More than 2,500 Australian businesses said they were participating in the strikeThe global day of action, led by Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, is happening three days before the United Nations Climate Change Summit in New York.
Demonstrations were officially registered in all eight capital cities and 104 other towns across Australia.No new coal, oil or gas projectsFunding for"a just transition and job creation for all fossil-fuel industry workers and communities" More than 2,500 Australian businesses have pledged to participate in the action, either closing their doors or allowing their employees to walk off the job.
The businesses signed on to Not Business As Usual, an alliance which said it was a"group of Australian and global businesses pledging to support worker participation in the climate strike".There were reports of packed buses with students with signs coming into the city, with huge numbers marching through the CBD.
round them up for truancy...not that they are learning anything in school...
Hundreds of thousands. Please report for the people not the government. I’m a rustedonabcsupporter
allanhondow HUNDREDS of thousands!
Hundreds of thousands, you mean. Why understate it
The Left continue to use children as its pawns. Disgusting.
Disappointed that you gave so little time to the climate strike on 7pm news. It was the 1st story, but we could have heard more about what happened nation wide. It is important to young people & better coverage would have been more commensurate with this ClimateStrike
tens of thousands, huh? That means 25 million odd Australian's didn't believe in this fake climate change narrative.
You ask kids, you want a day off school? Yeah! It’s about a Climate Change? Yeah! What’s the science? Silence.......Let’s go, Yeah!
Try again.....HUNDREDS of thousands. truth
Vladimir Lenin: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted” Half these kids believe in Santa, have parents who don’t work and can attend this gathering, and are subject to more than 10 years of indoctrination in our school system...
And morons got really angry about it.
... really? tens of thousands? ...try hundreds of thousands! Maybe take a peep at the photos.
Pretty bland coverage tho This is pretty momentous and yet all we've heard today is how one idiot is meeting a bigger idiot and the bs that goes with it. It's beginning to look like the ABC has been compromised.
Full house here in Melbourne
Millions I suspect! But hey, the LNP wouldn't want to count them
I just read that the numbers across the country were closer to 300,000!
Tens of millions don’t.
Yeah but yeah but we are in surplus... let's make more money and build another coal mine, let's get more overseas buyers in for business, houses and land...
wouldn't HUNDREDS of 1000s be more accurate time for an update tweet? nswpol auspol schoolstrike4climate
Good to see children will still say anything just to get the day off school! Super sad it's just a political kidnapping!
sharanjit Hundreds of thousands - you cant give unbiased news and you cant count
Make that hundreds of thousands.
Why not wait till next week isn’t it school holidays then 🤔 just a thought oh maybe attending school isn’t important
Pssst - It wasn't just a school climate strike.
Nothing like an excuse for a day off
if the big crowd dont move PM then democracy is broken corrupted by coal miners
Nice shirt
Follow ClimateStrike rather than mainstream news for true picture .. just amazing
Wow, the nasty so called quiet Australian trolls are out in full force. They have no science or valid arguments but just personally attack kids and their supporters. If the deniers want to have a protest go for it. The real quiet Aussies are at the rallies supporting the kids.
Estimates — Melbourne 50,000 Sydney 80,000.
Your maths is about as good as David Littleproud’s grasp of climate science...
Good to see the CFMEU flying their flags at another protest
22,000 in Hobart alone, you dolts. auspol
poor brainwashed kids; it's happened before of course - the kids of Germany in the 30's and 40's...the Hitlerjugend...
ClimateStrike ClimateEmergency = ClimateScam auspol
try hundreds of thousands
Comment section is full of snowflake boomers as I expected lmao
Not my kids! How will teaching them to skip school and chant with the unemployed give them the tools to realistically affect change? Teach them how to vote!
One media outlet says thousands, the sensationalist ABC says 10s of thousands anyone going for millions 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sheep. Just a day off for most, right?
Hundreds of thousands would sound more accurate. Understand this probably goes against your Gov dictated news headlines.
Many are holding cardboard signs made from chopped down trees. Maybe their teachers should teach them the meaning of hypocrisy instead of peddling socialist propaganda.
Yeah, nah. My kids aren't buying into the climate lie.
BRAINWASHED FOOLS.
It will be interesting to see how people and the economy transitions from highly paid mine jobs to lower paid work outside the coal, gas and oil jobs
If you like to know who is it organised this the national tertiary education union is the one that has being promoting with posters and telling schools to skip school & global climate strike on 20th September. They have Facebook check them out. There the idiots doing this.
Packed train coming in from Werribee heading for Trwasury Hardens at 2pm - all ages, kinder, parents and grandparents. Banners, signs - we all understand. Now to make change happen! Everyone chatting, like a grand final community with a common cause - no divisiveness🤗🤗
I am so proud of my children, they aren't stupid or gullible. There is no way with their solid STEM education that they would fall prey to the brainwashing from that insane climate cult. They are learning electromagnetics today, knowledge that will make them people who matter.
Lucky little bastards.........geez I wish they had these excuses for days off when I was a kid at school.
Government won't lose a wink of sleep. No impact until millions participate, Hong Kong style.
Brainwashed fools
A great day for the Greens, the Socialists and the Stupid who believe in Myths....
Good!!!
Tens of thousands of SUVs drive brainwashed children to cult meetings.
Thanks for covering ABC ... This is what democracy looks like... Champions...!!! Of democracy... StopAdani NoNewCoal ClimateEmergency ClimateJusticeNow NVDA civil disobedience is the best for change in the world...

Meanwhile, this is what Leftards are doing to kids …
