Lena Huda

Lena Huda has only lived in Australia for a couple of years so far, but has already had more influence here than many achieve in their lifetime. Despite being a busy mother of four young children spaced just two years apart in age, since arriving here, Lena has thrown herself into full-time advocacy work. She’s co-founded two organisations: 30 Please is asking for the speed limits on our local streets to be reduced to 30 kilometres per hour, Australia-wide. Safe Streets to School is advocating for a range of measures that will make it safer for our kids to walk or ride to school. In this episode, Lena explains her motivations and experiences, having grown up in Germany where she could walk and cycle independently from a young age. Despite her shock when arriving in Australia and seeing how unsafe conditions are here, she’s calmly set about changing her newly adopted homeland.
