18.01.2022 Have you heard about ‘The Story of Plastic’ documentary? The Story of Plastic takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe - fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. Murrindindi Shire Council are inviting you to a free community screening of the film, which you can watch from the comfort of your home anytime during September! All you need to do is register at www.storyofplastic9.eventbrite.com.au and we’ll email you a streaming link to watch it.

02.01.2022 This 16 Days of Activism event is a Q&A Panel exploring the work of the Gender and Disaster Pod. Disasters are ever-present in Australia. Bushfires are an annua...l occurrence and a threat to health, well-being, and the environment. The effect of disasters on women, men and people with diverse gender and sexual identities is long-lasting and harmful. The social impacts of COVID-19 and bushfires are almost identical, with very few differences. The increase in domestic violence is visible in the pandemic and has been documented after bushfires. Gender relations take a 50-year set back in disasters and allow incursions into hard won rights for women, people with diverse gender and sexual identities and other minority groups. The gendered nature of housework and childcare have become even more apparent with families having to home-school and work from home. For men expectation of being a protector and provider is exacerbated and frequently leads to harmful behaviours. This panel will explore a wide range of topics relating to gender expectations and impacts during Bushfires and COVID19. The panelists will explore ways that we are able to call out gendered norms and stereotypes, including violence against women and LGBTI people within the planning, responding and recovery phases of disasters in Victoria. Panelists include Debra Parkinson, Liam Leonard, Steve O’Malley, and Beth Taylor. If you would like to ask a question to our panelists please complete the registration form with your question, or email to [email protected] by 15th of November.
