Hello. It's not often you hear of a school student suing the government,
but Anjali Sharma made headlines around the world
when she did just that.
Now the teenager is going head-to-head with politicians
Now the teenager is going to change the law.
It's been a wild ride to change the law.
It's been a wild ride and it's far from over.
ANJALI: Being a young person and doing what you can
to put pressure on government and big polluters is no easy task.
There is so, so much work and emotional energy required
to have those tough conversations and to walk through hallways
where people your age usually don't walk through.
WOMAN: Anjali is like a lot of teenagers
who want the world to be a better place,
and I believe those in power do have a duty of care to young people.
At the age of 16, I sued the government
to protect us from the impacts of climate change.
We have stakes in this conversation.
This is our future.
(CHEERING)
Anjali's really latched on to that concept
that adults should take care of children and take care of matters
that will affect them in the future.
MAN: The crazy idea in Parliament this week,
that governments should have a duty of care to the next generation MAN: The crazy idea in Parliament this week,
that governments should have a duty of care to the next generation
that governments should have a duty when deciding legislation.
I personally don't think we need a bill or a court ruling
to tell me as a legislator that I have a duty of care.
The Australian people tell me that every three years.
I really hope that the government will come to the table
I really hope that the government with a constructive and open mind.
It's a lot of responsibility, with a constructive and open mind.
It's a lot of responsibility, and there's immense expectations
that are being placed upon her shoulders.
that are being placed MAN: The types of commentary
and the types of attacks on her were horrible.
MAN: I don't want to be aggressive with you, but if you're going to
MAN: I don't want to be aggressive throw that out there...
And what year are you in, by the way? About 10, 11?
I remember feeling incredibly dejected, incredibly, um, hopeless.
But that being said, it's also incredibly rewarding.
And seeing what young people can do when empowered
and given even a smidgin of the tools needed to make a difference,
and given even a smidgin of the tools has been amazing.
Let's go. Good girl.
This way, this way. Come here. Come on.
This way, this way. Come here. ANJALI: Over the last three years,
there's been heaps of moments where I've kind of just wished
there's been heaps of moments that I could be a teenager...
Give me the ball. Give me the ball.
..who, you know, focuses on the next exam coming up or the next party...
..who, you know, focuses on the next Good girl.
..and, you know, doesn't have that sense of, Good girl.
..and, you know, doesn't have that sense of,
um, overwhelming worry about the world.
That would be quite nice.
Catch. Good girl.
I come home to Melbourne every uni break...
I come home to Melbourne Catch.
..because I miss my mum Catch.
..because I miss my mum and my brother a lot
..because I miss my mum when I'm up in Canberra.
Come on, let's go inside. Let's go.
WOMAN: Anjali and myself, we are very close.
And, of course, when she decided to go to Canberra, it was not easy. WOMAN: Anjali and myself, we are very close.
And, of course, when she decided to go to Canberra, it was not easy.
But I knew that she has some goal for herself.
But I knew that she has Good girl. Come on.
ANJALI: There can be weeks where it feels like my entire life
is just emails and phone calls about the Duty Of Care campaign.
What are you doing? Just answering some emails.
ARCHANA: Sometimes I have noticed that she's not able to switch off,
so I tell her, "You are back, you just turn it off.
so I tell her, "You are back, "You know, just relax."
Thank you.
ANJALI: Seeing what my family Thank you.
ANJALI: Seeing what my family in India has gone through
for the last few years was what first evoked that sense of injustice
and that sense of passion within me to make a difference.
I've been back to India five times
since we migrated I've been back to India five times
since we migrated when I was 10 months old.
My family is from a place called Lucknow, in India,
which is a few hundred kilometres outside of the capital of Delhi.
It's got less of the hustle and bustle of the city
It's got less of the hustle and more of the community feel.
Everyone knows everyone's names.
(MEN SHOUT)
There's stray dogs on the street, and there's cows.
But, you know, it's home,
and that's kind of what home has always been to me.
MAN: How are you feeling? First time, six years.
Six years? It's been a while.
How was the travel? Long. Very long.
ARCHANA: All her cousins and her aunties and uncles,
I really want them to know what she's doing.
I really want them to know How has the campaign gone so far?
It's turned into a very, How has the campaign gone so far?
It's turned into a very, very big thing in Australia.
