Four extinction rebellion protesters were arrested and removed after shutting down the William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane’s CBD yesterday morning.

The protesters parked a ute across two lanes at the intersection of Coronation drive and the William Jolly Bridge and locked themselves to a kayak in the middle of the road. 

They exhibited a sign reading, “Don’t Cop-Out Australia. Make a real plan” in a push for real climate change action. One of the protesters said, “Australia’s net-zero plan is that science project you got a D for in Grade Seven.” The four were arrested at the scene.
