This Get Up lot are a bit outside my experience but I fancy the Greens will be welcoming their growing participation in the political process. The group has just launched a climate change ad featuring a red-headed actress playing Prime Minister Julia Gillard suggesting several potential climate policies, including moving Australia to East Timor and distributing gas masks and snorkels. A young voter responds: “Why don’t we just put a price on pollution instead.”
I’ve not been able to find the climate ad yet but I do think that the Get Up election preview is more likely to get young people to enrol to vote than anything the official electoral office has produced.
