Don't fall for the con job. It's a cover for them to justify opening up massive new export projects.

Yesterday we did it! Brave people ('kayaktivists', to borrow a US term) successfully stopped coal ship from the port of Newcastle - and 170 of these legends were arrested. Today we are supporting those who face court on this day. It's not over – join us in Canberra for action this week, 26-28th!
