Mark Conroy (pictured) has been a full-time climate activist for the past two years and so has aligned himself with Extinction Rebellion and through that has helped raise the public's awareness that accelerated action on the climate issue is of critical importance.

Violet Coco was discussed during our conversation, and Violet, who had disrupted traffic on The Sydney Harbour Bridge for about 25 minutes and was subsequently gaoled for 15 months (she's presently released on bail awaiting a March appeal hearing) was a guest on an earlier episode published on "Climate Conversations".
