[19:50] In light of the global climate strike protests, youth climate activists have taken to the stage and become powerful voices in the global climate discussion. We listen to a series of speeches from activists on the front line of climate change. First we hear from Autumn Peltier, named the chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation. Then we hear from Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Youth Director of Earth Guardians.

[48:50] Suzanne Harter from the Australian Conservation Foundation gives us the lowdown on the disconnect between the recent youth-led climate strikes and current government climate policy. We discuss what steps are needed to move towards the required carbon emissions targets and some of the strategies that will help advance Australia towards being a green energy leader.

[1:28:56] Jennifer from the Democratic Overseas Chinese Group talks to us about the ongoing protests in Hong Kong and the more recent clashes in light of the 70 year rule of the Communist Party of China. She explains the continuing motivations for the protests and the rights that Hong Kong citizens are fighting for.
