Bushfires continue to burn across Australia and the outlook is for a drier and hotter summer than average. In Sydney, smoke from the fires has been declared a public health emergency with air quality reaching 12 times higher than hazardous levels. On this episode we are joined by two socialist activists from Sydney to discuss the crisis and response. Simone White is an ASU delegate and Chloe Rafferty is part of Uni Students for Climate Justice who led a protest of thousands in response to government inaction on December 11.
