We have a massive federal election coming up. But before we engage young people in some big policy debates, we have to go on a journey to understand what’s at play. Welcome to Young, Dumb & Informed - the four-part podcast that will arm young people with everything they need to get involved in dinner table conversations ahead of the next federal election.

Today, we look at Australia's climate crisis - and how senior politicians in the Nationals and Greens Party are approaching this major election topic. We’re obsessed with making sure young people have the right content before they get hit with a wave of pre-election news.

Young, Dumb & Informed is presented by political journalist Billi FitzSimons, and produced by The Daily Aus.
