Q1: What about the grim prospect of an "inhospitable" future - time to act on the climate crisis?
44:15 Jackie Carter - yes act now
45:05 Clive Crosby - have to work in with States and Territories, hard to accelerate
46:10 Dr Monique Ryan - yes, need to consider a wider response

Q2: Fossil fuel subsidies
47:54 Dr Monique Ryan - $10bn diesel rebate a big waste, should only go to smaller entities and farmers
49:38 Clive Crosby - it's a credit for not on public roads
51:00 Jackie Carter - it's a fossil subsidy

Q3 - Donation reform
52:21 Clive Crosby - we acted on independent advice
53:45 Jackie Carter - our democracy is for sale, needs public funding
54:36 Dr Monique Ryan - we need fair elections not this stitch up to lock out independents and disadvantage minor parties

Q4 - Support for electrification
57:06 Jackie Carter - $ 5k individual grants, $10k business grants
57:55 Dr Monique Ryan - need support for renters, low income, support various good schemes, $50bn support would be massively better than $600bn on nuclear!

Q5 - Native forest logging, why and what you/your party do about it?
1:01:30 Jackie Carter - end native forest logging
1:02:16 Clive Crosby - would like to see the end
1:03:40 Dr Monique Ryan - logging going to States a disaster - still a lot of "salvage" logging going on, EPBC has been weakened for WA, take protection back federally, have functional EPA

Q6 - Nuclear/AUKUS
1:06:20 Dr Monique Ryan - we need urgent action, nuclear is not cost effective and would take too long - sat on 4 months of hearings, could cost $600bn and stop transition to renewables
1:07:24 Clive Crosby - no nuclear, not fast enough, not enough water, not enough power
1:08:12 Jackie Carter - nuclear is a distraction

Q7 - Individual Questions
1:10:37 Q to Jackie Carter If we failed to see progress of policies, why should people vote for the Greens
1:11:18 Jackie Carter -Labor needs a team of people pushing them to act faster.
1:12:10 Q to Clive Crosby - Maugean skate had survived the extinction event that ended the dinosaurs but may not survive the Albanese govt. Given lack of action on climate and nature laws, why vote Labor?
1:12:56 Clive Crosby - EPBC modification to protect the salmon industry for jobs. We have been working with State government on a breeding program.
1:14:28 Q for Dr Monique Ryan - Who would she support in a hung parliament, why vote Independent
1:15:25 Dr Monique Ryan - Productive representation - policies that work for Kooyong, not for lobby groups or Gina Rinehart.

Q8 - For a first time voter, why would they vote for you
1:18:10 Clive Crosby - Labor does care for young people, not nuclear nonsense
1:18:48 Jackie Carter - we are a party of climate action - vote to push Labor
1:19:40 Dr Monique Ryan - intergenerational equity, HECs, housing crisis, will advocate for tax reform as well as climate action
