wealth inequality is something that has been increasing well prior to the pandemic. - Jan Fran #TheDrum (2/6)
"Our actions or - lack thereof - on climate change is something of increasing concerns for my generation and the next generation, and particularly those who come after." #TheDrum (3/6)
"Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, these are real, tangible and will affect an entire generation - if not two - of people, right?" - Jan Fran #TheDrum (4/6)
"That's the real question: How well are we doing in regards to how well we could be doing, and how well we know that we could be doing?
In many ways the pandemic has - not really created these issues, but is at risk of exacerbating them." - Jan Fran #TheDrum (5/6)
"Ultimately it will be my generation and the generation after mine that will have to be paying for them." - Jan Fran #TheDrum (6/6)

“Unfortunately, I am one of 680-odd people and families that everything has changed a lot for. We're just processing what's happened at the moment. That's all that you can do.” Kim McDonald lost her home in fires #bushfiresNSW#TheDrum
