"I am driving from the other side of the country for climate camp because I believe it is vitally important. I am inspired by the leadership shown by young people in relation to the need for action on climate change, and this has been evidenced in recent direct actions and in the organising of climate camp. The campaign against climate change led by young people in Australia is inclusive, inspiring, creative, fun, educational, articulate and a great example of true grassroots democracy and decision making. It is action-focused and it is happening now.
"This is in stark contrast to the current corporate-government system which is completely failing. We need a truly clean, renewable future - not corporate toxic subsidising of the coal and nuclear industries. And we need to listen to the people this will have the most impact on."
