This was after he had 3 TIMES rung for an ambulance and 3 TIMES Serco had cancelled the ambulance.

Are you on an enterprise agreement? You need to know this. Your employer can now give you 24hours notice to vote to change your agreement. What should you do?

The shame of thinking about your own carbon footprint can be paralysing.
Don't let it stop you from speaking up and taking more widespread and effective action on climate change.

Two months ago politicians told students to go back to school when they took to the street demanding climate action.

Today, 600 schools across NSW are shut because of bushfires made worse by climate change.

Politicians need to listen.

I hear from different sources that many youth climate activists travelling to the UN Youth Climate Summit have not been given US visas in time for their travel.

If you could start to interact under this tweet, maybe journalists and others can help you speed up the process.

Here's what students are striking for today:

• No new coal, oil & gas projects, including the Adani mine
• 100% renewable energy generation & exports by 2030
•Fund a just transition & job creation for all fossil-fuel workers & communities

Let's make it happen #ClimateStrike
