Australian school children defy prime minister with climate strike
(CNN)Thousands of Australian children skipped school on Friday in defiance of the prime minister to protest for greater action on climate change.
Organizers estimated around 15,000 left their classrooms in 30 locations across the country, including Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, carrying signs reading “procrastinating is our job not yours” and “I’ve seen smarter Cabinets at Ikea”.
Friday’s protests followed similar protests in Canberra and Hobart earlier this week.
