Extinction Rebellion have continued a week of ongoing direct action in Canberra with giant koalas at Parliament House for the last sitting week before the international Glasgow climate talks.
Koalas are vulnerable and in danger of going extinct unless urgent action is taken to protect habitat and halt global heating.
In the black summer bushfires of 2019/2020, three billion animals were killed or displaced with Koalas now among them facing extinction in many regions of Australia.
Canberra's Environment Minister, Sussan Ley, has recently given approval for three new coal mines and is currently appealing a Federal Court ruling that the government owes a ‘duty of care’ to protect Australia’s children from the danger of climate related harm.
