Simon Holmes à Court: how school bullying inspired a political revolution

On election day, a record number of independents seized previously "safe" seats and helped spell the end of the near decade-long Liberal government. It was a teal wave that surged stronger than anyone had expected, and it was backed by Climate 200 - a non profit, non partisan group that employed crowdfunding, whose founder, Simon Holmes à Court says is just getting started.

Simon joins us on the Briefing to talk through his motivation for establishing Climate 200 and what he expects will happen at the upcoming NSW and Victorian elections.

His new book, The Big Teal, is out now. It focuses how his Climate 200 group won over what he calls the ‘forgotten people’ of the 21st Century: women and younger voters especially - and how no seat in Australia will ever be safe again.
