In short:
NSW Police have arrested 138 people for allegedly defying directions not to enter the shipping channel in Newcastle Harbour.
The Port Authority has temporarily paused shipping movements due to safety concerns.
What’s next:
A police operation on the harbour is continuing.
Oh hey, maybe I saw you there Sasha! :3
It was a little overwhelming, thankfully I had my trusty ear muffs with me. Not a bad one for your first! I brought a friend who had never been to a protest before either.
Good chance you did actually, I was a pay the rent collector and watched the entire thing go past and the ran ahead a few times to try and double up our intake 😆
I hate that we’ll have to do it again in January, but I hope I can do even more this time.
