As fires raged across NSW on Tuesday, a couple who fled the devastating blaze tipped some of the charred remnants of their house on the steps of parliament, angry at the governments inaction on climate change.

Aaron Crowe, 38, who lost his two-bedroom home in Warrawillah, joined hundreds of protesters gathered in Sydney demanding more firefighting resources and policy to address the ecological emergency.

In this bucket is my house, he told the crowd.

I realised how futile it is, Crowe said. But I feel like coming here and talking about this and about how unprepared Australia is for the coming summer its the least I can do.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Tuesday now is not the time to talk about the effects of climate change.
