The government is not supporting it yet, but together we will change that,&#8221; Castlemaine&#8217;s Niamh O&#8217;Connor Smith, 17, told the crowd.<br \/>\nHundreds of local students attended &#8211; using public transport to reach the Melbourne rally &#8211; and seven former Mount Alexander Shire mayors and current mayor Cr Bronwyn Machin came together to demonstrate their support for the students in person.<br \/>\nThe former mayors were Stephen Carthew, Peter Skilbeck, Jim Norris, Dave Gittus, Philip Schier, Janet Cropley and Sharon Telford with two other former mayors &#8211; Michael Redden and Christine Henderson &#8211; sending their apologies.<br \/>\n&#8220;The basics behind gathering together a number of ex-mayors is simply to show some support from the former and current leadership of the community, the shire, towards the youth who are supporting something that we thoroughly believe in &#8211; some action on climate change,&#8221; Mr Norris said.<br \/>\n&#8220;We want to show our support for their leadership,&#8221; said former mayor Norris who then boarded public transport to Melbourne to march alongside his three adult children at the Strike 4 Climate.<br \/>\nMayor Cr Bronwen Machin also attended the local Victory Park rally and said she wanted to demonstrate her support for the students &#8220;fighting for a safer world&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;They deserve to have a safe world and a rich world,&#8221; Cr Machin said.<br \/>\n&#8220;Any action we take by adapting to climate change or reducing our gas emissions always has three, four, five other benefits. So it shouldn&#8217;t be scary.<br \/>\n&#8220;It should be a really good thing that we look forward to working together with new technologies, new ways of being to solve this problem.<br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ll be richer. If we solve this problem, we&#8217;ll be richer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3905\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
