Ep 134: Climate Change Vox Pops in Paddington

With climate change seemingly falling off the agenda of Australia's major political parties in the lead-up to the 2010 federal election, I wanted to see whether this inaction reflected the views of the community. I headed down to Paddington Markets, on Oxford St in Paddington, Sydney for some vox pops. This area falls within the federal seat of Wentworth, whose member is perhaps the only member of the Liberal Party willing to act on climate change, Malcolm Turnbull. It borders the seat of Sydney, whose sitting member is Labor's Tanya Plibersek. Apparently we have much work to do. I made this video during a course on Video on the Web I am taking at Metroscreen. As it's vox pops you might think I have edited it down to this one-sided take on the topic, however this really does reflect the views of those I interviewed. I was very surprised, given Oxford Street's forward-thinking reputation.