Like, all the politicians know about it,
it's been in the news a lot,
ANJALI: And I think that they do take an interest in it
because over the last few years, the impacts of climate change in India
have been quite devastating,
and my family in particular have most significantly
and my family in particular been impacted by heatwaves.
OK, first time.
Football skills there.
MAN: It's constantly, Football skills there.
MAN: It's constantly, like, the temperature,
MAN: It's constantly, it will rise to such a extreme.
It used to be 35, then it's going to 40.
So, yeah, it's rising.
And I think we are in the midst of a crisis
and the people don't know about it.
ANJALI: The heatwave that occurred in India in 2022,
I heard horrific stories of asphalt melting,
I heard horrific stories of birds falling out of the sky.
And also rubbish tips catching fire.
The last two years, many people lost their lives because of heatwaves.
And then flood came and we saw that, you know, the trees going,
the electric poles and powerlines are just flowing in the water.
Looking back on it now, I would have been around 12 or 13
when I first began to draw a link between what I was seeing happen
in India and the words "climate change".
That was something I'd never done up until that point.
ARCHANA: I remember towards the end of primary school,
Anjali started researching more about climate.
WOMAN: (ON COMPUTER) Scientists believe it's human activity
that's driving the temperatures up.
I remember watching a video that talked me through
why global warming needed to be limited
to 1.5 degrees above prehistoric levels,
and the difference between that and two degrees of warming.
A concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
A concentration of greenhouse will continue to rise.
The extent of those impacts shocked will continue to rise.
The extent of those impacts shocked me really, really significantly.
ARCHANA: So she started kind of educating all of us.
You leave the room, you turn the light off.
You don't leave the tap open when you are brushing your teeth.
I like to take credit for radicalising my mum.
It's a bit of a joke in the family, but I do
like to think that a lot of my beliefs have influenced hers.
So we all, I think, grew along with Anjali
because she really stood up just leading all of us.
And she also became part of Youth Climate Movement,
which was just taking off.
ALL: What do we want? which was just taking off.
ALL: What do we want? Climate action!
ALL: What do we want? When do we want it? Now!
What do we want? Climate action! When do we want it? Now!
What do we want? Climate action! (CHANTING CONTINUES)
The Youth Climate Movement really kicked off in Australia (CHANTING CONTINUES)
The Youth Climate Movement really kicked off in Australia
towards the end of 2018, when the first school strikes happened.
ANJALI: I remember watching initial videos of the school climate strikes
and thinking that they were incredibly powerful.
MAN: In the world of climate change and the climate wars that we've had,
Australia was considered to be a bit of a laggard,
and then the whole movement of young people really took hold
because it put that focus on and then the whole movement of young people really took hold
because it put that focus on
it isn't just about today, it is about the future.
Kids need to lead on climate change
because the adults are failing.
(CHEERING)
DAISY: But I think everyone remembers the government's response
DAISY: But I think everyone remembers to that initial school strike.
What we want is more learning in schools to that initial school strike.
What we want is more learning in schools
and less activism in schools.
Even better, put your fingers on the keyboard
and send your local parliamentarian an email,
get on with your studies and prepare yourself for future life.
Politicians say, "Oh well, the kids should be in school.
"They shouldn't be out in the street protesting."
We sort of all went, "Well, bugger that, we're going out anyway."
Let's show them today that we will not stand by.
We will not let our government stand by as our future burns.
We will not let our government (CHEERING)
When I was 14, I'd helped organise the school strikes down in Melbourne
and they were massive.
There were grandparents and there were farmers,
and there were miners, and there were people from all walks of life
supporting our cause.
I don't think I've ever felt more powerful as a young person,
and I knew that I wanted to dedicate much of my life to that cause.
Such a huge demonstration of public support
for ambitious climate action,
and we thought, "Government can't possibly ignore this."
MAN: Well, there really was a massive turnout,
but very few politicians bothered to even address the issue.
but very few politicians bothered What does that tell you?
It shows you that our government What does that tell you?
It shows you that our government is prioritising
It shows you that our government economic profit over our future.
ANJALI: Even though we managed to get people onto the streets of Melbourne
and 300,000 nationally, none of the actual policy changes ANJALI: Even though we managed to get people onto the streets of Melbourne
and 300,000 nationally, none of the actual policy changes
that we were advocating for were implemented.
