Climate change protestor Paul Jukes, who was found hanging in a makeshift harness beneath Brisbane’s Story Bridge yesterday, has now been charged by police for unregulated high-risk activity and is due to face court today.
Mr Jukes was demanding Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner declare a climate emergency.
He had initially said he was prepared to stay "as long as it takes", packing several days' worth of supplies, but his plan was interrupted when police started looking to remove him.
