  • Summary

  • In this episode we speak with a Sydney mum - she didn't want her name attached to the episode, because she wanted to speak more freely than she otherwise would have. Or maybe she wouldn't have done the interview at all.

    The conversation charts her story of growing up in regional NSW in a Liberal/LNP voting family. She tells how she herself moved from a conservative position, unaware of the climate crisis, to the other side of the political spectrum.
