AN OCEAN Grove woman demanding a meeting with Sarah Henderson to discuss the Liberal Party\u2019s position on climate change was removed from the MPs office by police on Friday.<\/p>\n
Caroline Danaher said she had been trying to arrange a meeting with Ms Henderson about the issue since January 4, and while she acknowledged Ms Henderson had granted her an impromptu meeting in that time, she felt her concerns hadn\u2019t been heard by the MP.<\/p>\n
She said she wrote letters and sat in the foyer of Ms Henderson\u2019s Waurn Ponds office hoping to get another chance to make her case for more action to be taken on climate change, before she was removed by police on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m worried about the climate emergency,\u201d Ms Danaher said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone needs to know that more action needs to be taken on the issue. Each of us has to stand up and do something, and sure I might be a small cog (in the machine), but I\u2019m trying to do something.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a small thing, this is big, big stuff.<\/p>\n
Calling it \u2018climate change\u2019 doesn\u2019t cut it anymore.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a climate emergency. Sure, I might be dead in 12 years, but my grandsons need a life, the young people on the planet need a life.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for Ms Henderson said that Ms Henderson met with Ms Danaher for around 20 minutes on March 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn May 10, police attended Ms Henderson\u2019s office after a group of protestors refused to leave and were impeding access.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
