length: 53:22   credit: RN: Big Ideas   download

posted Jun 10, 2013

This discussion is moderated by Antony Funnell, presenter of RN's Future Tense.

Guests:
 
Anthony Perl - Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies at Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University and author of Transport Revolutions: Moving People and Freight Without Oil.
Ian Dunlop - Centre for Policy Development Fellow, and former senior international oil, gas and coal industry executive and Chair of the Australian Coal Association
Ross Povey - Director Planning and Development, Stirling Council
Michael Roth - Executive Manager Public Policy, RACQ
