Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that about 600 Rising Tide protesters paddled into the Port of Newcastle on Saturday after the supreme court sided with them against the police commissioner. It says what the protesters were demanding, notes that the council ban did not apply because the protest did not use council land, and attributes the criticism from Minns and Catley to them by name. It also reports that charges against 125 of the 173 protesters charged in 2024 were withdrawn.
“to demand funding for coal workers to transition to new jobs and a safe and livable climate”
The Guardian says what the protest was for in its second sentence, so the reader is not left guessing why people took to the water.
“its demands for the cancellation of all new fossil fuel projects, an end to coal exports from Newcastle by 2030, and taxing fossil fuel profits at 78% to fund community and industrial transitions”
The article sets out the group's specific demands in full rather than reducing the protest to disruption.
“During the event 173 protesters were charged, but charges against 125 of those people were withdrawn in August.”
The article gives the withdrawal of most charges alongside the arrest figure, so the minister's 'bad faith actors' label does not stand alone as the account of past protests.
