Extinction Rebellion protesters, demanding action on climate change, have vandalised Australia’s Parliament House and the prime minister’s residence, The Lodge, in the country’s capital, Canberra.

After spray painting slogans like “climate duty of care” on walls outside of both buildings, as well as setting a pram on fire on Tuesday morning, eight Extinction Rebellion protesters were arrested.
