XR activists target Australia's London embassy demanding urgent action on the climate crisis
The Red Rebels join climate change protesters outside the Australian Embassy in London, where Extinction Rebellion are staging a protest against the Australian government's response to the wildfires in Australia

HUNDREDS of activists demanded urgent action from the Australian government to fight catastrophic wildfires, as they laid siege to the country’s London embassy today.

The demonstration, organised by Extinction Rebellion, was held in solidarity with mass protests across Australia.

The Australian High Commission on the Strand was surrounded by XR drummers, campaigners donning kangaroo costumes and huge vibrant flags resembling flames.
