Hundreds gathered in a rally organised by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW at the Town Hall Square in Sydney today (16 May) to express their frustration over the Australian Federal Government's relationship with polluting industries. The protest was chiefly targeted at the influence of the fossil fuel lobby on climate change policy of the government. Speakers demaned the government to protect people over the big polluters. At the conclusion of the rally, began the march under the banner - “protect people not polluters” which went up to the Labor Party Head Quarters of NSW. Senator Bob Brown, Leader of the Australian Greens and Senator for Tasmania and Cate Faehrmann, Executive Director of Nature Conservation Council of NSW also were among speakers.
