The Climate Institute is using the services of a nine year old actor, Jack Versace, to raise awareness of their agenda in the Australian 2007 federal elections. Acting as Jack Simmons, the boy appears in print and television advertisements on behalf of the Future Party encouraging voters to think carefully about the parties’ policies on climate change.
