Ms Cook accused Du Plessis-Allan of staging a ‘gotcha’ moment ‘to discredit her (Izzy) personally and derail the conversation about climate action’.ĭuring the interview, Izzy tells Du Plessis-Allan she thinks it would be a good idea if flights were only allowed for ‘approved events’. Under the heading of ‘Heather du Plessis-Allan should be ashamed of how she bullied my daughter’, Ms Cook said the popular radio star who interviewed Izzy did not give ‘a sh*t about climate change’. Izzy Cook, a 16-year-old school climate strike organizer from the New Zealand city of Wellington, found herself on receiving end of merciless mockery after admitting she flew to Fiji on a holiday ‘I listened in horror as my 16-year-old daughter had a phone conversation with someone who appeared to be bullying her, laughing at her, and talking over her,’ Ms Cook wrote for Kiwi website The Spinoff. Rose Cook, the mother of Wellington school climate strike organizer Izzy Cook, penned a furious reaction after hearing her daughter give the phone interview at the family home.
