If climate change influenced the bulk of voters we would already have action.

I believe the science and think we're probably screwed.

But to put it bluntly the majority of voters don't give af.

How many elections do the deniers need to win before we wake up?

In my workplace in food manufacturing I am in the minority as someone who is worried about climate.

The majority think there is probably a change in climate but don't believe we can change this.

Others outright deny and believe the lies.

I believe I work very hard to politically educate and organise my workmates.

And I believe I have success most of the time.

But I have learnt the hard way that it must affect their back pocket to gain traction.

This election I will organise and campaign around #workchoices2 and its potential to smash our wages and conditions.

I know this will win votes.

My workmates believe the Tories can't be trusted in IR.

They don't care about the corruption, as they think all pollies are corrupt*

They don't care about refugees or race as it doesn't personally affect them*

They don't care about personality*

*The majority

If I do my job and we help change government, my workmates will be happy as #workchoices2 won't pass and they get to keep $.

I will be happy as I know Australia will get climate action, ir change and a federal ICAC.
Those who want purity in policy don't talk to workers.
