‘We need to support the brave kids protesting, as it’s their future at risk. It’s time to focus solely on renewable energy sources and walk away from burning fossil fuels and the creation of new oils.
‘It’s not about convenience anymore, it’s about the future of the planet. I’m so proud of those who are marching in my new home town, Byron Bay, and I stand behind them all.’
‘To those who are in power and have the ability to help fix this crisis, please take this seriously,’ she concluded.
