It's terrific that young people want to get active on the issues that matter to them. Young people want to see the government take serious action on climate change. We share their strong feelings. We don't want to see students missing out on schoolwork. There are plenty of opportunities for young people to campaign for climate action outside of school time, including on school holidays and weekends, and we would be the first to support them. The Labor Party is the only party of government committed to action on climate change, with a commitment to 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030 and an energy policy that delivers certainty for industry, lowers power prices and ensures more reliability.
