Climate activist group Extinction Rebellion are conducting a bicycle protest in Brisbane this morning, riding through the CBD in an attempt to disrupt peak hour traffic. 

 

The protesters, starting at the Kurilpa bridge, will slowly ride towards King George Square, passing through the Queensland Parliament Building.

 

The group declared on the Extinction Rebellion Brisbane Facebook page the protest aims to “bring attention to the climate and ecological crisis and one of its dire outcomes- social collapse.”
