Our children are looking to us. They see the fires, floods, and rising heat and ask: will our adults act in time?
Right now, the answer isn’t good enough. Since coming to power, Labor has approved 32 new coal and gas projects (!) and our local MP Justine Elliot has failed to stand up for real climate action. The only party taking a firm stand against new fossil fuels is the Greens.
This election, we have a simple but powerful choice: vote for a liveable future. Voting for urgent climate action protects the places we love, the water we drink, and the future our kids deserve. It’s one of the most meaningful ways to create real change.
Let’s also talk to our friends, neighbours, and community about why this matters. The wellbeing that comes from knowing we’re doing everything we can for our children is priceless.
Our kids are counting on us. Let’s show them that when they asked us to act, we listened.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
