Socialist Alliance upper house candidate Isaac Nellist talks to Suzanne James about the Alliance campaign for the March 25 NSW State election.

View online: https://www.greenleft.org.au/video/socialist-alliance-nsw-elections

They discuss life as a young person in 2023 Australia, the greed-driven housing crisis, including the relentless sell-off of public housing to developer interests, the critical fight for tenant’s rights, and the struggle to address the existential threat of climate change.

Isaac also outlines strategies to positively engage young people in politics in the face of rampant political self-interest.
