Many of us have been concerned about human induced global heating since the late 1980's or even earlier. As individuals we have worked to lead by example or, in the case of Extinction Rebellion, by disruptive protest. Emissions have continued to rise and heating of the oceans is rising exponentially. Vote Climate One maintains that we have generally failed here in Australia because none of our strategies have created the political will needed at a national level.
We are convinced that this political will could emerge from the creation of minority government. With global temperatures already at 1.5C above the pre industrial average, the next Federal election seems like our last chance to turn the ship around. Labor needs to be pulled back to say seventy seats to create a situation where they are compelled to negotiate the support of a progressive cross bench to form government.
