These “Dollarmites” – a.k.a. Aussie kids with Commonwealth Bank accounts – are not happy about how their pocket money might be invested.

The Commonwealth Bank is funding a project to build the world’s biggest coal port on the Great Barrier Reef. When the kids found out their bank had plans to destroy one of Australia’s national treasures, they were not pleased. Watch the video below, and be prepared for them to melt your heart with cuteness.
