Solid progress on CO2, and preparing for H5 bird flu

In this episode, we discuss H5 bird flu and how governments are preparing. You'll also hear about new technology invented in Australia that turns climate-polluting CO2 into valuable solids, as well as a new NSW government program that will subsidise household energy efficiency upgrades.

Plus we talk about endangered spiny crayfish, restoring shellfish reefs, and a rare tortoise! Plus And we look at the progress being made in protecting the rivers, wetlands and floodplains of Australia's vast Murray-Darling Basin.

We'll also talk about a warning from the wind and solar industry about a potential policy change in Victoria - proposed by the state Opposition if it wins the November state election - that could slow Victoria's shift from polluting coal energy to clean energy, and prevent billions of dollars flowing to regional communities.
