THE Australian Youth Climate Coalition chair and recent documentary star Anna Rose spoke at the University of Wollongong about her new book today.

Ms Rose visited Wollongong as part of a three month national tour following the launch of her the book, Madlands: A Journey to Change the Mind of a Climate Sceptic, based on her ABC documentary journey with former Finance Minister Nick Minchin.

Ms Rose spoke on how Australia can move forward on making progress on tackling climate change. She discussed the origins, funding and tactics of the climate denial movement globally, and how it has influenced Australian politics.

The book is published by Melbourne University Press.
