Community Panel Discussion - Climate. "A Sensible Approach to Climate: What does our community think?"
2022-04-28 18:00 - 20:00 | St Columba Anglican School Chapel, 3 Iona Ave,, Port Macquarie, NSW, 2444, Australia
This public forum is an opportunity to explore the ample common ground and areas of disagreementÂ on this important issue, practicingÂ respectful climate change discussion as a constructive basis for moving forward as we move forward.Â OurÂ Panelists are localsÂ from diverse political leanings and walks of life, bringing in different perspectives, concerns, and solutions.
WHO? Â Â Â
MC:Â Ross Cargill,Â Managing Director of Men and Women at Work.
PanelÂ Facilitator:Â Jane Evans,Â Adjunct Senior Lecturer at CSU.Â
Panelists:

Â Â Leslie Williams – Port Macquarie State Member of Parliament
Â Â Â DrÂ Gordon Burch – Former SCAS Chairman, Comboyne community groups.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Theresa Cochrane â€“ Proud young Dunghutti Gumbaynggirr woman studying environmental science and management at CSU
Â Â Â DrÂ Angela Frimberger – PM Chamber of Commerce, Deputy ChairÂ VeterinariansÂ for Climate Action

Â Â Â Â Â Â Georgia Ritchie â€“ Medical Oncologist at MNCLHD Cancer Institute
Â Â Â Â Â Â Brian Tierney â€“ Long-time local developer and active community member

Why now?Â Community members may be aware that Port Macquarie-Â HastingsÂ Council has recently rescinded its previous Climate Emergency Declaration. However, fewer people know that Council is moving toward revoking Council’s general Climate Policy. Â This prompted several Councillors (Sheppard, Lipovac, Edwards and Intemann)Â to organise a respectful and fact-basedÂ community discussion on climate in the local context, as a basis forÂ constructive action into the future. (**Please note that this is not a â€˜Councilâ€™ event. Rather, these Councillors consider this issue is of sufficient community interest that this event is organised independently.**)
Questions with Notice from the Audience: Please emailÂ pmhdiscussionpanel@gmail.comÂ for consideration of your questions.
