Anyway.. with Education now Victoria's largest export, you'd be surprised how many graduates (engineering and science at least) now coming out of University consider Google to be an omniscient font of correctness and will happily argue their case with anyone who has learnt by experience that they're wrong.
I reckon this Greta Thunberg will be an interesting one to watch. She was all high and mighty as an obnoxious child back in 2019, but watching recent interviews as she's got older (and hopefully wiser), her message is slowing changing to be not quite so black-and-white... Funny that.