WOMAN: (ON RECORDING) There were climate strikes
WOMAN: (ON RECORDING) right around the country.
Organisers estimate 300,000 joined the protest.
Our small team of lawyers were watching the school strike
for climate movement, and we understood
one of their key asks was for no new coalmines. for climate movement, and we understood
one of their key asks was for no new coalmines.
And we were thinking about that as lawyers,
we were interested to see whether they wanted to bring a case
that would challenge the federal minister's
that would challenge possible approval of a coalmine,
on the basis that she had a duty of care to avoid harming children.
And they were looking for young people to participate
And they were looking for and engage in that process.
I had no second thoughts about jumping on board.
Essentially, we were trying to stop the then Environment Minister,
Sussan Ley, from approving the extension of a coalmine
Sussan Ley, from approving called the Vickery Extension Project,
located in the mining region of New South Wales.
As the lead litigant, the case was essentially in my name.
WOMAN: The case became known as
the Sharma Versus The Minister For The Environment.
So she did become, in some ways, the face of the case.
I became involved when David Barnden rang me up.
The students, being under 18, couldn't represent themselves, I became involved when David Barnden rang me up.
The students, being under 18, couldn't represent themselves,
and so they had to search around for someone who was over 18.
ANJALI: Sister Brigid previously acted as litigation guardian
many, many times, but that was in the context of asylum seekers.
She really, really believed in the concept
She really, really believed of empowering young people.
BRIGID: I'm quite passionate about the issue in itself.
I used to be a science teacher, so I couldn't help but think
I wished I'd had some of these young students in my classes.
DAVID: As soon as we filed the proceedings back in September 2020,
DAVID: As soon as we filed the there was immediate media interest.
We had eight young people and an 86-year-old nun.
There'd been no case like this before.
Teen Green And The Nun has a pretty great ring to it as a title. There'd been no case like this before.
Teen Green And The Nun has a pretty great ring to it as a title.
Have you thought about scripting this into a TV show
Have you thought about scripting or even a feature film?
Well, that's going a bit far, or even a feature film?
Well, that's going a bit far, I think.
The next avenue for change - first protest,
The next avenue for change - then courtroom, then a TV show.
Who knows?
I went to the court for the first day of the hearings,
and that was one of the first times I've ever been to a court.
Being a young person there on a day off from Year 11,
it was more so intimidating than anything else.
Just everyone seemed so tall, everyone seemed so well dressed.
And, you know, I was wondering how I'd ended up there
And, you know, I was wondering and what I was doing.
ARCHANA: After the first day of court case,
Anjali followed the live stream from her school.
Anjali would come into school early and find an empty classroom,
where she could log on to a Zoom call to be able to do a podcast
to explain what was happening in her case,
and then would have to turn around 15 minutes later
and then would have to turn around and go and attend an English class.
Now, if global warming is all about the science,
why do global warming activists keep getting children
why do global warming activists to push their wild claims?
There was a lot of media criticism.
"These young people are naive.
"They're being controlled by the lawyers.
"They're being controlled "They're being controlled by their parents. by the lawyers.
"They're being controlled by their parents.
"They're being controlled "They're being controlled by their parents. by the renewable energy companies.
"They're being controlled by the renewable energy companies.
I don't know the inner workings of the legal system,
so I have relied on the help of lawyers.
so I have relied on Nobody's pressuring me to do this.
I've got so many other ways I could be spending my time.
ARCHANA: They are aware of what's going on and what needs to be done,
and they are standing up for themselves and for other people. ARCHANA: They are aware of what's going on and what needs to be done,
and they are standing up for themselves and for other people.
The young people, they desperately wanted this case to win,
The young people, they desperately desperately wanted it.
As a much, much older person,
I couldn't help thinking, "Oh, I hope they're not too let down." As a much, much older person,
I couldn't help thinking, "Oh, I hope they're not too let down."
ANJALI: In mid 2021, the judge handed down his decision.
I was watching the live stream from my Year 11 economics class,
I was watching the live stream and it was quite surprising.
There are features of the relationship
between the Minister and the children
which favour the recognition of a common law duty of care.
DAVID: The judge didn't issue an injunction to stop the coalmine,
because he couldn't be sure the minister would actually
because he couldn't be sure breach her duty.
