Warming walk for Greens candidate

 

Greens candidate for Robertson Ms Mira Wroblewski joined the local Walk Against Warming in Woy Woy on Sunday, November 11, to express her commitment to a strong action on climate change.

Ms Wroblewski was also a guest speaker at the Climate Change Forum at the CWA Hall, Woy Woy, following the march.

"The local community here has so much to lose if we don't make significant reductions in our greenhouse emissions," Ms Wroblewski said.

"The efforts of individuals and communities can only go so far if the Federal government does not have the courage to make the transition to renewable energy.

"Both the Coalition and the Labor party continue to base their policies on mythical technologies such as 'clean coal.'"

Ms Wroblewski said that with the right leadership the Central Coast could be a centre for renewable energies, creating more jobs and economic growth.

"The Greens have been at the forefront of the climate change debate for decades now," Ms Wroblewski said.

"When Bob Brown spoke of this threat in Parliament over 10 years ago he was uniformly ridiculed.

"It has taken a long time for the major parties to wake up.

"The Greens climate change policy has consistently been recognised by environmental organisations, such as the Australian Conservation Foundation, as the best on offer at this election."

Ms Wroblewski said she demands that the next Federal Government, whether it is Coalition or Labor, acts in the best interests of all children and the planet.

"Voting 1 for the Greens in the Senate will ensure real action from the old parties, rather than vague electioneering," Ms Wroblewski said.
