The worldwide climate activist group Extinction Rebellion has planned to use tactics from Hong Kong protesters in their civil disobedience campaign.
Tom Howell, a Brisbane organiser for the group, says “Cable ties and street barricades together, you can go and get a $40 bike lock, this is a really accessible thing”.
Mr Howell says that this barricade technique is a simple way for anyone to get involved.
Queensland Police Chief Superintendent Tony Fleming is critical of their strategies, saying “it seems that their tactic is to deliberately not cooperate with us and not take our help to help them protest peacefully and effectively.”
