Australia's biggest-ever environmental battle was over a wild river in a remote part of Tasmania: the Franklin. Protesters flooded in from all over Australia to stop the Franklin River from being dammed for hydropower. They stood in front of bulldozers and were jailed for it. But for lots of locals, the dam represented a job opportunity at a time of economic crisis. This fight tore apart communities and captured the attention of the nation.

Today, more people are concerned about the planet than ever before…so in a fight for the environment, this season of Dig investigates: What does it take to win?

Who will win? Spin and hope or raw, sobering reality?

Bob Brown has been campaigning and leading action on climate and the protection of our natural environments for at least 50 years. Inspiring fellow environmentalists and changing / challenging legislation as an Australian Senator.

In 1978 Bob Brown was appointed director of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society and was a leader of the campaign to prevent construction of the Franklin Dam in the late 70's

He was elected to the Australian Senate in 1996. In his first speech in the Senate, he raised the threat posed by climate change where government and opposition members laughed at his warning of sea level rises.

In 2010 Bob led the Australian Greens to a historic result with more than 1.6 million Australians voting for the Greens and the election of 9 Senators and 1 House of Representatives member.

He stepped down as Leader of the Australian Greens and retired from the Senate in June 2012.

He then set up the Bob Brown Foundation where he continues the campaign for greater environmental protection and a move away from fossil fuels into new technology and renewable energy.

We talk about the need to vote for the people who have the planet front and centre, rather than succumbing to the need for self preservation. The need to understand who you are voting for and the protection of forests and our natural environments.
