Interview: Anjali Sharma eager to see a 'duty of care' impact all government decisions, especially those that worsen climate change

Anjali Sharma (pictured) played a lead role in arguing that the Federal Government owed all young Australians a duty to take reasonable care to protect them from climate change harm - they case initially fell in their favour, but then was lost on appeal. Anjali and her contemporaries not disheartened by that "defeat", continued with preparation of their argument and now with the support of Australian Capital Territory Senator, David Pocock, a private members Bill calling for a duty of care is now before the Senate. People can learn more about the BIll's proposals through the Duty of Care website.
