The Minefield: Should Children Get the Vote? The Planet Talks - WOMADelaide 2022

SPEAKERS
Waleed Aly, Scott Stephens, Lisa Hill

ABC Radio National Podcast - Recorded live at WOMADelaide

If our current politics is failing our children, should they get a say in changing it? After all 16 and 17 years olds already pay taxes, work, drive, volunteer for political parties. Not that any of these are a pre-requisite for voting in Australia, so why exclude young people? Especially when the policy decisions made now will be felt for decades when it comes to things like energy, climate and the environment.
