Samantha Ratnam, Victorian Greens – Recycling Crisis & Gender Markers on Birth Certificates

Sat, 03 Aug 2019 01:01:21 +0000

Samantha Ratnam, leader of the Victorian Greens, joins Tom and Mikey to discuss some of the big issues she’s tackling in parliament right now.

With recycling company SKM going under, a lot of recyclable materials will be dumped in landfill, so the Victorian Greens have called on the government to invest in a $50m recycling plant which could handle more than half of Victoria’s plastic recyclables.
The Greens are supporting the current bill to simplify changing gender markers on birth certificates, which is important for trans and gender diverse Victorians.
