Statistic of seniors wanting action on climate change rose 'up to 77 per cent' in 2021

National Seniors Chief Advocate Ian Henschke says the statistic of seniors wanting action on climate change, even if cost of living increases, has risen up to 77 per cent in 2021. We also did a survey that was in 21, and it was our National Seniors Social Survey, which found back then that 85 per cent of older Australians believed that climate change was a problem and that they would be prepared to pay some money to fix it, Mr Henschke told Sky News Australia. Also, the proportion of older Australians who want action, even if living cost increases, thats increased up to 77 per cent, so that would probably be around the 80 per cent mark now. He said it's a possibility Australians will see massive surprises in the upcoming election, with many seniors wanting action on climate change, especially after the recent floods in parts of Queensland and NSW.