However, the judge decided that there was a duty of care
that the minister owed to children, and it was the first time
that the Federal Court had considered it and accepted it.
NEWSREADER: A class action by a group of Australian school students
has set a legal precedent, which experts say could have widespread
ramifications for climate change policy.
To have a court rule in favour of us felt incredibly validating.
It felt like, you know, we'd been fighting for this
for years and years through the school strikes.
for years and years through DAVID: It is a historic judgement.
So, this is an amazing decision.
It's the first time in the world that such a duty
has been recognised.
WOMAN: I didn't agree with the judgement.
No final orders have been made, WOMAN: I didn't agree with the judgement.
No final orders have been made,
and both I and my department are considering the judgement.
DAVID: Cartoons were made about the trial.
We were approached by documentary makers and people wanting to make
drama series out of it, Anjali's had her phone ringing nonstop.
ANJALI: The joy of that court victory lasted about two months,
before the government announced their intention to argue
that they didn't, in fact, owe us a duty of care.
The appeal was heard in October of 2021.
Yeah, we're going to know any minute, yeah.
Yeah, we're going to know Which is quite scary, isn't it?
NEWSREADER: The Federal Court has ruled that the Environment Minister
does not have a duty of care to young people
does not have a duty of care when assessing fossil fuel projects.
ANJALI: I remember sitting on the floor of the Federal Court,
hand in hand with my fellow litigants,
and as soon as the court...the judges said that they wouldn't be imposing
the duty of care, I remember them completely breaking down into tears.
The Appeal Court accepted the Minister's argument
that it was the domain of Parliament The Appeal Court accepted the Minister's argument
that it was the domain of Parliament
to impose or not impose a duty of care.
I would say to young people what I have just said,
that I take my responsibilities very seriously,
my statutory responsibilities,
in protecting the environment under the act.
MAN: So, are you guys going to keep fighting?
The fight for climate justice never stops,
no matter what the federal court hands down.
Anjali Sharma, what's your response to today's ruling? no matter what the federal court hands down.
Anjali Sharma, what's your response to today's ruling?
Um, I can't lie, I'm absolutely devastated and really, really angry.
Yeah, we aren't old enough to vote,
and it devastates me because I feel...
MATTHEW: As the lead litigant, she had to defend her position,
and she had to do it all in the moment when...
..which is an incredibly difficult thing to do.
ARCHANA: I'm keeping all the articles off Anjali's work,
and not all of them are positive.
Yes, this article, the headline already is quite like patronising -
Yes, this article, the headline "Schoolgirl will strike
"from her $25,000 a year private school in protest."
It draws attention to my school fees,
like, to make me out as a very privileged, very spoilt person.
And that actually, I think, really hurt her like, to make me out as a very privileged, very spoilt person.
And that actually, I think, really hurt her
because, I mean, Anjali, she's a scholarship student.
She couldn't have been here without that.
A lot of the criticism I've received over the last few years
has been race-based, or it's been gender-based, or it's been age-based.
I got this one once, which was quite funny to me.
I got this one once, "Are you just an Indian operative
"working against the interests of Australia?"
Um, "Straight out of India. Go protest your old government.
Um, "Straight out of India. "All this BS, you have no idea."
ARCHANA: At some point I said, "Just don't look at these things.
"Just shut off, you know, turn the Instagram off.
"Just shut off, you know, "Don't go on Twitter."
She was disheartened, devastated, "Don't go on Twitter."
She was disheartened, devastated, but at the same time
She was disheartened, devastated, very determined to fight back.
ANJALI: You know, just because the court overturned that ruling,
it doesn't mean that the duty-of-care concept had to die then.
ANJALI: After the Federal Court decision, David and I
and some of the other lawyers started to discuss the idea of
and some of the other lawyers a Duty Of Care Bill.
That's right. And that's precisely what the court suggested.
The court had said that they weren't finding necessarily That's right. And that's precisely what the court suggested.
The court had said that they weren't finding necessarily
The court had said that they that a duty of care didn't exist,
but just that it wasn't the job of the courts
to impose it, but rather the job of Parliament to legislate it.
Yeah, there's a wealth of information in the case
on how such a duty of care could work.
The thing about Anj is that she didn't let it fizzle out, on how such a duty of care could work.
