ACE secretary Phil Saxby said the group is calling for a Government-backed hui on climate change to take place by 2022. “The current representative system of government handles a lot of issues very well, but climate change is one of those issues beyond them. “Some problems are so big, democratic governments struggle to make the tough and unpopular decisions. “There can be this built-in resistance to change. We hesitate, we discuss, we form committees. But we don’t take action when it’s needed.”
