Ystrdy I reported @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/climate-prot... that June Norman (84) had repeatedly taken #civildisobedience action for #NoNewCoal but cops wouldn't charge her. Today she occupied the road in Canberra & has been arrested.#RighttoProtest @risingtideaus.bsky.social

The Minns government tried to shut @risingtideaus.bsky.social down but it tripled in size, was peaceful, fun, gutsy & safe - with 170 arrested. Here’s how it unfolded.Watch for more in the Canberra Wave michaelwest.com.au/climate-prot...

It’s a little hard to see but 100s of kayakers using #civildisobedience to block world’s biggest #coal port right now @risingtideaus.bsky.social NSW gov abused power to stop #Blockade but dismally failed #NoNewCoal

Before picking up her kayak, 16 yr old Niamh gave powerful speech about #abuseofpower & betrayal by Albanese, Plibersek & Minns in #ClimateCrisis left no choice but to #Blockade the world’s biggest #coal port. She’s part of a big @risingwave.bsky.social wave that’s happening now #NoNewCoal

4.#SchoolStrikersforClimate #SS4C arrive at @risingtideaus.bsky.social #Protestival ready for #flotilla relaunch. Aim #NoNuCoal; close world biggest #coal port in #Newcastle by 2030

3.4pm: flotilla launched to
Block world’s biggest coal port just as planned. Police wait for ‘exclusion notice’ to come into force. Then NSW Supreme ruled notices were invalid & big cheer from @RisingTideAus resounded. NSW gov must come to terms with right to #peacefulprotest #nonucoal

2. Minister for Transport @johaylen used to support protest but she's changed in power. She placed a massive exclusion zone around #Newcastle port to stop @risingtideaus.bsky.social
#protestival. #InnerWest constituents are not happy & this morning protested outside her office in #Marrickville
