The privilege our generation must not squander - the ability to act to change human history for hundreds of years in the future. Yes, Christiana Figueres is an inspiring & charismatic thinker! #ClimateChange #TheFutureWeChoose

There is a lot of energy amongst young people that we must tap into in addressing #ClimateChange. Blame is unhelpful as is anger - we need to rise above these emotions. Christiana Figueres #TheFutureWeChoose

A good reminder. It takes many, but not everyone.

#TheFutureWeChoose Christiana Figueres on 'stubborn optimism' - optimism is not the result of achieving something (that's celebration). It's the input not output- the deliberate choice of an action - a strategy. A way of changing the outlook to life. Have to be gritty about it (stubborn)

‘Stubborn optimism’. Hearing Christiana Figueres on this idea reminds me what an important quality optimism is. It is a deliberate choice we can make to hope, believe, act and succeed. Stubbornness is also a good thing - when it’s for the common good! #TheFutureWeChoose TheHawkeCentre

Educating girls and giving women opportunity is one of the most important responses to climate change. Christiana Figueres #TheFutureWeChoose

A final message: “We cannot afford the luxury of feeling we are powerless” in responding to #ClimateChange. Even big companies are made out of individuals and individuals make decisions! Christiana Figueres #TheFutureWeChoose

Just about every meeting and event in my calendar this week has been cancelled. The only meeting still going ahead is the Parliamentary "End of Life Choices Committee" 😳 #saparli

Stay home! Avoid unnecessary travel! Unless of course, you need to go out to kill ducks - that is still allowed. So, we can now add “irresponsible” to the normal descriptors of “deplorable and obscene”. The duck killing season opens tomorrow morning. #saparli #coronavirusau

No unnecessary travel - unless it’s to kill wildlife! Minister Speirs should call an end to the killing now! BTW, check out the “ducks” on the Govt web page. #saparli

Hi @cporterwa Mark Speakman @JillHennessyMP @VickieChapmanMP @NatashaFyles Yvette D'Ath MP At the Council of A-G meeting you'll have the opportunity to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to at least 14 to stop locking up kids as young as 10 as per my Bill in #saparli

Now that Australia’s chief law officers have squibbed the chance to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14, it’s time for SA to step up and show leadership. How about it @VickieChapmanMP? We can debate my Bill in #saparli later this year.

If you are near a screen today at 4pm Adelaide time, you can tune in to my "valedictory" speech, along with my colleague Tammy Franks MLC. Tomorrow, MPs from other parties will make their contributions. The link today is: parliament.sa.gov.au/.../About.../L… #saparli The Greens SA SA Young Greens

It's been a while. Last month I retired from State Parliament as a The Greens SA MP and handed the baton over to the wonderful Robert Simms MLC Rob was sworn in last week and is already making a mark. He's well worth following for lowdown on #saparli I'll still tweet now and then too.
