We have a parlianment, 150 people in the House of Representitives and 68 in the Senate. So Julia Gillard's idea of choosing 150 random australians to decide whether or not we take action on climate change has taken the electorate as a little odd.
 
 
Do we need a citizens' assembly? Is there a consensus on climate change? Below the Line reporter Emma Buckley Lennox hit Queen Victoria Market to see what the citizens' think.
