1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Good morning everybody who welcome to the Daily Odys. My 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: name is Sam Kozlowski. It's the seventeenth of September and 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: thank god against Friday. It's been a big week of news. 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: We threw in some nuclear powered submarines into the new 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: cycle just for good measure. Yesterday across the country it 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: wasn't great news in terms of COVID numbers. In Victoria 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: there were five hundred and fourteen new cases, New South 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Wales recorded Oney three hundred and fifty one and in 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: the Act there were fifteen Zara. We also found out 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: a little bit more about regional New South Wales. What 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: did we learn? 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: The New South Wales LGAs of Albury and Lizmore have 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: entered a snap seven day lockdown after new cases emerged 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: in the regions. Yesterday, Aubrey recorded two unconnected mystery cases 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: of COVID nineteen, while Lismore recorded a single case. The 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Lismore LGA has one of the lowest vaccination rates in 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: the state. Meanwhile, New South Wales Health also highlighted their 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: concern over a growing COVID nineteen cluster in a number 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: of public housing buildings in Redfern. Sam there was a 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: bit of better news for Victoria, though, do you want 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: to just run us through what Victorians can do from tonight. 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: From eleven to fifty nine pm tonight, one person may 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: meet another person not from their household for a picnic, walk, 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: or other outdoor activity and you don't need to be vaccinated. 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: If you are vaccinated, up to five fully vaccinated adults 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: plus dependents from two separate households can gather outdoors. The 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: not so good news for Melbourne is that there's a 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: seventy percent chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday and 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a bit cold, but I don't 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: think that will stop the picnic goers. Speaking of vaccinations, 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: Australia is expected to pass seventy percent of the eligible 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: population having their first JAB today. It's a really big day. 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: More than twenty three point seven million vaccine doses have 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: been administered this year, with forty four point seven percent 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: of the eligible population now fully vaxxed. The big number 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: we're heading towards is a seventy percent fully vaccinated population 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: that unlocks Phase B of the National Plan at eighty percent. 38 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: International borders are expected to reopen and restrictions will ease further. 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: As part of Phase C. 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Yesterday morning was a wild time. At seven am, we 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: got a major announcement from Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden. 43 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: While Biden did seem to forget the name of our 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 2: prime minister, that didn't detract from the announcement. There has 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: been a varied international response to the announcement of ORCUS 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: this new strategic alliance. China's US embassy said the three 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: nations should quote shake off their Cold War mentality and 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: ideological prejudice, while the French Foreign Minister expressed his disappointment 49 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: at Australia's abandonment of the existing submarine deal. If this 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: is all sounding a bit foreign to you, head over 51 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 2: to our instagram because we did write a story on this. 52 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: New Zealand Prime Minister just Sinda ra Durn said that 53 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: Australia's nuclear submarine fleet will be banned from New Zealand 54 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: war due to a long standing ban on nuclear powered vessels. 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: So this isn't a change, it's just a continuation of policy. 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: And your Friday good news is that space tourism is 57 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: another step closer for all of US four amateur astronauts 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: have been successfully launched into space as part of the 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: inspiration for mission in the major milestone for the industry. 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: One of the passengers, a billionaire named Jared Isaacman, purchased 61 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the flight and gave the other three seats to people 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: with inspirational stories, a bone cancer survivor, a geoscientist, and 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: a US Air Force veteran. Four young Australians and in 64 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: fact young people around the world. Talking and reading about 65 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: climate change feels different to older generations. For us, the 66 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: destruction of the planet and the effects of climate change 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: on natural disasters and the way that we play our 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: sport and live our lives is personal. It will impact 69 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: our future, and with this great cloud hanging over our heads, 70 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: it's not surprising that the majority of young people feel 71 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: an immense sense of climate anxiety. To process this new 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: study and to discuss different ways that we can approach 73 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: climate anxiety, I chatted to freyer Coal from the Australian 74 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: Conservation Foundation. If I am representative of young people around Australia, 75 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that we're all pretty worried about the 76 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: effects of climate change, and that worry has moved the 77 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: dial has moved from a thought that we have in 78 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: the back of our minds to something at the forefront 79 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: of how we live our lives every day. Joining us 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: today on the podcast is the Media and Investigations manager 81 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: for the Australian Conservation Foundation, Freyer Coal to talk all 82 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: things climate anxiety. Freyer, Are you worried? 