Episode Details

Mark 'Poochie' Isaac found himself front and centre during the unprecedented flooding that struck the Northern Rivers earlier this year.

After saving lives and livestock on the back of a jet ski during the immediate stages of the catastrophe, he and several other volunteers set up Wardell C.O.R.E (Community Organised Resilience Effort) - a grass roots, workers' cooperative that spent the following weeks and months rebuilding the town of Wardell and the surrounding area.

Their work created a blue print for a brave new future in which unpaid, highly skilled, workers cooperatives build and rebuild communities while circumventing the crippling debt and productivity theft characterised by late-stage capitalism.