The thing about Anj is that she didn't let it fizzle out,
that she kept going and she said, "I really want to make this happen."
ARCHANA: Anjali moved to Canberra in 2023, beginning of 2023.
ARCHANA: Anjali moved to Canberra Oh, yeah.
Definitely, being in this duty-of-care case
has created a big impact in that decision Definitely, being in this duty-of-care case
has created a big impact in that decision
has created a big impact that she wanted to pursue law.
Hey. Hey! How are you?
Hey. I'm good. How are you going?
ANJALI: It was a perfect place for me not just to study law and arts,
but also to continue and to build this campaign.
So not science, guys.
I built up this body of research, which I then began to take
to politicians, to ask them to hear me out and to take on the bill.
(PHONE CHIMES)
MAN: Anj got in touch about the duty of care.
We then started to work out, MAN: Anj got in touch about the duty of care.
We then started to work out,
well, how could you actually do this in law?
ANJALI: I'm here today standing alongside Senator Pocock
as we table this bill in Parliament
to implement a statutory duty of care.
ANJALI: The bill would establish that when the government is looking
at approving or funding new fossil fuel developments,
that they are required to consider the health and wellbeing
of young people as a paramount consideration in that process.
Too many of the decisions we make in this place
do not factor in the futures of young people and future Australians.
So I was thinking maybe we could frame it as, like,
a little panel about intergenerational equality,
and it would be there as a climate perspective.
ANJALI: After the bill was launched, the campaign was gaining traction,
so we started to put together a bit of a team that would be
so we started to put together the inner machinery of the campaign.
Everything we do, I feel the inner machinery of the campaign.
Everything we do, I feel like is a massive, long shot.
ANJALI: People like me, interested in advocacy, interested in politics.
What was that figure that you were saying?
DAISY: When I became aware of the campaign,
I sort of immediately jumped on board.
Not too many stats,
because then the numbers will get mixed up in people's heads.
ANJALI: None of us have ever participated
in parliamentary legislation drafting before,
and none of us have ever had to run a grassroots campaign
out of our uni dorms.
And it's a massive learning curve.
Oh, well, let's actually check where the EDM's at.
We thought, what a great opportunity to have a bunch of young people
come to Parliament and to talk about the Duty Of Care Bill
with their local representative.
Hi, I'm Anj. And I'm Jess.
And it is 7am, and we are currently on our way to Parliament.
It's gonna be a massive day, and we're so excited.
Come on, guys, and see how it goes.
WOMAN: That's a run sheet for you, my friend.
And you guys are meeting with an independent.
And you guys are meeting Yes.
There's your first meeting - Yes.
There's your first meeting - Allegra Spender?
We've only been here once on a school excursion, There's your first meeting - Allegra Spender?
We've only been here once on a school excursion,
We've only been here once and it's all...
Like, we never came here to actually discuss something.
In my notebook, I have, like, a million bookmarks.
It feels like the government is so far away from you. In my notebook, I have, like, a million bookmarks.
It feels like the government is so far away from you.
Um, and today we've actually got that opportunity
to just come here and actually express ourselves.
ANJALI: It was a 12-hour day and it was full of meetings.
I think we had 35 that day.
WOMAN: Hello. Come in. Hello.
How are you going? Lovely to meet you.
Lovely to meet you as well. And hello.
ANJALI: I think it was really confronting for a lot of politicians
to have young people as young as 12 come and sit on their couches
and talk about their fears in relation to climate change.
I am a super-future-focused person and I hate feeling out of control.
I think it's a really... I'm very, very supportive.
ANJALI: We got lots and lots of advice from the independents
ANJALI: We got lots and lots of and the crossbench in particular.
You know, trying to get through the legislation and the crossbench in particular.
You know, trying to get through the legislation
is you don't always necessarily get everything you want.
ANJALI: I think we went into the meetings knowing that
it's kind of their full-time job to negotiate
and to bring the government on side,
and to bring the government and that's what we're trying to do.
Anj, nice to see. Yeah, lovely to see you again.
ANJALI: For this bill to pass, we need a really productive,
really constructive working relationship with the government.
What would be really good place to say is, why do you care about it? really constructive working relationship with the government.
What would be really good place to say is, why do you care about it?
Why do you think it's important?
