Friends of the EarthIan Onley, Gormondale farmerKirsty Albion, Australian Youth Climate CoalitionMusic by the Lurkers.Photo: September 21 protest to defend the environmental organisations being scrutinised inside the Victorian Parliament.
