Six Extinction Rebellion protesters have been charged after some of them locked their necks to barricades that blocked a street in the Brisbane CBD on Wednesday morning.  

Officers found four men and two women in the middle of the road locked to metal fencing. 

Laura Harland, a spokeswoman for the Extinction Rebellion said the protesters used different devices to lock their necks to the barricades. 

“We’ve been doing this [protesting] for a while now and nothing seems to be changing,” she said.
