We explain the going ons in Hong Kong and how it affects students in Melbourne.
Its a tense time in Hong Kong where students have protested for a better government and for full voting rights. Right now Hong Kong belongs to the Beijing Government. If Hong Kong were to have full rights they would be able to choose their own candidates.
About 60000 protestors turned up in the city on Sunday night. Many more came on Monday morning disrupting the city so that many people could not get to work. Many of them were tertiary and high school students.
It is a riot in the city of Hong Kong where people are pelting the police officers and officers are spraying tear gas on people. There is also violence.
What is happening in Melbourne now and how is this news affecting people?
In Melbourne students are also feeling the tensions but the protests aren't as bad as the ones in Hong Kong. One student wished that he was back in Hong Kong with the protesters when they were tear gassed by the police.
There is solidarity all around with the Melbourne students supporting the protest.
We hope that the protest eases soon so that people can get back to their normal working lives.
