Climate awareness in schools
Craughwell seeks the Leader’s view on primary school children and climate change, prompting a general reply that young people can be powerful advocates and should be encouraged. The exchange remains light and unfinished, with the chair limiting further back-and-forth.
Following on from climate change I was looking for the Leader's view on kids from national schools.

Any opportunity to raise awareness of climate change in all sections and ages of society is important. I will be happy to have a discussion with the Senator about the students many of whom, to be fair, have been very responsible, have raised awareness and educated many of a different generation about the importance of this issue.

Very often the young child can be as powerful as an adult regarding climate change. They have an obligation to have a debate on it.

The Leader will not be drawn on it.
