Hangry Climate Activist Quits Hunger Strike

I'm glad he's okay, but honestly, this is amateurish stuff

Gregory Andrews’ hunger strike against climate change ended today when he got hangry. So it wasn’t a hunger strike so much as a tantrum.

Australia's former high commissioner to Ghana began his hunger strike 16 days ago on the laws of Parliament House.

He vowed not to eat again until his long list of climate demands was met. It’s the adult version of a toddler holding his breath.

Andrews’ demands included the phasing out of coal and gas exports and a halt to native forest logging.

‘Give me Net Zero, or I die!’

Andrews gave numerous media interviews, vowing to perish rather eat in order to give his children a future.

As it turned out, he was prepared to get quite hungry for his children’s future. He was so upset about climate change that he was willing to endure a few tummy grumbles. But death? Don’t be silly. That was never on the cards.

I drove past Andrews on Friday, and saw him laying there on the grass.
