Thousands of people gathered outside the Victorian Parliament on Friday for a climate protest that caused disruptions to tram services in the city.Activists planned to march through the city and stage a"die-in" at Bourke and Swanston streetsCity trams were expected to be disrupted up until 3:00pm
The protesters then marched through the city to the corner of Bourke and Swanston streets where they staged a"die-in" before they movedProtesters young and old chanted"this is our future, there is no plan B" and"what do we want — climate change, when do we want it — now". One of the protest organisers, Extinction Rebellion Victoria, called for governments to set up a"Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice" to lead environmental policy.
ABCscience When l read the comments I see what went wrong with the election...sorry future generations it wasn’t all of us☹️
Denial is becoming more and more irrelevant. This protesting won't stop, until everyone is living on a bettet planet, may as well get used to it. I am happy to protest for change for you. ❤❤
Don't we produce only 1% of global warming? I do believe we once had car batteries!
ABCscience Put them on a bus and take them to see the wind towers in western Victoria, most of them seem to think nothing is being built. We are doing a pretty good job in Victoria actually.
Only in Victoria. Pissed off because Libs now rule supreme. Protesters should get a job and earn a living instead of relying on tax payers to pay them the dole.
Send them to WA. We need new coal and nuclear power stations here.
This, my friends, is the real problem caused by climate change.
These clowns are too silly to realise all they are doing is further turning off those who consider climate change is a hoax. Just like Brown’s little anti Adani convoy did. They should be encouraged to keep on doing these silly stunts.
If you want a taste of what a real protest needs, come to Queensland 😂
THE climate election was last week. Check the results.
What is it with Melbourne? Vegans, unions and now these. Only happy to flag wave and slogan chant in safe territory? They should protest in Queensland mining towns. auspol auspol2019
Yawn
Got to love dicktorians sorry Victorians
And then there is Adani.
I assume they did the protest in there lunch hour. Then got back to work
Go back to work! Oh that’s right you can’t because you DONT work!!!
Melbourne has been flooded before. Climate control is a bigger issue. Different from lowering Techtonic Plates as in the Pacific Island changes.
I bet none of them have even read 'Industrial Society and It's Future' by Ted Kaczyński
Not a good look.
Run the bludgers over! Go get a real job! Wankers on steroids!
Poor deluded fools.
100's out of 25millon. Lets listen to them, they must reflect the views of the majority. Must be on a good wicket to have time to protest fri lunch time
All Soros funded. Means nothing in the real world
Do they all have the day off work?
And naturally this has made a bunch of angry idiots even angrier.
Arrest and jail is the only way to stop these simple minded idiots.
We shouldn’t give them Centrelink payment. Send them to Africa!
Instead of demonstrating all the time, why aren't these people raising funds to build more solar/wind farms, or fund other renewables initiatives? Believe me, if there was affordable renewable technology available to supplant coal, coal would be dead already
Many of them voted for east-west link in Duncan, the cheater in Chisholm, Kevin Andrews and level crossing in kooyong, now why are they pretending to care about climate change 6 days after the election? Gotta deal with it now, 3 more years!!!!
Why promoting protestors as your news?
Bloody idiots. They have no strategy, no impact assessment just bullshit and bravado. There needs to be a meted strategic approach not the ALPs fart bubbles, the Grrens extremism, and LNP head up arse. A climate pact much like Hawkes Tax summit. Then a staged implementation
Better off going Canberra as the Coal Mine Libs would be better targeted!
its the only way the media will cover climate change issues these days.
