Thousands of Australian school students may ditch school on Friday and head to parliament to protest lack of action on climate change and renewable energy.<\/p>\n

The initiative, also dubbed the Big School Walkout For Climate Action, was triggered by a trio of 14-year olds from Castlemaine, Victoria who planned to skip school along with many of their classmates to protest at Victoria’s Parliament House.<\/p>\n

News of the action spread and it seems the group could be joined by many more of their peers around Australia, protesting at parliaments across the nation.<\/p>\n

The Schools Strike 4 Climate Action<\/a> web site states:<\/p>\n

“In Australia, education is viewed as immensely important, and a key way to make a difference in the world. But simply going to school isn\u2019t doing anything about climate change. And it doesn\u2019t seem that our politicians are doing anything, or at least not enough, about climate change either.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The action is demanding politicians stop Adani’s Carmichael coal project in Queensland, put an end to new coal and gas, and to work towards 100% renewable energy by 2030.<\/p>\n

“We want a safe future, powered by the wind and the sun, not dirty and dangerous coal and gas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The initiative was brought up in Federal Parliament yesterday by the Greens’ Adam Bandt MP during question time.<\/p>\n

“Prime Minister, will you join me in praising these students for having a go, and will you meet with and listen to these kids, who are demanding action from your government to keep coal in the ground?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prime Minister Morrison was very clear that he didn’t support the action and said schools should not be turned into parliaments.<\/p>\n

“We don’t support the idea of kids not going to school, to participate in things that can be dealt with outside of school,” stated<\/a> Prime Minister Morrison. “… what we want is more learning in schools and less activism in schools.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As we all know, the best way to get young ‘uns to do something is to tell them they shouldn’t do it, so Friday could be an interesting day and one that PM Morrison probably won’t be looking forward to. However, parents may rein in a number of enthusiastic activists, compelling them to stay in class.<\/p>\n

The organisers were defiant of Prime Minister Morrison’s admonishment, stating<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“ummm @ScottMorrisonMP look hope you don’t mind but we’re not going to follow your advice. we’re striking for climate action and no-one can stop us, not even you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a huge event, the initiative has again put a spotlight on the Federal Government over the issues of climate change, carbon emissions and renewable energy; shone by a section of the community with a lot at stake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
