Tens of thousands of young Australians have walked out of their classrooms today to stage protests in capital cities demanding action on climate change.
 |
| Melbourne protest organisers said about 20,000 people attended the rally outside Parliament House. |
Rallies began in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart outside state parliament buildings and town halls.
Students have also marched at rallies across regional Australia, with large crowds protesting at Geelong, Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Cairns and Townsville.
Many used humour to get their point across, with posters referencing internet memes and suggesting fail grades for the nation's political efforts on climate change policy.
