PM: “Recently Youth Decide 09 Australia conducted Australia’s first ever youth vote on climate change. It was done over a week in mid September. Nearly 14,000 young Austrlaia’s between 12 and 29 voted on what they wanted to inherit. 97.5 per cent voted for stronger emissions target than we are currently proposing…. By the way, on Youth Decide, I’m told my office met with their representatives yesterday and were incredibly impressed by the broad range of action that young people have taken on climate change. Much more for us all to do.”
Despite the fact that he got the number wrong – it was actually around 37,500 young people – at least he’s taking notice of the results.
