This video is very inspiring and representative of the concerns that young Australians are facing.
Just today, the Liberal Party split down the middle as they decided on their new leader and climate was a major issue. The leader who won, Tony Abbott MP, is the most conservative on climate issues. Before the spill he claimed that climate change was not happening. Now, he says that what he said then was “hyperbole”. Today, Abbott distanced himself from climate deniers and has said that the debate is about how we respond not whether we respond.
Young people feel let down by the Opposition and the Government. We want our leaders to stop playing politics with our future. They need to stop making Australia look like a mockery on the world stage.
Congratulations to AYCC and the Australian Youth Delegation on a great short clip on Channel 10 News.
