Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that Newcastle council banned Rising Tide from holding events on its land after the NSW premier, Chris Minns, warned it would be complicit in illegal activity at the protests. The article attributes the officials' claims to them, gives the group's demands and its reply, and sets out the 2024 court ruling and withdrawn charges that let readers weigh the ministers' words. Nothing in it misleads.
“The protest is run to draw attention to the group’s demands for the immediate cancellation of all new fossil fuel projects, the end of coal exports from Newcastle by 2030, and taxing fossil fuel profits at 78% to fund community and industrial transitions.”
The article says what the protesters want, so readers know why the blockade happens and do not see it as disruption for its own sake.
“the supreme court found the government had acted improperly and ruled the exclusion zone invalid after Rising Tide challenged it”
The article records the court ruling against the government. Readers can test the ministers' later claims about lawbreaking against it.
“in August police withdrew charges against 125 of those people”
The article reports that most of the 2024 charges were dropped. This keeps the arrest figures from standing alone as proof of criminality.
