2025 is not a climate election.
Young people voted in droves in 2022 for change, in what was dubbed the ‘climate election’.
Yet new polling shows the number of younger Australians listing climate as their top concern has halved since the last election.
In its place, cost of living dominates.
TDA unpacks why climate change and the environment have subsided as top concerns for young voters, who are instead focusing on how politicians can help reduce financial stress.
Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Emma Gillespie
