A group of 25 people have blocked access to the office of engineering company FKG in Mackay this morning, in protest against their potential acceptance of rail line work.
Graphic designer Emma Kapp locked herself to the compound’s gates, surrounded by 25 others, and halted work at the facility.
Ms Kapp says “we urge [FKG] to reject Adani’s mine and instead work on projects that go towards a safe and sustainable future for all of us, otherwise we will be forced to take more actions like this.''
The disruption occurred after an FKG staff member leaked information about the negotiations for Adani’s Carmichael Rail Network, and is the second protest to target FKG in two days.
