Australian Government sued by 23-year-old Melbourne student over financial risks of climate change
Someone who believes that Governments know the future:
A 23-year-old Melbourne law student is suing the Australian Government for failing to disclose the risk climate change poses to Australians' super and other safe investments.
The world-first case filed today in the Federal Court alleges the Government, as well as two government officials, failed in a duty to disclose how climate change would impact the value of government bonds.
Katta O'Donnell, the head litigant for the class action suit, said she hoped the case would change the way Australia handled climate change.
"I'm suing the Government because I'm 23 [and] I think I need to be aware of the risks to my money and to the whole of society and the Australian economy," Ms O'Donnell said.
"I think the Government needs to stop keeping us in the dark so we can be aware of the risks that we're all faced with."
