Australian children, and adults who care, march in their hundreds of thousands, for Action on Climate Change
While our revered Prime Minister was sucking up to USA’s revered President, and totally ignoring the climate issue, hundreds of thousands of Australian citizens were rallying for action on climate change. I was there, in Melbourne, and I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been there in big rallies, 100,000 and more- but this was the biggest ever!
And so many children. It is their future, that we are talking about!!

Global climate strike : Australian school students march to protest climate change https://www.smh.com.au/national/global-climate-strike-live-australian-school-students-march-in-protest-of-climate-change-20190920-p52t70.htm By Jenny Noyes and Natassia Chrysanthos September 20, 2019 — That’s a wrap for Australia’s climate strikes It’s been a huge day for more than 300,000 Australian school and university students, families and workers who took to the streets of their cities and towns to protest climate change inaction. Organisers described the turnout as the biggest nationwide since 500,000 people protested against the Iraq war in 2003. Similar school strikes in March and November last year drew 40,000 and 15,000 people. Police commended the large crowds for displaying good behaviour at the peaceful protests. The rallies produced some powerful images, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne where the crowds were especially large – so check out our gallery to the right for all the best photos. [on original] |
