Over 400 people attended our forum in Hawthorn Arts Centre on Tuesday 30 October. 

Forum short videos
Our editors have now finished syncing up the sound and vision and chopping up the long video into some bite sized chunks so you can listen again to what our candidates and speakers had to say about the topic of our recent packed out forum – Climate Change, Why Should I Care?

Oliver Yates certainly didn’t hold back – listen to his blunt advice on creating climate impact with your vote in a two minute, shareable short on YouTube – or join in the conversation on our Facebook post.

Here are the full 5 minute presentations from these speakers and candidates on YouTube.
