Adam Bandt Instagram – Solidarity, Laura. You’re an inspiration.
Laura took part in a nonviolent direct action at Newcastle coal port with Blockade Australia ⚠️
I support them. The science supports them.
We know we cannot continue to mine & burn coal if we’re to avoid the worst impacts catastrophic climate change.
But Laura’s been sentenced to 3 months jail under NSW’s draconian anti-protest laws, rightly sparking concern from @amnestyaustralia and @humanrightslawcentre .
There is one reason why Labor & the Liberals have passed 49 laws restricting the right to protest over the past two decades: it works.
And because these polluters donate big to the major parties – they’re not happy either.
The Greens will continue to fight to repeal these anti-protest laws wherever we can.
Strength to you, Laura.
The political establishment may be running a protection racket for the fossil fuel corporations, but we’ve got your back ✊
Note: Laura has been granted bail – if you’d like to support them head over to @blockade.australia 🧡 | Posted on 09/Jul/2024 12:08:26
