  • Aussie Climate? Aussie Voters Decide?

    Are you an Australian voter concerned about climate change? Wondering what our politicians are actually planning to do about it?

    The upcoming 2025 election is shaping up to be a climate change showdown. Independent MPs are demanding that the major parties reveal their 2035 emissions targets before Australians head to the polls. [1-4] They argue that voters deserve to know if the parties are "fair dinkum" about tackling this critical issue. [3]

    This podcast will explore:

    • How climate change is already impacting Australia - from worsening bushfires and floods to rising costs for groceries, electricity, and insurance. [1, 5]
    • What the major parties are (and aren't) saying about their climate plans. Are they listening to the science? [2] Will their actions match their words?
    • The growing influence of independent MPs and climate-conscious voters. Can they sway the balance of power and force real action on climate change? [5]

      • Join us as we examine the climate policies, the political maneuvering, and the voices of everyday Australians who are demanding a safer, more sustainable future.
