Climate activist protest group Extinction Rebellion have had to postpone an action in Brisbane’s King George Square this morning due to the severe wet weather and flooding.

It comes at the start of their reported national week of action, which was due to highlight what the group say is an urgent need for truth-telling regarding the climate crisis.

South-east Queenslanders have been inundated with rain and flooding over the weekend, with some areas reporting up to 200 millimetres.
