HAPPENING NOW on Awabakal land: Activist is hanging from the Kooragang Rail Bridge, grinding the Port of Newcastle - the world's largest coal port - to a halt.
lan is speaking out: "Australia is a colonised continent.
It is a place that has destroyed and continues to destroy cultures and landscapes for profit. Looting and plunder - that is what the Australian system represents."
We are disrupting the port because it is part of the infrastructure that enables this system of domination and destruction that's driving all of us towards ecological and societal collapse.
It is up all of us to stand in the way of this system and demand structural change. Our survival depends on non-compliance. Act your politics!

*ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION*
ZIONISM IS FASCISM
NO NORMALISATION, NO TWO STATE SOLUTION, NO ZIONIST FASCISTS!
This action was carried out on violently stolen, unceded Bunurong Country. There is no peace without liberation.
Josh Burns, federal MP for Macnamara, is an active participant in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We must take all necessary action against zionists, normalisers and the state for total liberation. On Wednesday 19th, windows were smashed, soaked in paint, and telecommunication cables set alight.
Fire was strategically used to destroy the underground telecommunications cables and disrupt business as usual. It was contained in deep concrete pits with no chance of spreading or harming anyone. Meanwhile, Palestine and Lebanon are burning.
We must continue pushing the boundary and escalating for Rafah, Yemen, Lebanon and the world.
RESISTANCE UNTIL VICTORY

FIFTH ACTION IN TWO DAYS!
Australia, Israel, and the USA are a part of the same financial, military, and ideological system of exploitation that maintains power through extraction and military force. Power that serves only the elite at the expense of the needs of the many and the climate that sustains us all.
Kim (33) who stopped trains into Newcastle Port shares, "it's all connected, the genocide of first peoples, the exploitation of land and the climate crisis."
"Whether it's through stopping coal as we hurtle headlong into climate collapse... or showing up in solidarity for Palestine and getting in the way of corporations who are enabling genocide for their own profit... we have to get to the root of the problem."
"The global systems that Australia supports are continuing genocides and dispossession using militarised state-sanctioned violence. I'm here to say that ordinary people without real access to decision-making power can and should intervene directly to stop the flow of resources."

WAKING UP TO TWO MORE ACTIONS
Toni (28) is 4 hours into blocking traffic across 3 trainlines into the Port of Newcastle, suspended from a monopole traverse.
This is the 8th action in the last 4 days in the latest #BlockadeAustralia mobilisation.
Last night, Trish (77) and Ella (25) jumped on a coal carriage, bringing all trains to a stop!
Ella shared, "yeah, it's cold and uncomfortable... but we find hope in direct action. It's a way to say we are not complicit with what is happening and we won't be silenced. It's a direct message."
"Being here really puts it into perspective - how much is being extracted from the land: stolen land, stolen resources."
We are railroading towards a future of increased floods, fires, famines, conflicts and mass migration.
Acknowledging Australia's part in facilitating the climate crisis means acknowledging our responsibility to stand in the way of Australia.

THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED, NOT BROKEN
#BLOCKADEAUSTRALIA 5th consecutive day of action blocking the Port of Newcastle, Grace hangs from a bipod over a rail bridge with a banner that reads, "the system is rigged, not broken."
Grace is right... environmental disasters, climate change, pollution and inequality are not mistakes - they are symptoms of a system built to exploit, to benefit those in power over the many.
The system is working just as intended. Politicians, corporations and the rich profit from the exploitation of people and planet because it's in their job description.
She says, "I don't think l'd be able to look at myself, if I wasn't doing something.
If you agree, join the resistance!

RESIST AUSTRALIA'S CLIMATE
DESTRUCTION
Okay, Day 9 and it's been a wild evening!
2pm: After Luke's morning action, Heike jumps on a coal train halting trains in and out of the Newcastle Coal Port.
11pm: Skye climbs into a tree-sit tied to the rail, blocking traffic for a solid 5 hours. She is kept company on her livestream by a few passionate supporters from around the world over night.
4.30am: Nate steps in at dawn for the next 3 hours, hanging from a bipod over 2-mile creek bridge leading into the world's largest coal port.
#BlockadeAustralia is a growing network that knows direct action is effective when it's targeted and sustained as it challenges power where it operates on the ground.
As long as Australia continues to exploit this continent and those who call it home, our resistance will continue.

Blockade Australia Has Shut Down Newcastle Coal Line for 10 Days Straight: Interview With Grace
The climate defence network that police designated as public enemy number one has made clear it will continue to fight for the future generations.
BREAKING: 21 year old Laura has been sentenced to 3 months jail in Newcastle court after shutting down the loading facility at the Coal Port on Sunday.
After more than 30 arrests as part of a sustained Blockade Australia mobilisation, Laura is the first to be sentenced to jail.
In the face of repression action becomes more important than ever. There are risks inherent in challenging this system but to risk standing idle is to risk everything.
