Members of an activist group who defaced Australia’s Parliament House and the prime minister’s Canberra residence, The Lodge, during a protest, do not care about climate change but instead want to “radically change” Australia’s political system from democracy to communism, according to an Australian politician.
Nationals Sen. Matt Canavan told Parliament on Aug. 10, after Extinction Rebellion activists set fire to a pram and illegally spray-painted their message—“duty of care”—onto the walls of both buildings, that the protesters “don’t want to change the climate” and that it is “not their goal.”
