With the United Nations climate talks in Paris underway, hundreds of climate change protesters stormed the Australian Parliament House on Wednesday to demand the country’s leaders “put people before polluters.” Climate group 350 Australia, which said 300 people took part in the “People’s Parliament” action in the foyer of the building, described it as “A powerful demonstration of people power.” Australia’s politicians are putting the big polluters ahead of the people that they were elected to represent. They are prioritizing dirty coal and gas ahead of healthy communities and a safe climate.
