Show Notes
We start with the catalyst to what could be Australia’s first Community Land Trust, Kelvin Daly from the Brunswick Eco Village. Exciting. Then we talk to Colin Cook about the pressures of UK enclosures. How did that contribute to arrests and what ramifications did that have for what was soon to become Australia?
