In short:
Activism group Rising Tide says multiple people have been arrested at an anti-fossil fuels demonstration in Newcastle.
Thousands have attended the multi-day protest, where Midnight Oil front man Peter Garrett delivered a speech and performed.
What’s next?
The demonstration is expected to continue until Sunday evening.
More updates from RT to come over the course of the day. We’re expecting a large number of arrests this evening as the flotilla comes to an end.
