🔥 Our message has hit mainstream - the story of our epic Brisbane occupation where six Rising Tiders' were arrested for their valiant attempt to clean up ANZ's shit climate policy! We ain't stopping ANZ - just clean it up already!

ANZ refuse to clean up their crap climate policy, instead they arrested six of us trying to do it for them. What's with that? Their Board has an opportunity this Nov to bring ANZ into line with the other three 'big 4' banks & rule out funding the North to East Australia pipeline. C'mon ANZ!

ANZ, Don't fund the pipeline! The Singing Sisters had a big story to tell at the ANZ bank in Balmain. The story of our planet and our times – while the world burns big banks like ANZ think about funding massive new gas projects like the NEA Pipeline from the Beetaloo

More actions this morning from the formidable @risingtideaus.bsky.social activists taking the fight for a liveable climate to the world's largest coal export port (in Australia, where PM @albomp.bsky.social last week signed the #BelemDeclaration to phase out Coal, Gas & Oil)
Excerpt from Guardian liveblog

"Fiona Lee, an activist who locked on to a coal conveyor, said she could "not stand by as our government continues to approve the new coal and gas projects that are making these unnatural disasters worse", adding:

"It's time that our government starts supporting coal workers by investing in new industries for our region and making coal corporations pay their fair share."

NSW police have arrested at least 141 people during the protest this weekend. An official said there have been no additional arrests this morning so far."

Photo shows a seated man locked onto infrastructure. He has a Rising Tide flag draped over his knees and holds his right arm up with a raised fist
Caption reads: John Wishart, 74. Photograph supplied by Rising Tide

Fiona's community has (mostly) survived catastrophic bushfires and floods. Sixteen #RisingTide peaceful protesters have locked themselves onto coal loading equipment in Newcastle this morning. Civil disobedience is necessary when our governments fail to protect our climate ✊🏽💙
