Aired 24/09/22 - This week on Backchat, we get started with a look at the recently released findings of an enquiry into the drug ice, which recommended that some quantities of drugs be decriminalised in NSW. Next, we chat to Saul Deane from Total Environment Centre about a state government plan to open up huge chunks of Western Sydney - including critical Koala habitat - to new development. Backchat producer Alice Leggett caps things off with a chat to Adam Jones from the NSW State Emergency Service about the preparations underway for a looming third La Niña. This episode of Backchat was produced by Sana Shaikh, Alice Leggett, Jostina Basta and Eamonn Snow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
