David Pocock on voting for ‘not great’ policy and how he wants to fix it

David Pocock admits that sometimes he's had to vote for policy he doesn’t fully agree with.

The first-term senator came into parliament with the best intentions to avert the climate crisis, but has sometimes found himself having to work to make legislation he thinks is bad, a little bit better.

Now, he’s trying to put forward a solution he does actually believe in: a private senator’s bill that would force politicians to consider the impact on the health and wellbeing of future generations when they make decisions on climate.

Today, independent senator David Pocock on his new bill and whether he’s always lived up to his own duty of care for future generations.
