THE LEGACY
David Suzuki

A distillation of the wisdom and experience of David Suzuki’s long and passionate love affair with Planet Earth and his legacy for generations to come.

If David Suzuki had to sum up all that he has learned in a life packed with scientific and environmental research and activism, what would he say? Here in a classic of its kind, one of the planet’s preeminent elders explains how we arrived where we are today, and presents his vision for a better future. The Legacy is a gift of his accumulated wisdom, a snapshot of the most important messages formulated throughout his life.

Monday 18 October – Melbourne 6 – 7.30pm
The Wheeler Centre with the Melbourne International Arts Festival event. Tickets available through the Wheeler Centre
***Note, this is already sold out. Im disappointed I didnt know about it earlier... if only I had more funds and leisure time I would go to another city, maybe you can and tell me about it.

The Kimberleys

After pressuring local Indigenous communities with compulsory acquisition during development talks, last week WA Premier Colin Barnett unilaterally declared that negotiations had reached a stalemate and began the process to compulsorily acquire the land. The Traditional Owners are now uniformly opposing the compulsory acquisition, with former Australian of the Year and Indigenous Academic, Mick Dodson, calling the move an act of colonialism and theft of Aboriginal lands.1