We've been in several meetings today where we've been looked at
by government MPs and we've been told,
"Oh, but we have this target and we have this amendment
"Oh, but we have this target "and we have this legislation."
There is still no policy that takes into account our interests,
There is still no policy that our health and our wellbeing.
ANJALI: We offered up this bill our health and our wellbeing.
ANJALI: We offered up this bill as another tool in their belt
to achieve their targets and to complement their policies.
The current Commonwealth Government was elected on the basis of
The current Commonwealth Government 82% renewable energy by 2030.
As of the middle of last year, we're up to about 35% renewable energy
As of the middle of last year, we're in our electricity grid.
We're not going fast enough yet, but it's not simple.
We're here for one reason, like everybody is here today,
and that's to put a halt to this reckless, renewable base.
(CHEERING)
Yeah, look, we all have concern (CHEERING)
Yeah, look, we all have concern
about how do we reduce our emissions,
how do we look after our environment?
That's the only thing at contention here,
is about how we achieve it and who bears the burden of it.
I care about our children's future, and this is not the way to go.
My constituents are very concerned about the pace and the consultation
in which the government has undertaken this,
because they are recklessly trying to do this by 2030.
The wind turbines around us that they're planning,
that are going to tower over our homes,
are 1.5 times the size of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
are 1.5 times the size of Have you got that mental picture?
We'll have a look at the bill, but we should pause,
We'll have a look at the bill, we should plan and get this right.
We've got time.
And we should put all the options on the table.
DAVID POCOCK: How can we delay this even further?
Climate scientists are telling us we can't,
but we have this really narrow window to act. Climate scientists are telling us we can't,
but we have this really narrow window to act.
And the duty of care is about
forcing politicians to actually do that.
And to be expanding the fossil fuel industry in 2023, 2024
And to be expanding the fossil is total madness.
WOMAN: Good morning.
On behalf of the committee,
I'd like to welcome everyone here today.
So, we're in Parliament House today, and the Senate is holding
a full-day inquiry into the Duty Of Care Bill.
We hope that we don't come out of this process
without a duty of care, because it's We hope that we don't come out of this process
without a duty of care, because it's been put in the too-hard basket.
without a duty of care, because it's WOMAN: You know, we protect our children from smoking,

WOMAN: I'm a liberal. I'm for smaller government.

that we're going to legislate a thought process
as we put policy in place.
A lot of us are parents, we all do consider the future. as we put policy in place.
A lot of us are parents, we all do consider the future.
DAVID POCOCK: It's very rare for private senators' bills to pass.
And so ultimately this will come down to Australians
saying to their local representative,
"This is something I want and I'm going to continue to push,"
and Anj and hundreds of thousands of young people across the country
and Anj and hundreds of thousands of are part of that.
It was initially quite intimidating to be looking senators in the eye
and really fully advocating for this bill.
and really fully advocating Ultimately, 50 years down the track,
we are the ones who will be making decisions for the world. Ultimately, 50 years down the track,

I think right now I'm just feeling a lot of adrenaline
I think right now I'm just and a lot of exhilaration.
I think I'll go home tonight and a lot of exhilaration.
I think I'll go home tonight and absolutely crash
and reflect on the last four years and just how draining, truly,
and reflect on the last four years the process has been.
Hi. Thanks so much.
Just to the Australian National University, please.
Not a problem. Thank you.
ARCHANA: Sometimes I feel she's taking too much on herself.
So, we do have arguments on that sometimes.
Like a typical 19-year-old being rebellious.
Like a typical 19-year-old But I know that that's her passion.
BRIGID: Anj is a young woman who's put much on the line
for what she believes in,
so I will watch, as long as I'm alive,
I will watch her future with interest.
ANJALI: We don't have time for baby steps anymore,
so I'm not going to stop campaigning for radical change,
because I think that that's the only way to safeguard
the rights of young people in the face of climate change.
ANJALI: I can't wait till I'm having meetings with you guys.
You are so cool. Aw, thank you.
You are so cool. Also, you guys are so cool, so...
Just imagine being that Parliament person
and just seeing a bunch of kids.
"Hey, we're going to talk to you and we're kids,
"Hey, we're going to talk "so you can't say no.
"Eat it."
Here we go. One, two, three, everybody.
Say "Duty of care!"
ALL: Duty of care!
