Coal trains and trucks cannot drop freight at major ports in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland this morning after climate activists launched coordinated protests to block key bridges and roads.
Blockade Australia started the action with a woman who dangled herself from a rail bridge near the Kooragang Island terminals at the Port Of Newcastle at 7am, launching protests that followed in Brisbane and Melbourne.“Blockade Australia is back,” the group said in a social media post, once all three port blocks were enacted.Suspended in a harness connected to a bridge near the Kooragang Island terminals, the woman at the Port of Newcastle was carrying a large chain and said she will not come down willingly.
About 8.20am, a second woman activist from the group scaled a monopole crossing all highway lanes entering and exiting Brisbane Port.
