Despite rain, a large crowd of about 10,000-15,000 turned up to yesterday’s climate rally, organised and led mostly by school students.
The main focus of the rally was opposition to the Federal Government’s so-called ‘gas-led recovery’.
First Nations speakers spoke out against the desecration of their traditional lands, as a result of extractive industries, particularly the proposed Santos gas fields in the Pilliga on Gomeroi lands in Northern NSW.
Protesters marched from Sydney Town Hall to Prince Alfred Park.
It was the first School Strike 4 Climate rally held since the onset of the pandemic.
