Australian branches of the climate change protest group Extinction Rebellion could shift tactics after its British division announced it will temporarily stop acts of civil disobedience.

The UK branch of Extinction Rebellion, where the movement originated, said on Monday that methods such as blocking busy roads and activists gluing themselves to buildings have not achieved the desired effects.
