Science enthusiasts are expected to take to the streets across Australia calling on MPs to make policies based on evidence, not populism.
Marches are set to be held across eight cities on Saturday, building on the March for Science movement originating in the US last year.
"We will hold our elected and appointed officials responsible for enacting equitable, evidence-based policies that serve all communities," organisers of the Australian marches said on Facebook.
They are calling on MPs to stick to evidence-based policymaking and for the reinstatement of a federal science minister.
Marches are expected to be held in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Townsville, Hobart and Launceston.
