Environmental issues and climate change are Australian children’s top concerns

Unicef Australia's young ambassador Josh Brittain said views on the environment tended to become bleaker as children got older. The 20-year-old said children and young people were asked to name the first thing that popped into their head when they thought of the environment.

Eighty-five per cent said that they solidly held their own views, with 37 per cent saying adults encourage them to think for themselves. But Mr Brittain said many felt their views on issues like climate change were not taken seriously, particularly by political leaders, reflected in the massive climate strikes in Australia led by young people in September.

Unicef Australia director Nicole Breeze said the survey results reinforced the need for a national youth peak body to be funded to provide a channel for children and young people to directly influence policies that matter to them.

Is there are more poorly educated and naive group. Proud of their ignorance?

was when the boomer were children also

Final 1) No, didn’t see it on 2) Twitter journalists can’t afford to spend hrs reading opinion & narrative links; we do news & edgy research 3) Twitter grows dialogue when users focus on the big social themes: eg. here: medicalising kids Ur servant 💓, J. auspol

But unfortunately ScottMorrisonMP doesn’t actually care about the next generation and beyond because if he did, he would get off his arse and start moving Australia towards renewable energy rather than COAL - after all, that’s what Australians are demanding (and asking for)...

only a foolish pig walks into a slaughter house feeling optimistic :P

I'm waiting for them all to announce they don't want Xmas presents this year - Saint Greta of Thunberg opposes consumerism

2 round off: 1) No didn’t see it on - Twitter journalists cannot afford to burn up hours reading opinion & narrative links; we do ‘hard news’ & ace research 2) Twitter grows dialogue when users focus on the big social themes: eg. medicalising kids Ur servant 💓, J

You surely mean, idiots Greens whipped up children into frenzy? 🤪

Err more like we listened to Al Gore & Tim Flannery, then judged them on what they predicted would happen by now.

Not any sane children I know think that . Another load of leftist garbage from sbs .

2/2 great E. Fromm, these parent figures coerced & induced fear & self-hatred in pre-pubescent kids which thwarted their developing egos confusion & psychoemotional distress as weirdly displayed in 2 stupid climate denial responses here. Do real news. Shame ! auspol

1/2 ..but all their elders did was kick their heads, call them terrorists, order them to study Christian cult jibberisch & forbid them on pain of disinheritance & future arrest & detention from expressing personal opinions! In the psychiatry of aggression, after the auspol ../2

Oh to be young again. Listen kids, as you get older you’ll realise that the generations before you have fucked it all up. Don’t get angry about it. Just remember when you get old future generations will be disappointed in you as well.

You mean maturity and wisdom ? reviewsbs

Guess why, because it is a scam. The older you get the more evidence you see.
