Thousands gather in Newcastle for the People’s Blockade

For the third year running, people from around the country converged on Newcastle Harbour last weekend to protest the shipment of coal from the world’s busiest coal port.  Around eight thousand people from a large number of grassroots groups took part in the People’s Blockade “protestival” on the harbour foreshore which began on Thursday and continued through until Tuesday. Much of the activity took place on the Saturday and Sunday with hundreds boarding kayaks and paddling out into the harbour.
