Victorian Election 2022
"The climate collapse has started. The only chance we have of saving our kids is to reverse global warming, but we must start this now and achieve negative emissions in under ten years. We have the technology, we just lack the politicians who care enough to act." - Adrian Whitehead
I am running for my local seat of Northcote, as a climate emergency independent.
I am running against Kat Theophanous from the Australian Labor Party.
The Victorian Labor party has adopted sucidial 2030 and 2050 emission targets, has failed to take the necessary action to play its part in reversal of global warming, is promoting the expansion of the gas industry, funding the destruction of native forests, and introduced the worlds first EV tax. In 2022 this combination of action and inaction constitute nothing less than a crime against humanity.
