Australia’s largest coal port has been interrupted by abseiling protesters once again as part of continued efforts by Blockade Australia against coal infrastructure.
Early this morning, two activists climbed atop machinery at the Newcastle Coal port, and lowered themselves out of reach using an intricate system of ropes and pulleys, effectively bringing production to a standstill.
Environmental campaigner Zianna says the aim of the protest is to challenge the ruling order of fossil fuel production that dominates Australia, and Blockade Australia will continue to scale up direct action to fight climate injustice.
