Comment on On trial for protesting against Woodside

This is only more signs that peaceful protests are simply a tool for government to ignore.
Direct action is needed, and hero’s like this are starting to lead that change.
The criminals are those killing us all under the protection of a system they designed to protect them from repercussions.

So, now we’re acknowledging that she wasn’t protesting peacefully like she claims? That indeed she crossed the line into unlawful territory?
I agree.
That’s why the police are involved. Not because she protested Woodside.

Nah, we’re acknowledging they “lawful” is a bullshit metric.
It’s lawful to kill the planet and us along with it, it’s illegal to bring attention to those who are doing it.
Clearly one cannot operate under such a deeply flawed system.

As I said at the outset: I’m sympathetic to the cause. I have grave concerns about the planet and how as a species, we are causing immeasurable damage with our reckless treatment of resources. Nobody is defending the company nor denying she has a worthy goal at heart.
But all of that is beside the point. The point is her central premise is deeply flawed: she is simply not on trial for protesting Woodside.
