"… activists linked to the climate group Blockade Australia have been charged under the laws, which introduced a two-year jail sentence for protests that block major roads, bridges or tunnels …

"The use of the new anti-protest laws – passed by the Coalition government in April with the backing of the Labor opposition – have been subject to intense criticism since Coco’s jail sentence.

"After her sentencing on Friday a senior UN official said he was “alarmed” by the sentence, while the head of Unions NSW, Mark Morey, called it “wildly excessive”."

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented resistance. 🔥

What happens next is up to you.

#blockadeaustralia

Today, NSW Police pulled over cars associated with activists. Cars have been searched, defected and one person arrested while driving to a concert. All because of suspected involvement in *protests*

Australia’s authoritarian creep has turned into a slide.

#BlockadeAustralia

The rich protect their assets, their commerce, their cruelty, the rest of us suffer the consequences.

Break the system before the system breaks us.

#BlockadeAustralia #MelbourneCup #ClimateCrisis

We live in a system where racecourses are protected from flooding before peoples homes.

Just more evidence that climate change and climate disasters are produced by the rich and felt first by the poor.

#BlockadeAustralia #MelbourneCup2022 #VicFloods

And when the people in power have been causing deliberate and pre-meditated destruction for decades - direct action as a response makes even more sense.

BREAKING: Magistrate drops all charges!

Lismore local, Mali faced up to 2 years in prison after blocking the Sydney Harbour Tunnel in June. They were charged under NSWs new draconian anti-protest laws. All charges were just dropped.

#BlockadeAustralia #Auspol

A report last week indicated that we have already passed the tipping points for 5 major climate disasters. Without brave activists like Mali and thousands like them, humanity’s future, starting with most vulnerable - may be lost #BlockadeAustralia

Mali (22) faces court today in Lismore to see if they will be sentenced to prison.

Mali blocked the Sydney Harbour Tunnel last June, causing peak hour disruption. They now face up to 2 years in prison & $22,000 fines under the NSW Govs new anti-protest laws.

Australia is not the name of this continent.

Australia is the name of the systems that oppress and exploit this continent and all those who call it home.

Surprise, surprise. Australia's political system fails to respond to the climate change it caused.

The reason the state knows we are powerful is because we are not isolated individuals. We are a part of a global wave of direct action, obstruction, disruption & cultivation that is opening the possibility for a world without exploitation or ecocide.
