"152 arrests so far today! 40 of them include charges under the NSW anti protest laws. That's the info I've got so far."
Arrests made as #RisingTide #ClimateChange protesters take to #Newcastle Harbour over #coal exports
"'I strongly support the peaceful protest that's planned here. Consider what the scientists are telling us, look at the agreements we're trying to forge internationally and understand that this is one of the most defining issues of our time." -- #PeterGarrett, #MidnightOil frontman and former environment minister.

Port of #NewcastleAustralia shipping paused as more than 100 #AntiCoal #protesters arrested
November 23, 2024
"More than 100 people have been arrested in Newcastle for allegedly defying directions by New South Wales Police during an anti-#FossilFuel protest at the world's largest coal port.
"Dozens of protesters on kayaks and small water craft paddled out on Newcastle Harbour on Sunday morning.
"Standing on the beach, a police officer using a loud speaker told those gathered on the sand they could be breaking the law if they entered the shipping channel.
"NSW Police said just after 10am on Sunday a large group of people entered the shipping channel and interfered with the movement of vessels.
"As a result police said 138 people had been arrested after refusing to comply with a direction to move away from the channel.
Thousands of people have gathered in Newcastle over the past few days for what activism group Rising Tide has called 'the people's blockade' of the world's largest coal port.
"The police operation on the harbour is continuing and police aren't ruling out further arrests.
"'NSW Police will adopt a zero-tolerance approach to actions which threaten public safety and the safe passage of vessels,' a statement said.
"Rising Tide has declared the protest action successful, claiming the paddle-out forced a bulk carrier to turn around and not enter the port."

#Australia's Supreme Court prohibits #RisingTide's #Newcastle #coal port protest
"The only public safety issue here is the climate pollution caused by the continued expansion of the coal and gas industries."

The activism group has recruited the likes of #PeterGarrett for the demonstration, which has been promoted as a "#protestival" designed to block access to the city's harbour.