83 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: I sure, am Sam, and it's really nice to be 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: talking to you about this today because the more we 85 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: talk about it, the more we can come together. 86 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: So a survey came house. It was reported from the 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: bath in the UK, and it said that sixty percent 88 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: of young people said they felt very worried or extremely worried. 89 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: What do you think about the climate emergency is triggering 90 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: for young people? 91 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: There's so much to be worried about when it comes 92 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 3: to climate change, and I think for young people it's 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 3: in the media every day. Sometimes it feels like every 94 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: week there's a new poll or a survey, and this 95 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: one in particular focuses on young people and also how 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: they're feeling about government response. And that's part of the 97 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: reason why they're feeling so sad and anxious, because we 98 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: know from this survey that sixty percent of young people 99 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: say they feel that their distress is being dismissed by adults, 100 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 3: and that's something that our elected representatives really need to 101 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: start listening to. They need to start listening to young people. 102 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: This research builds on previous surveys that I've seen pop 103 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: up in the news cycle, also tracking the high levels 104 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: of anxiety about the climate crisis around the world. One 105 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: thing that is continuing to be highlighted by these surveys 106 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: are people's fears about having children. What role does the 107 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: government have in reassuring us that having kids and bringing 108 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: up kids in Australia is going to be okay. 109 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: They have a huge role and to talk about some 110 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 3: of those statistics. So this global survey discovered that thirty 111 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: nine percent of young people age between sixteen and twenty 112 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: five are hesitant to have children. Australia was a part 113 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: of this survey and forty three percent of young people 114 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: in Australia age between sixteen and twenty five a hesitant 115 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: to have children. Now, if that's not sending a strong 116 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: message to our elected representatives, then we have a problem. 117 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: And if governments aren't listening to the results of this 118 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: survey and realizing that they need to do more now. 119 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: They need to do more this decade to tackle climate change, 120 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 3: then where go to have a huge problem in the future. 121 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: So we know this is an issue and governments need 122 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: to take that into account when they're considering policy around 123 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: climate change. 124 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: Do we have any sort of inkling that the Australian 125 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: government has climate anxiety on their agenda in terms of 126 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: holistic climate response, Well. 127 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: Sam, it wouldn't appear that way, right. 128 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: Is there a pattern of any countries recognizing climate anxiety? 129 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: I think you could look at some of the scandy 130 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: countries who have much stronger ambitions when it comes to 131 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 3: tackling climate change. But if we look at Australia, we're 132 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: about a month or so away from a huge global 133 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: conference on climate change and where yet to reveal our 134 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: intentions to announce new stronger targets on climate change. And 135 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: this all drills into why young people are feeling so 136 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: sad and anxious. It's because there's so much uncertainty about 137 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 3: what our elected representatives want to do in the future, 138 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: and as it stands, it's nowhere near enough. 139 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you more about Glasgow because I 140 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a really important moment in 141 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: the global response to climate change. If you could wish 142 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: for one or two key takeaways from that conference, what 143 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: would the ACF be looking for? What do you want 144 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: to see at the end of that So. 145 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: To come back to basics a little bit. In November, 146 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: there's a huge conference called COP twenty six. Now I 147 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: don't know about you, Sam, but with all of these 148 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: climate stories, there are so many acronyms, and COP for 149 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 3: those wondering, I had to do a little google a 150 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: little while back. That stands for Conference of Parties and 151 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: twenty six. It's a twenty sixth time this has happened. 152 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,479 Speaker 3: Countries around the world come together, and this one's important 153 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: because countries need to indicate their long term strategy. And 154 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: so if we're looking for some key takeaways that ACF wants, 155 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: we want Australia to commit to a target. They haven't 156 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 3: even committed to a target of twenty to fifty yet, 157 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: but we don't even want to talk about twenty fifty. 158 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: We want to talk about this decade and we need 159 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: our elected representatives to set stronger targets to cut emissions 160 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: in Australia this decade. 