Sure.
Yeah, I went to COP.
I'd never been to something like that.
I actually went to try... I was trying to raise money for a conservation project I was involved in in Zimbabwe with my brother, but ended up chatting to a whole bunch of Australians and then meeting these delegates from all over the world, and particularly the Europeans and some of the Nordic countries,
We're just saying like, what on earth are you guys doing?
Like you have phenomenal renewable resources.
That's the direction everyone's heading in.
You could be setting yourselves up to be kind of the renewable superpower and actually, you know, doing things like green steel, actually having all these exports where rather than just shipping iron ore, you're selling something that's far more valuable.
And, you know, at the time we clearly didn't have that.
That leadership from the Morrison government.
I think to the Albanese government's credit, there's a real move in that direction.
As an independent, I'd say we're probably not going fast enough.
Like, I do think this is a race.
And if you talk to people working in the field, I think there's a real urgency around really trying to essentially be first to market on some of these things and become a really reliable organisation.
um provider of it um and yeah so i came away from that this is before i even even decided to run with a real sense of yeah what are we doing as a country what is it what is our what is our vision uh for the future
Why are we such a wealthy country but we're the world leaders in extinction and we have this real lack of investment in landscapes and wildlife?
All these things that you'd say are uniquely and iconically Australian.
What's more Australian than some of these landscapes, than some of these incredible marsupials?
And yet we don't really...
We don't really seem to care too much about them when it really comes down to the dollars and cents and the budget and the priorities.
