Next year is going to be very tough for coal, oil and gas. These interviews and songs take us into the spirit of the people who have protected waters, forests land and sea country for millenia. BACKGROUNDThe First International Conference for the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels is announced for April 28-29 in 2026. The Netherlands and Colombia will host it at Santa Marta coal port in Colombia.It will be a landmark event focussed just on international cooperation in phasing out coal, oil, and gas and moving beyond UN talks to create concrete plans and pathways for a fair transition.The conference aims to bring together governments, experts, and civil society to build on declarations like the Belem Declaration. Momentum built up at COP 30 in Belem has led to the urgent need to work out the legal, economic, and social steps for a fossil-free future.

Then Garridyula, explores with us how vital fresh water is. He is cultural Custodian of the Waddanagu cultural ceremony which protects the sacred Doongmabula Springs. He spoke at the First Nations Yarning space in Newcastle and contributed to the stories First Nations people told in Brazil at the massive conference COP 30 in Belem.Listeners will remember the massive STOP ADANI campaign and how many people have been graciously welcomed to Wangan and Jagalingou country. This is a beautiful interview in which we hear that the exploiters are children who do not understand the water table and how destructive their mining activities are.Adani/Bravus continues to export coal but at a much lower volume that planned and with considerable reputational damage here and abroad. The Waddanangu Ceremony continues because these are eternal waters and need our protection.https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/fire-still-burning-for-custodians-in-fight-against-mine/mm2lxpgax Jayden Kitchener Waters sang at a Palestine Action Rally in Sydney.National Indigenous Times 27/11/2025 : "Jayden Kitchener-Waters has been suspended with pay after going public with his alleged experience of censorship at the Premier's public servants Awards.On Monday November 17, Mr Kitchener-Waters was due to play his song 'Nhayla', written for his niece and sung in both English and Ngiyampaa language, before Premier's Department staff told him messages painted on his guitar were "too political" and could be seen as "taking sides"."NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE", "FREE GAZA" and "F*CK THE IDF" was the writing in concern.Mr Kitchener-Waters offered to cover the word 'f*ck' before the issue was raised with the phrase referring to genocide."
