Zali Stegall (the independent who ousted Tony Abbott in the last election) is introducing a Climate Change bill to Parliament on 23 March.

Zali is calling for a conscience vote by MPs and asking all of us to contact our local members and urge them to vote for the Climate Change Act.

I watched most of the livestream of the National Climate Emergency Summit and one of the strongest messages was that we HAVE to make more noise, advocate more strongly for action with our local MPs, demand that they take action on our behalf.

At the Climate Act Now website, you can:

• Sign the petition calling on your MP to vote for the Climate Change Act, but very importantly, also:
• Follow up with a personalised email to your MP,
• Spread the word even further.
