WEBVTT - How police try to shut down climate protests 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.800 Tell me about last year's blockade. What was it like 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:03.800 out on the water. 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:06.840 We actually had a storm roll in, a little squall 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.799 just before four pm, and the rain was lashing down 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.319 and there were some lightning strikes and we were thinking, geez, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.079 we're not going to be able to get on the water. 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.000 And then all of a sudden, the clouds parted at 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.960 about three point thirty and we could see dolphins coming 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.639 in through the harbor and then it was go time. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.960 A massive protest is underway at Newcastle Port by a 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.240 climate defense group in what could be the largest civil 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.920 disobedience action in Australia's history. 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.559 We paddled out into the middle of the channel. We 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.839 were waiting for that four pm deadline to see what 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.920 would happen, to see what the cops would do, because 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.080 of course that was the end of our quarter. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.199 Proof period and you were one of the arrests that day. 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:52.080 Yeah, that's right. 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.480 Can I ask your personal decision to stay out past 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.680 four pm? What drove you to do that? 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:08.280 I think I wanted to be part of history. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:18.280 From sports media, I'm Daniel James. This is seven AM 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.880 a year on for one of the biggest environmental protests 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.640 in Australian history. The activists behind it a group called 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.720 Rising Tide, preparing to blockade's Newcastle Coalport once again, but 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.560 they've hit a stumbling block that saw the protest as 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.360 challenged in the Supreme Court before the blockade had ever begun. 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.839 In New South Wales, protesters are criminalized more than anywhere 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.800 else in the country, and Premier Chris Means is calling 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.720 for even stronger police powers to shut protests down, raising 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.480 questions about over each when it comes to quelling people's 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.600 right to assembly. Today producer Shane Anderson on the growing 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.040 creep of protests crackdowns nationwide, leaving activists fighting for the 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:19.760 right to demonstrate. It's Friday, November twenty two. Shane, You've 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.040 been looking into the case of climate activists Rising Tide 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.120 and their upcoming blockade of Newcastle Coalport. Can you tell 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:27.840 me about this group? 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.320 Yeah, I can tell you that they formed in two 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.240 thousand and five in Newcastle, which is two hours north 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.160 of Sydney, and that they're one of several blockade groups 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.640 in Australia. But even though they're all galvanized around climate action, 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:46.520 they each have different philosophies towards civil disobedience. So Rising 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.480 Tide have a really clear charter. They want the government 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.560 to phase out coal exports, They want to end approvals 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.079 of all new oil and gas projects, and they want 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.160 to fund the energy transition with attacks on mining profits 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.080 and so to do this they make a of only 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.079 targeting fossil fuel infrastructure and that's what they did last year. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.400 Last year they blockaded the port of Newcastle for thirty 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.880 hours and there were one hundred and nine arrests all up, 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.359 including Australia's oldest man arrested for climate activism, the Reverend 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.000 Alan Stewart, who was ninety seven years old at the time. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.240 There were so many in this country, particularly in the 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.960 coal industry, who were not concerned with what is going 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:31.280 to be. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.000 Another person who was arrested was Zach Schofield. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.280 So Hi, my name's Zach. I'm a Newcastle local law 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.080 student and I've been an organizer with Rising Tide for 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.000 the last two years. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.000 Zach told me that he basically grew up in the 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.480 shadow of this coalport, which is the biggest of its 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.320 kind in the world. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.280 Can hear the foghorns overnight and you can go to 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.240 the beach and see the ships lined up just offshore. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.600 I would count them with my mum. I suppose it 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.200 took a while to realize that, you know what's being 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.160 exported there, that's death. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.920 And Zach told me that when it came to doing 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.320 a blockade again this year, you know, he pointed out 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.680 that we had the hottest year globally on record. He 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.680 pointed out all of the new minor approvals and expansions, 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.599 so there really wasn't any question of not doing it 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.320 again this year. But this time they wanted to make 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.560 it bigger, get more people out on the water, you know, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.760 in these little kayaks paddling up against these huge coll 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.960 ships to try and get the message out that they 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.599 don't think the government is moving fast enough to stop 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.320 climate change. And it's this plan that has already seen 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.880 them I have to defend themselves in the Supreme Court 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.640 before the protest has even begun. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.480 So how did that happen? 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.680 Yeah, so it started when they submitted their form one. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.599 It's a notice of intention that you send to the 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.840 Police Commissioner that you want to hold a protest, and 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.200 it's just you know, two pieces of paper, five little 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.799 sections that you fill out. And yet it's this little 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.360 piece of paperwork that's at the center of all this. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.760 I spoke to Brandy Coglin. She's a single mom in 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.520 Newcastle and she's also a lawyer. It was actually her 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.600 name on the Form one that they submitted. So let's 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.039 be clear. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.599 The Form one is not a request for permission to 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.479 hold a public assembly. You don't need permission to protest 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.000 in Australia. All a Form one does is provide an 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.920 opportunity for police and protesters to work together to ensure 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.719 our shared goal of everybody's safety at the public assembly 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.760 and essentially suspend certain police powers so that the people 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.400 gathering can have some peace of mind that they won't 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.800 be issued with move on orders or charged with certain 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.960 abstraction offenses. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.120 Once you've submitted a Form one to the Police Commissioner, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.240 there's a couple of things that can happen next. The 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.640 first is that the police can authorize the form outright. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.000 Maybe there's a bit of back and forth about you know, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.680 conditions or locations, but the protest goes ahead, and that's 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.440 what happened last year. The people that were arrested were 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.560 the ones who stayed out on the water intentionally passed 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.720 that dead line. With the other option, which is where 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.960 it starts to get interesting for Rising Tide is when 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.640 the police don't want to authorize a protest. The police 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.760 can't reject a form one outright, but instead what they 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.680 can do is apply to the Supreme Court and let 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.520 a judge decide if the protest should be authorized or prohibited. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.599 So Rising Tide were notified on Tuesday, the twenty ninth 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.080 of October. That's when they were told the police were 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.240 making this application to the Supreme Court, and then the 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.520 first hearing was slated for the Friday of the same week. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.880 Right, so take us inside the courtroom. How did it 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:39.680 play out? 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.240 Inside the courtroom? The police were effectively arguing why the 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.760 protest shouldn't go ahead on the basis of things like 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.479 safety on the water and economic disruption to the port, 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.000 to which Rising Tide had to defend. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.960 It's quite a bit of work to appear in the 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.640 Supreme Court. We have to get affidavits from, you know, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.880 witnesses who are going to be presenting evidence on our 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.799 safety plans and strategic plans. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.560 I talked to Zak who at times he was standing 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.040 outside the doors kind of straining to listen in to 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.119 hear how it was going. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.800 You know, we got some amazing evidence from folks about 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.080 the amount of economic disruption this would actually cause, you know, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.240 who would be suffering any losses, if anyone. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.720 And then Brandy Coglin, whose name is on the Form one, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.360 she was even cross examined. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.240 I'm no stranger to court proceedings, but even for me 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.640 it was incredibly stressful, incredibly time consuming. I was either 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.280 in court or at my computer working on the case 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.000 for twenty hours a day over the course of ten days. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.080 And then it was on the final day, which was 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.240 November seven, that Justice Fagan delivered his verdict on the protest, 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.320 which was the court ruled in favor of the police. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.480 So I was in the courtroom when the judgment was 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.280 handed down and Justice Fagan came in and said that 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.680 he was giving the police the sought order to not 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:04.080 have Form one go ahead, and he walked out, what. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:04.960 Does that actually mean? 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.200 It means the protest is officially prohibited, and it also 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.120 means there's no option to appeal. Rising tide say they'll 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.400 still go ahead with the protest, which they'll do alongside 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.680 a police force that now has a full suite of 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.440 powers and what's more, challenges like this to becoming more 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.440 and more common, and they're set against a backdrop of 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.280 a nationwide crackdown on the right to protest. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.160 After the break, why it's more challenging to hold a 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:46.720 protest than ever before? Shane, It sounds like the Supreme 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.400 Court challenged to stop this protest by Rising Tide, all 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.840 hinged on this form one, which I've never heard of. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.040 What makes this piece of paperwork so important? 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.400 Yeah, I mean it was the form one that really 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.760 got me interested in this store because just a few 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.120 weeks before Rising Tide we're in the Supreme Court. There 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.240 was another group in the exact same situation, the Palestine 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.640 Action Group, who were challenged over their Form one for 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.560 rallies planned around October seven. They ended up reaching an 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.280 agreement with the police outside of court, but it still 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.600 got me thinking how this could happen twice in one month. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.480 And it turns out the Form one actually has quite 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.880 a long history. It was originally brought about after the 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.840 Mardi Gras protest in nineteen seventy eight. This was the 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.400 first ever Mardi Gras march, and it ended in police 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.679 brutality and mass arrests, for which the New South Wales 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.199 Police apologized for in twenty sixteen. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.199 Whilst demonstrators went through a repertoire of slogans, the court 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.120 began reminding me. Fifty three people arrested on Saturday night, 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.160 but before midday another seven people were in jail. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:54.960 And it was in the wake of these protests that 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.680 the Form one was born because the government wanted to 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.000 use it to improve the relationship between police some protesters, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.880 bringing them together so they could set boundaries and therefore 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.400 reduce violence and reduce arrests. I even had to look 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.040 back at what was said in Parliament in nineteen seventy 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.040 nine when it was introduced, and the New South Wales 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.120 Attorney General even called it the greatest recognition of the 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:19.400 right to assemble. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.440 But it sounds like that's changed now. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.920 Yeah, I mean, speaking to advocates, there is a sense 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.080 that its usage has been changing quite a bit. I'm 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.400 told there were pretty much no police challenges until around 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.959 two thousand and three. That's when lawyers started hearing about 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.640 it more often, and it really kicked up a gear 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.760 again in twenty twenty two when the new South Wales 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.480 State government under Premier Perite brought in anti protest laws 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.280 that at the time were the most punitive laws in Australia. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.080 People have the right to free speech. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.679 We promote that. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.720 He brought in tough fines and even potential jail time 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.160 for protesters who obstructed things likes and railways. