Parliament

A huge and heartfelt thanks to Chlöe Swarbrick for visiting us from across this ditch for the last few days. Our whole state is enamoured with your sharp take on the state of politics! You’re a pretty excellent human and we’re lucky to have you fighting the good fight with us for a better planet. Mau tere haumaru. [photo description - Jordon and Chlöe are laughing]

We made quite a stir this morning when we announced our plans to lower the voting age in Australia to 16. There are almost 600,000 folks aged 16-17 in Australia and 42,000 of them are already on the roll! What do you think about it?
