Over 100 Arrested After Australian Climate Protest Disrupts Coal Ship Operations

 

Australian authorities arrested more than 100 activists after a large-scale climate protest forced a coal ship to turn back from the Port of Newcastle, one of the world’s busiest coal export hubs. The demonstrators, part of a coordinated effort by environmental groups, used kayaks, boats, and other means to blockade the port, calling for an immediate end to fossil fuel exports.

The protest lasted several hours, disrupting port operations and drawing attention to Australia’s role as a leading exporter of coal. Organizers stated that the action was intended to pressure the government to take stronger action on climate change. “Australia cannot continue to fuel the climate crisis,” said a spokesperson for the group leading the protest.

Police confirmed the arrests, charging individuals with trespassing, resisting arrest, and obstructing operations. Authorities also reported minor clashes between protesters and law enforcement but no serious injuries.

The protest underscores growing tensions between environmental activists and Australia’s resource-based economy, with debates intensifying over the nation’s transition to renewable energy.
