For all the #qldpol folk and Olympics haters out there, I'll be talking about the Planning (Social Impact & Community Benefit) Bill on @radioreversal.bsky.social tmw with my fellow planning and local government nerds, Jonno Sriranganathan and Edward. Tune in Thurs 9-10am on @4zzzradio.bsky.social
More on the Planning (social impact and community benefit) and other legislation amendment bill (qld) 2025:
I've already spoken about how this Bill gives GIICA the ability to avoid any meaningful development assessment for Olympic-related venues and infrastructure. I also wanna talk about CBA

This was such a beautiful chat, one of those interviews that poured light into the gaps in my thinking. Full interview will be out on the Radio Reversal podcast in the next day or two
Rikki Dank also spoke about love and refusal, resistance and possibility, and the long-standing histories and practices of Aboriginal People resisting the crises caused by colonial-capitalism, and colonial-capitalism itself. Tune in 9-10 on @4zzzradio.bsky.social or listen back on the podcast

We draw on Anna's brilliant work on "crisis colonialism" to look at how moments of crisis and rupture can be seized by settler-colonial states to consolidate and expand their power, how settlers particularly get drawn back into complicity & out of solidarity, and how we can do better
Latest ep in our series on Disaster, Crisis & Collective Futures is live! In Ep14: Crisis Colonialism & the Expanding Frontiers of Empire, Anna, Jonno, & Nat consider the intersections of disaster capitalism & colonialism, & settler-colonial governments as crisis managers par excellence

It's okay, Anna & Jonno arrived during the first track (Vanilla Nation, Being Jane Lane) so Nat did not have to bluff her way through. Listen back on @4zzzradio.bsky.social (version w the new, local music!) or subscribe to our podcast for this convo and more!
because the Story Bridge is closed to active transport my co-producers on Radio Reversal this morning are stuck on a bus stuck in congestion and my dudes, I am not equipped to talk about crisis colonialism without Anna Carlson?

Tune in to @4zzzradio.bsky.social 102.1FM at 9am to hear this great chat between Anna, Jonno, Nat, & Nick Southall, author of 'Disaster Communism and Anarchy in the Streets' on the political possibilities that emerge during disasters & bending conditions of crisis towards collective liberation
This is so bleak, but I also have a little antidote, which is an interview with Nick Southall on #disastercommunism being broadcast on 4ZZZ 102.1FM tmw morning 9-10am, & which will also be on the @radioreversal.bsky.social podcast
