No matter what they say, or don’t say, climate change remains the greatest moral challenge of our time.
Now I have been a rusted on true believer since my political baptism during the Whitlam years: But cometh the hour.
My Labor are no longer on the side of the Angels, and the Coalition is a right wing rag-tag of ratbags. I won’t vote for either. So, no matter what horrors I wake to on July 3 I will suck it up; but only if there are enough Greens in the Senate to hold somebody’s – anybody’s – fricken feet to the fire.
Vote Green…please.
