Who betrayed Australia on climate change?

In this episode of the Briefing, Bension sits down with journalist and author Royce Kurmelovs to discuss his investigation into what Australia’s fossil fuel industry knew about climate change more than 50 years ago.

Royce describes how the industry managed to win the support of Australia’s governments and media to cover it up for so long.

But he also makes a powerful argument for hope in the face of all the grim statistics we hear about the climate crisis today.

Royce’s new book, Slick: Australia’s toxic relationship with Big Oil, is available now.

Headlines:

O'Callaghan and Titmus take out gold and silver in 200m freestyle

Rising tensions between Israel and militant group Hezbollah.

New developments in US politics