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:02.800 We've passed the laws. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.800 We'll throw the book at these people because their behavior 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.360 is completely unacceptable. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.600 And since then that advocates say, Form one has been 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.080 less about bringing everyone to the table and as function 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.719 more as a kind of protest permit. Because now if 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.200 a Form one isn't authorized by the police, there's a 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.600 threat of jail time as soon as your protest starts, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.560 I should say as well. I did ask the New 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.200 South Wales Police about the changing use of the Form 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.040 one and they told me that, you know, the vast 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.200 majority of cases they do authorize a form usually with 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.400 some negotiation involved. Statistics show, however, that since two thousand 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.240 and three, there have been eighteen police challenges in the 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.840 Supreme Court over a Form one. So in thirteen of 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.680 those cases, or seventy five percent of cases, the police won. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.520 So what does all this say about how protests are 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:58.719 changing in Australia. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.000 Yeah, so I Form one at the end of the day, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.319 it's just, you know, one small part of a much 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.559 bigger picture. We know that, you know, in the past 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.600 two decades there's been forty nine anti protest laws enacted 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.120 in Australia. Human rights law centers say many of them 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.760 are confusing and vague. We know that in the entire 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.280 decade up until twenty twenty one, only one person was 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.120 in prison for protesting, and since then we've had nine. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.760 Many more have been arrested and subjected to really tough 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.600 bail conditions before they've been found guilty of anything. And 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.200 we know that the new South Wales Premier Chris Mins 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.360 has been you know, doubling down on anti protest laws 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.920 and is calling for the police to be given even 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.240 more authority to prohibit protests that he says are costing 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.240 taxpayers money. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.520 Certainly, I know where I'm from, Shane. In Victoria, the 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.480 police Une is pushing for a similar system to the 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.960 Form one system that you have there. So it definitely 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.800 feels like there's a shift from a police perspective to 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.480 get the balance right between peaceful assembly versus the cost 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.280 of disruption. But there's also a concern that this is 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:06.960 going too far. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.000 Yeah, definitely, And I think what you're getting out there 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.360 as well is that there does need to be this 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.640 balance struck. But should it rest with the police or 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.000 with the government of the day to decide where that 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.360 line is drawn? Especially you know, in the case of 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.160 Rising Tide, these are protests that have critical messages against 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.520 the government's own decisions. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.920 So Rising Tide has said that the blockade will still 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.640 go ahead. What is the group risking in doing that? 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.000 How could it unfold? 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.319 The protest is still very much going ahead. In fact, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.680 yesterday afternoon we saw hundreds of kayaks paddle out into 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:45.280 the harbor, and without the protection of the Form one authorization, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.079 it does mean we're likely to see arrests and charges. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.640 There was one small victory for the protesters though, so 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.120 Transport New South Wales had earlier tried to make the 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.160 entire coalport a maritime exclusion zone, which meant that anyone 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.280 who even dip their tories into the water could be 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.600 hit with an eleven hundred dollars fine. Rising Tide went 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.960 back to the Supreme Court challenged that and won. But 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.360 before the protest had started, I did ask Zach if 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.440 he thought there was ever a point where the pressure 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.880 would become too much if he'd ever thought about just 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.760 canceling the protest, and he seemed determined from the get 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.240 go that would not happen. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.480 Oh God, no, no, no, we're certainly not canceling it. A 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.480 lot of folks are feeling more determined than ever to 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.160 come because they see this as basically a political attack. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.000 But the message that it sends is that the government 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.160 doesn't want us to be on the water. They don't 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.520 want us to be protesting. At the end of the day, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.800 you know, we're targeting the fossil fuel industry. We don't 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.040 need to make anyone else's lives harder than they need 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.400 to be, but we need to assert our rights. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.680 Shane, thank you so much for your time. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:52.800 Thank you, Daniel. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.880 Also in the US today, the chair of the Indianadana Group, Gautamdani, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.080 has been indicted by US prosecutors over what they describe 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.640 as a massive bribery scheme. A Dana is accused of 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.040 agreeing to pay two hundred and fifty million dollars to 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.160 Indian government officials in exchange to solar energy supply contracts, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.440 with an estimated yield of two billion dollars in profits. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.000 The Idana Group was then accused of going on to 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.680 fund the solo projects with billions from US investors. And 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.120 there are more First Nations children in the child protection 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.720 system than ever before. According to data from the Annual 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.960 Family Matters Report, there are currently almost twenty three thousand 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.040 Aboriginal children in the system, making Aboriginal kids ten point 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.560 eight times more likely to be removed from their family 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.920 than any other child. Despite this, only six percent of 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:00.440 child protection prevention money goes to Aboriginal run organizations, with 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.960 more funding for programs that remove children from families rather 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:09.920 than in prevention or support. Seven Am is a daily 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.840 shown from Schwartz Media and The Saturday Paper. It's made 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:17.480 by Adigus Basto, Shane Anderson, Christine Gate, Daniel James, Eric Jensen, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:23.280 Ruby Jones, Sarah mcveee, Travis Evans and Zofecho. That's all 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:24.960 for now, see you next week.
