On September 25, climate activists from Rising Tide disrupted a coal train in Newcastle, Australia, protesting the federal government's approval of two major coal mine extensions in the Hunter region. Nine protesters climbed aboard, shoveling coal out and displaying anti-coal signs during a two-hour standoff with police. Authorities eventually removed them using harnesses. Multiple arrests were made, as the group plans further protests in November to mobilize support against new coal projects.
