"As long as they are safe and their parents know where they are and they are marching or protesting in a respectful way, in a responsible way, I think that is fine."
The students have three demands: stop the Adani coal mine in central Queensland, no new coal or gas, and 100 per cent renewables by 2030. Milou and her friend Harriet O'Shea Carre were inspired by Swedish teen Greta Thunberg, who has been striking for climate action since last August.
Just where are these big batteries going to come from, where will they be located, and how will these children pay for them?
how come i never see these kids protesting at the airport or don't jets contribute to global warming.
Tell em their dreaming!
Senseless dribble, I rather get advice from professional scientists and climatologists. What a pathetic attempt, I guess you didn’t notice the people who organized the rally and who’s backing them!
The students don't have any demands. The activists using them as sock puppets are the ones making demands.
They demand to destroy all the cheap and reliable power Australia has, yet won't give up their power hungry phones, online games and their tv.
STUPIDS SAYS IT ALL
Good on ya kids, let's talk reality
These demands are totally unrealistic and only demonstrates that these students are ill informed and have not researched what the outcomes of these demands would bring.
I can agree with the first point- we don't need another Indian company siphoning money out of our country. The other two points are ridiculous though
Maybe the kid can come up with an idea for power then. Little fkhead
Go students! With you all the way.
I hope that they all turned off their phone chargers ....
The arrogance of these chilkdren is astonishing, nearly as astonishing as their hypocrisy, your the throw away gen, civil discourse obviously isn't a curriculum priority anymore, read this list kids and drop anything you use immediately
Another group of snot nose kids with demands and no solutions, all gone home now to their aircons, computer games all picked up in 300hp 4wheel drive cars in the city, playing online games sucking massive power, & the plastic on your phones and computers comes from fossil fuels
Another day of school missed. This lot can hardy afford to have a day when so uneducated already.
Using children to push an agenda is equivalent to child explanation TimeToStop
People need to know that ozone depletion is cause by the biggest contributors the farming industry, second the transport industry and a very distant third fossil fuels.
How about their parents demand they go to school.
They had better get a job to pay for that then. Their power bill to charge their phone will be astronomical.
Indoctrination at it's highest level!
Since when is the Greens running the schools and not the education Dept
So Stupid for this to be occurring and even garner support
What about a glass dome to be put over Oz to stop all the pollution that the rest of the world is churning out?
The students have no fucking idea... What? A day off? Cue cards please miss..
A case study in the unintended consequences of brainwashing the most impressionable vulnerable members of society: Self righteousness without the benefit of real life experience = fertile grounds for future chaos.
Three demands given to them by activist propagandists. Our children are being manipulated by dangerous idiots
I hope it Pisses down with rain on your march.
most kids will do anything to have a day out of school , including striking for something they do not believe in . yes , pollute less , care for the land , water and air. 'fossil fuels' will always be needed. unless you're a caveman.
And stay the Hell Outa the Bite.
They should ask for more homework
And the first time they get an electric or gas bill, you’ll see them protesting again!
I see the kids have been working on there spelling. Good job kids
Tell that to china, india, America they are the biggest carbon foot print not Australia.
Wrong on all 3 fronts nothing worse than brainwashed, uneducated students just following like sheep the mantra of environmental terrorisom
Leave the real world to the adults... Freaks UnionPuppets
Same kids that called 000 because f.b and instagram were down.
Why do these children want to keep brown people in India poor?
Brainwashed pawns. But it's they who will suffer.
Just one journo have the guts to ask them what climate change is and how does it effect the planet and what doing this things they mention help?
Are they going to pay for all this?
Why do we care, they don't even vote yet. Let them get a bit older, start a family, start working, and then they might have the right to tell us how to run our country. Obviously with Facebook & Instagram down yesterday these kids had a bit more time on their hands
