Rising Tide protesters have climbed onto a coal train near Newcastle, calling for the federal government to reverse its approval for three coal mines to extend their operations for another three to four decades.
Coal mine approval protests: About 50 people joined a community protest outside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's office in Gadigal Country/Sydney and then dumped a bag of coal outside Plibersek's office.
Protests in Naarm/Melbourne, as well as at the electorate office Khalil (Wills), included at Kate Thwaites (Jagajaga MP) and Josh Burns (McNamara MP). Around 30 people occupied the office of Graham Perrett (Moreton MP) in Magan-djin/Brisbane.

@takvera great you and others are protesting the #FossilFools in Australia. It really is so awful how our elected politicians are failing us everywhere.
(I picked #FossiFools from this post by @pezmico about similar developments, and protests, in NZ - a hashtag i intend to use whenever appropriate from now on!)
The #FossilFools in charge of our government want to keep us dependent on expensive, blood soaked dinosaur juice for decades to come. 🛢️ And they are trying to pass a bill locking us onto this foolish future in a hurry. Submissions are only open until tuesday, make sure you let them hear your thoughts. ⚠️ Here are mine if you want to read them. https://pezmi.co/2024/09/27/make-a-submission-against-the-fossil-fools/ #endFossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #climateDiary #NZPol
