30 protesters were arrested by police in the Sydney CBD yesterday, as climate action group ‘Extinction Rebellion’ kicked off a week of protests across Australia.
Images have emerged of elderly people and men in suits being dragged through Broadway, Sydney by police as crowds blocked the busy road.
Just this morning, police have been negotiating with a climate protester dangling off Brisbane’s Story Bridge in a hammock, with ‘The Extinction Rebellion’ flags hanging from it.
‘The Extinction Rebellion’ movement has planned for “massive disruption” from Monday to Sunday aimed at blocking traffic.
