Comment on Climate activists to plead not guilty en masse under NSW’s controversial anti-protest laws

I had my court case today, and due to very different circumstances compared to these brave climate warriors, I plead guilty. The only tidbit I can really give is that they’re really leaning into the anti-protestor stuff and most likely want to make an example out of as many of them as possible (we were basically told this to our faces today). It’s unfair, the charges have been inconsistent, randomly changed and clearly politically motivated. I’d be watching this one closely, and if you can chip in to support them please do.

It’s not good news for protestors in general that we’re actively watching a crackdown unfold all over the nation, but at least in the case of rising tide, it likely means they’re using an effective strategy.