161 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: It's interesting you picked up on that acronym point actually, 162 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: because I think a lot of the climate anxiety in 163 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: young people stems from a few gaps in our education 164 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: around A what the problems are and what they look like, 165 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: and b how to solve them. Is climate education something 166 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: that you think should be part of a school curriculum. 167 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: Have we gotten to that point in the climate journey 168 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: that it's now mandatory to learn about the dangers of 169 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: climate change? And do you think that would actually help 170 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: our anxiety? 171 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Education is everything, and it's part of my job 172 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: as a climate communicator to help relieve some of that 173 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: stress and anxiety for young people and for anybody listening now. 174 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 3: I think it's I don't want people to feel stress 175 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: and anxiety by all the bad news out there when 176 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 3: it comes to climate change. What young people can do is, 177 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: if they're not getting their education at home or in 178 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: their schools, they can educate themselves. And by doing that, 179 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 3: they can come and see what ACF is doing, for example, 180 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: and there's another acronym, the Australian Conservation Foundation. They can 181 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: come and join us and see what we're doing. And 182 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: we have very clear pathways for young people to equip 183 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: them with knowledge to tackle climate change. And be able 184 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: to feel like they're part of this movement. And let 185 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: me tell you now, Sam, if there's one thing I 186 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: can say with certainty, it's that people power works. People 187 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: power especially works in an election year. Now we know 188 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: that the federal government needs to call an election before May. 189 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: So if people are feeling young, people are feeling stressed 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: and anxious about the state of climate, we can unite. 191 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 3: We can come together and I urge anybody listening to 192 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: this podcast to check out the work we do. 193 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: What do you say to people who say that it 194 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what actions Australia takes because climate change is 195 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: dominated by these big global players. 196 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 3: Well, what I say to them, it's just no excuse. 197 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 3: You know, Australia has this opportunity to become a clean 198 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: energy superpower. And what I mean by that it's so simple, Sam. 199 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 3: We have so much sun, we have so much wind, 200 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: and we can decarbonize and go to renewables and become 201 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: a global leader. Now Australia is getting left behind on 202 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 3: the global stage, and to be frank with you, it's embarrassing. 203 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: We have the technologies here in place to be able 204 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 3: to change that. What we need now is for our 205 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: elected representatives to start listening and especially start listening to 206 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: young people, with sixty four percent of young people in 207 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: Australia said they felt dismissed by adults when it comes 208 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: to talking about climate change. That's not good enough. 209 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Leave us with some hope, frayer, leave us feeling like 210 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 211 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: What action or movement or change in attitude are you 212 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: seeing on the ground that leaves you wanting to have 213 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: children and believing in a climate friendly future. 214 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Sam, because that's something I'm really passionate about. 215 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: It's hope. There's no point being negative, too down in 216 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: the dumps about this. We actually need to flip that. 217 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: We need to reverse that and work together and come 218 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 3: together to achieve the action we want. And I think 219 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 3: we can do it. 220 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: I also think we can do it. I see a 221 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: lot of amazing ideas come out in our comment section 222 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: whenever we're reporting on climate and I can sense that 223 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: a lot of young people are actually thinking about dedicating 224 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: their careers to assisting in our logical ways to get 225 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: out of the climate disaster. 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we have so many smart people. We had the 227 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: athletes come out recently and throw their support on climate 228 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: change and I think there's a lot to be hopeful 229 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: for in that way, and I think we now just 230 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: need our elected representatives to start listening to us, and 231 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 3: we have that opportunity at the federal election. 232 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: It's going to be a really big potentially six months 233 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: maybe sorter than that before the next federal election, and 234 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: climate is going to be one of the major issues. Freya, 235 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: it would be wonderful to check in with you throughout 236 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: that election. That was Freer Cole from the Australian Conservation Foundation. 237 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for your time. 238 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I'll be very happy to come 239 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: back anytime you want me. 240 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: That brings us to the end of another week of 241 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: the Dally Oos podcast.
