You asked for it!
We tracked down photos of 3 🧶👵’s, a clown (+driver) being pursued by police on Newcastle Harbour on Saturday. Nannas were finally arrested but released without charge.
Not everyone is in a position to take direct action - but we can all spread the word #ClimateAction now!

Paddling out at with mates @risingtideaus.bsky.social was fun but Nannas would rather be holding yarn than protest signs.
Get your socks on @albomp.bsky.social Show us Aussies your “pattern” to get off gas and coal and work together with us and workers to sew a better future.

Big hugs for Nanna Alex who has just made it back to the beach after her arrest. She’s here with @risingtideaus.bsky.social and says she decided to take direct action to stop the coal ships because as a Professor of Public Health she knows the risks. Wake up #auspol #RisingTide #ClimateAction

While Pollies bang on about the best way to do nothing on climate change Nannas Marie & Lyn get to grips with real climate policy: stop new coal & gas projects. Fund a fair transition to renewables. Get everyone in the tent. (Hmm even the Nats?!) @riskngtideAus.bsky.social

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
