During the standup, the protesters set off a loud siren and yelled at the ministers, calling for a stop to the Government’s Fast-track Approvals Bill.
“These are the faces of the climate apocalypse,” protestors yelled out, while others held a banner that read “fossil fuels”.
After the minister’s thanks the media and walked away, the protestors then took over the microphones.
“We’re just a bunch of young people who really give a crap about our future,” one woman yelled.
“We want to see a Government give us a vision of the future we believe in. We think this Fast-track Bill is silencing community voices in a space where we need it most.
“All I’ve seen them do is create a vision where there is a lot of money in the works but I’m not seeing any way this gets down to the future generations.”
She added: “You can best believe we will not be letting them take the mic.”
“We’re going to take control and fight for a future we believe in, whether they stand for it or not, we will.”
