Thousands Protest in Australia as Bushfires Rage

Thousands have rallied in Australia's major cities to call for movement on weather alternate and condemning the authorities' approach to the ongoing bushfire crisis.

The Sack ScoMo protests, organized by Uni Students for Climate Justice, were held in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne - the protest places where even the rain did little to dampen the mood of the large crowd.

The "Sack ScoMo" protests went in Victoria as well, regardless of Premier Daniel Andrews and Vic Police being involved that the police might pull government away from the bushfires to help with crowd control.

A sea of umbrellas could be seen along the stairs of Victoria's State Library, and protesters spilled across Swanston Street and closer to Melbourne Central Station.

Placards held by protesters read, "We deserve more than your negligence," "This is environment collapse," and "We can not breathe."

Protesters told news.com.au they have been pleased with the results. The people also went out to rally regardless of the weather. Other Australians gathered outdoor Sydney Town Hall to listen to the speakers.

The situation, one young woman noted, shows that people really care about the purpose and are tired of waiting for action.

Uni Students for Climate Justice wrote on Facebook they want to "make the climate criminals pay" and "maintain up the pressure" to the Australian government.

It comes as NSW authorities warn of a "lengthy night" with almost a dozen fires flaring up throughout the state.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said he disagrees with the authorities on quite a several different factors that they had to make. He said the government has lost various diverse fair-minded Victorians who believe in climate change when they protest.

The impeccably named #SackScoMo protests are the latest way Australians are hoping, begging Prime Minister Scott Morrison to get off definitely.

The protesters are also paying tribute to all firefighters for "genuine relief and help for affected communities." They're also seeking an "immediate rapid transition away from fossil fuels."

Mr Morrison this week had announced an initial $2 billion fund for  bushfire surpassed after an immediate payment of $60 million was made to council areas affected by the fires.

He has flagged a royal commission and says any country wide inquiry into the  bushfires disaster would need to observe the effect of climate change. 

While acknowledging there was an urge to study the effects of climate change, Morisson said he would not consider a stronger comittment to carbon emission reductions. 

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said everything else was playing out as forecast with the hot and windy conditions on Friday aside from the two new fires. However, she told the communities to remain vigilant. 

 Berejiklian said it's going to be a "long, difficult night" as everyone could not estimate the extent of the impact of these fires until early Saturday morning.
