In this episode we discuss the election outcome, the role young people played in and canvas some of the big issues which young people need this Parliament to tackle. We also reflect on where the election result leaves young people and climate change and how they might be addressed in the new Parliament. 

We are joined by Jane Body from Think Forward who helps us understand how the lens of intergenerational equity can help open up new and exciting possibilities for tackling the big issues - for young people and the wider electorate.
