Thousands of students across Australia have skipped school for the third time to demand their elected representatives act on climate change, just weeks out from the federal election.

"We will keep striking and raising our voices until our politicians show the leadership that our generation deserves." Over in Warringah - one of the most closely watched seats this election - hundreds of primary and secondary school students gathered outside former PM Tony Abbott's office, before catching him later at a Manly cafe.Two Warringah residents, Elsie Loadman and Yasmin Lin, both 15, confronted Mr Abbott and made clear what they wanted to see.
