À propos de cet audio

Natural disasters rip away our collective sense of control, so it’s critical that the road of recovery is paved with community voice and agency. With disasters increasing year on year we need new ideas for how governments and communities can work together when everything has been destroyed.

Democracy After Disasters is a nine part narrative documentary podcast series that explores how we can re-build democracy on the road of recovery. We'll talk to people from Macedon to Mallacoota, to experts in history, philosophy and political science. And we'll uncover ideas that can dramatically improve the path of community recovery.

    In this sixth episode of 'Democracy After Disaster', we hear the experiences of former recovery worker and self confessed democracy geek, Paula, who must navigate the system in order to do the public service work she loves. We get a glimpse of local government from the inside and hold it up to the light of democracy, and we start to see where solutions might lie if we are to improve our collective experience of recovery.

    This episode explores the story of recovery in Mallacoota after the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020. From a town divided for decades, we watch as the community of Mallacoota learns to step up, collaborate and develop a recovery plan that prioritises the environment and making sure no one is left behind. We also learn of the many ways the system thwarts community ambitions, and demands much in return for a community’s chance to lead their own recovery.

    Episode 4 of 'Democracy After Disaster,' explores the aftermath of Australia's Black Saturday fires and the unfolding recovery, in Kinglake, a small town on the edge of Melbourne and an escarpment. We follow the experiences and thought lines of Kinglake resident Daryl Taylor, a deep political and philosophical thinker, and we roam across government capacity, neoliberalism, social evolutionary theory, disaster capitalism, and social capital.
