Election time is here again and it is clear that the main parties still have no comprehension of the scale of the real issues of climate change and species loss that are already starting to manifest. Or of the stressful nature of modern life.

I urge anyone with children and grandchildren to think carefully about this before placing a cross on the ballot paper, today.

And that a no vote is a vote for the status quo.
