This is civil disobedience‼️ We've asked 'nicely' for decades. Disobeying institutions that abuse power to deliberately harm those less powerful is a vital tenant of a healthy democracy. There is still time to join is at #RisingTide 👇🏽

Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social

Warm day @risingtideAus.bluesky.social so the @bobbrownFoundation.bluesky.social shelter is a welcome respite. And it’s beautiful. Not so sure about the koala headed bike ‘sculpture’??Creative types abound.
