"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 on Wednesday 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."

Smart move. Let’s hope it gets results!

Cheers,
