Rob Priestly (pictured) has put himself forward and as an independent candidate for the Federal Seat of Nicholls and so will stand against the incumbent, National Party member, Damian Drum.

Along with his brother Phil, Rob runs the Shepparton/Mooroopna-based Gouge Linen and Garment Services, providing its resource to customers through Victoria.

Rob understands the challenges of achieving success in the National Party held electorate and on his website, "Rob Priestly for Nicholls", he is trying to enlist "the army" of volunteers he said is needed to wrest the seat from Mr Drum.

Anika Molesworth is an agroecology scientist, a farmer and now, importantly, an author. 

The far western New South Wales farmer is passionately interested in and concerned about food security, nature conservation, rural community development, and climate change.

Being eager to read about those issues, but without the usual doom and gloom surrounding those topics and in books mostly devoid of hope, Anika went searching for her ideal book only to be confronted by bare shelves and so she fell upon her only option - write the book herself and "Our Sunburn Country" is the outcome.

At just 12-years-old, Anika moved with her parents to their far western New South Wales farm and almost immediately fell in love with the seemingly endless horizons, the boundless array of wildlife populating the area and, with her family, witnessed the differences that climate change was bringing to the property.

Anika has buried herself in learning what climate change means for the family's farm, farmers more broadly, Australian people generally and, of course, the world.

She currently sits on the Board of Directors of Farmers for Climate Action.

Simon Holmes à Court (pictured) is the man behind Climate 200 who, with his team, is doing what he can change the face of government in Australia by having climate-conscious independents elected to represent us (citizens) in Canberra.

Climate 200 says: "Australia's political system is too broken to tackle climate change, and big polluters are determined to keep it that way.

Simon, in this podcast, has thrown his support behind the recently announced independent candidate for the northern Victorian Seat of Nicholls, Rob Priestly.
