#NSW parliament passes new laws bringing harsher penalties on #protesters
By Heath Parkes-Hupton
Posted Fri 1 Apr 2022"The NSW Parliament has passed tough new punishments for protesters the state government says wish to wreak 'economic chaos' on #SydneyAustralia.
"Under legislation that cleared both houses today, people could be fined up to $22,000 and/or jailed for a maximum of two years for #protesting illegally on #PublicRoads, #rail lines, #tunnels, #bridges and #industrial #estates.
"The new offence applies to #ports in #Newcastle, #PortKembla and #PortBotany, but the government says it intends to add more facilities.
"Attorney-General Mark Speakman said the laws applied to activities that 'shut down major economic activity'.
"It comes after a string of demonstrations by #ClimateActivists last month disrupted operations around Sydney's Port Botany, the largest container hub in NSW.
"Members of #BlockadeAustralia staged protests on bridges, roads, freight rail lines and a crane to call for greater action on #ClimateChange.
"This morning, four people were arrested after blocking peak-hour traffic on the Princes Highway in Sylvania.
"#FireproofAustralia has claimed responsibility for that incident, which saw traffic blocked by people holding banners across the road."

#DeannaCoco's 15 month #sentence is "#outrageous" and "#alarming"
#Reactions have been swift and severe after #environmental #protester Deanna Coco was sentenced to 15 months #prison last week for her #actions on the #Sydney Harbour #Bridge in April, when she #blocked a #lane of #traffic with a hired truck as part of the #FireproofAustralia #movement.

It isn’t just floods, fire and smoke we must plan for. Shortages of food & clean water, disease, climate refugees and heatwaves are increasing as well! #ffs #FireproofAustralia #ActNow #IPCCReport https://twitter.com/sustainabletall/status/1523209958522638337
