A couple of interesting episodes on TV for your information:
Landline, ABC (replay Monday 7th, 11am)
The Food Forest
Segment about a permaculture farm in Gawler, South Australia growing over 150 varieties. Included an introduction to the concept of permaculture and an interview with David Holmgren (featured in the SustainaBundy guide!) talking about his permaculture courses. Was inspiring to see this success story. The transcript should be online in the next few days.

Insight, SBS, (replay Monday 7th, 3.30pm)
Australia: A Car-Dependent Nation
Discussion revolved around how much Australians love their cars. Guests included representatives from an oil company, a car manufacturer and NSW Greens party leader. There was talk about peak oil, emissions, climate change and health effects. Unfortunately, the only solutions discussed were electric/hybrid cars and hydrogen fuel. The Greens leader talked about public transport, but there was no mention of reducing transport and food miles, relocalisation or serious discussion of public transport. I felt like the program was driven by 'popular' opinion, led by industry present, that if we just buy a different car, we won't have to adjust our lifestyle. Regardless of the shortfalls, it was still good to see the topic of peak oil on TV. Read the online discussion here .
