Nature is healing: Aussie tourists are back in Bali - a podcast by triple j

For the first time in two years, direct flights from Australia to Bali are back, and there's no quarantine requirements for fully-vaxxed tourists.

But how can the tourism industry make international flying more sustainable? There's calls to make aviation fuel more efficient to keep gas emissions down.

And, Youth Allowance and JobSeeker payments are going up this month - but with the rising cost of petrol hitting everyone hard, will it make much of a difference?

We also speak to Dr Rachel Farrelly, who is making history by becoming the first Indigenous female surgeon in Australia.

Plus, the murder trial of Kumanjayi Walker resulted in a not guilty verdict for constable Zachary Rolfe. Now, Walpiri elders are calling for a change to policing in Indigenous communities — including getting rid of guns.

Live guests:
Neil Hansford, aviation expert
Ben Groundwater, travel writer
Claudia Long, Hack’s political reporter
Gunu woman Dr Rachel Farrelly
Dr Terry Goldsworthy, Associate Professor in criminology, Bond university
