NSW Police Commissioner seeks to prevent Rising Tide's planned Nov 19-28 coal port blockade in Newcastle, aiming to halt coal exports by 2030.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb is seeking to prevent environmental group Rising Tide's planned blockade of Newcastle's coal port from November 19-28, which aims to attract 10,000 participants. The protest seeks to halt coal exports by 2030 and follows a successful blockade last year. Critics, including Greens MP Sue Higginson, argue the legal action undermines democratic rights, while Premier Chris Minns warns of economic impacts.
