All people who have taken action in the first few days of the #BlockadeAustralia Newcastle Port actions have been released, except for Sam, who did an early morning action today.
Those who’ve been sentenced have been given Section 10s and small fines. Three others are awaiting court dates with harsh bail conditions, such as non-associations with other activists and surety payments.
This is the kind of action that is needed. The Australian system acts blatantly against the interests of the land and people, in the name of growth and profit. It has always been this way.
We know we cannot wait to act… a sustained, connected resistance against Australia is needed to protect our communities from climate collapse.
