I admire #RisingTide (and have supported them on social media). I am pleased that you have used your voice to support them and read your posts with interest.
I didn’t follow instagram links.

I believe it is an error for them to be a part of #Instagram’s ecosystem. It helps legitimise one of the enterprises that is the epitome of greed and an exploitation of not only the environment but also society, globally.

Similarly, I am critical of our governments for spruiking emissions reduction while encouraging and supporting the increase of fossil fuel exports.

#RisingTide should get their social media off #Instagram if they are to be more serious about looking after our environment and disarming the #TechBros who are major barriers to progress on #Climate and #Environment recovery. #JustSaying

We gathered on the steps of council afterwards, a strong presence, especially considering we only had 30mins warning about the vote. We spoke, we sang, we chanted. And we rejoiced in our community and common cause. This isn't over

Rising Tide staunch in the face of the ban. At the end of the vote, Rising Tide members expressed their strong views about the total shitfuckery of this council decision.

And they ended up narrowly passing the ban on Rising Tide (by 1 vote). The Greens and some Labor councillors objected.

The NSW Premier Chris Minns is right now trying to force the Newcastle city council to permanently ban any climate protests by Rising Tide (and a very open-ended list of related groups).

Every australian has the right to protest, and climate change is the biggest threat facing the gone and the region, which will be particularly affected by sea level rise, flooding, fires, storms, and the impacts of a poorly managed transition to a clean economy.
