Mr HIBBINS (Prahran)

1177 locals have signed the Prahran climate emergency declaration.

I want to say thank you.

I’m taking your voice to Parliament.

The declaration is about demanding stronger action on climate change from our governments.

We are in a climate emergency.

We are already experiencing the effects of climate change, like bushfires and heatwaves.

The solutions are here and now to beyond coal and gas with clean energy and clean transport.

Our governments need to go further and faster on climate action.
