Nine people climbed and locked onto coal loaders, while 33 others positioned themselves high on a coal pile.

Great work! good to see leadership from climate activists.. lets hope the government listens
These idiots need to go have a shower and get a job. Bloody hippies.
Brett I find your comment incredibly annoying!!
The people involved in the protest ranged from 18 to 80. They also represented a huge cross section of our community with students, teachers, mothers, fathers, tradesmen…..this list could go onand on. People need to realise that caring about our environment and the future of our world doesn’t make you an ‘idiot hippy’!
Why don’t you stop making silly assumptions and get some of your facts straight before making such prejudice comments.
Mining powers have assasinated our democratically elected Prime Minister direct action unfortunately is now necessary due to the arrogance & dismissal of the industry to sincere community concerns.
