What if we (the Australian people) took control of the next Federal Election? Part 3 - Sarah Wilson

Overwhelmed by climate change? Want to make an impact?

Tune in to the third episode of my deep dive into the hypothetical question “What if we (the Australian people) took control of the next Federal Election?

Join me as I sit down with Sarah Wilson, best-selling author, podcaster, climate activist, philanthropist and so much more. 

While Sarah is not running in the upcoming Federal Election, she is working hard on the campaign trail to get Aussies to vote in a “climate safe” way.  This got me to wondering, what would a “best case scenario” for climate look like in terms of outcomes in the next Federal Election? Tune in to find out.   

Today we cover: 

• How the campaign trail for a “climate safe” Australian Federal Parliament is going. 
• How Australian climate policy shapes up on the global stage. 
• I ask Sarah to imagine a best-case scenario for climate in this Federal Election (that is strategically achievable) – and to describe the mechanics of what this Parliament might feasibly look like. 
• The amazing independents running in this Federal Election and the underlying commonalities of their policy platforms.
• The kind of policies we need to see implemented following the Federal Election to rapidly and radically address the climate crisis (that are practically achievable).
• The importance of anti-corruption measures to limit the funding and power of fossil fuel companies.
•  The role of Climate200 in backing community supported Independents.
• Strategies to engage the community to vote on climate; 
• The importance of enrolling to vote and how optimising enrolment could radically impact the outcome in this Federal Election (LAST DAY TO ENROL TO VOTE IS MONDAY 18 APRIL 2022 - https://www.aec.gov.au/enrol/). 
• I nerd out by asking Sarah a question on her creative process and Jungian theory – that we manage to relate back to the Federal Election (to keep it tidy).
