Shipping movements disrupted as climate change protesters block coal ships from entering Port of Newcastle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Courtney Yeandle<\/a> and Nakita Jager<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSW police have arrested 141 people who attempted to block the shipping channel in Newcastle Harbour during Rising Tide protests, which began on Thursday. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Three people suspended themselves from a bulk carrier and unfurled a banner on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protesters will remain at a campsite at Foreshore Park until Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the largest shipping ports on Australia\u2019s east coast cancelled all shipping movements for three hours on Sunday following an on-water climate change protest.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising Tide said its demonstration has been successful after its paddle-outs forced two bulk carriers to turn around and not enter the port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Port of Newcastle confirmed the Ragna coal ship was turned back on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words fail me. If the protestors made an effort to avoid using the fossil fuel products they are complaining about, I\u2019d have some respect. But this protest, protestors making full use of the products of the industry they claim to oppose, is just a demonstration of how badly Australia\u2019s education system is failing young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
