On Friday, thousands of Australian students defied calls by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to stay in school and marched on the nation's capital cities, and some regional centres, demanding political action on climate change.
Protests were held in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Coffs Harbour, Bendigo as students banded together to pressure the Morrison Government in the lead-up to a federal election.
Protests were inspired by 15-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg, who pledged to protest outside parliament in Stockholm until the country caught up on its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
