With a 2-hour gap between the protests, Melbourne had a little extra time to get its shit together for this afternoon’s enormous Global Climate Strike action. And apparently everyone in the Victorian capital used that time to get busy on the sign-writing front, because among the heaving throngs of people present there were some stone cold, certified bangers.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Melbourne across State Parliament and Treasury Gardens for this afternoon’s protest, getting behind the unified national – and international – voice for action on Climate Change.
The signs? They were good. They were spicy. They were clever. They kicked a whole lot of ass.
Observe Melbourne’s efforts thusly.

Some creative costumes and signs spotted at the #ClimateStrike in Melbourne. This time it’s not just students and teachers protesting. Families, grandparents, baby boomers and corporate workers are here supporting each other @TheNewDailyAu pic.twitter.com/xSCVteNRNL

Unbelievable effort, mates. Humbling, moving, and very, very funny. Love all of your work.
