NSW Deputy Premier Paul Toole has warned climate change protesters the"full force of the law" would be thrown at them following the chaotic scenes witnessed across the Sydney CBD on Monday morning.
Blockade Australia protesters caused major disruptions across Sydney CBD on Monday morning as they stormed onto busy streets and blocked traffic. Picture: John Grainger NSW Deputy Premier Paul Toole told Sky News Australia he is"absolutely furious" about what he witnessed in the city on Monday morning.
"And let's be very clear, these are not placard holders, they are nothing short of professional pests. Mr Toole pointed to the new laws introduced by the NSW government in April in response to back-to-back protest activity by the group. "We have got police on the edge of the Harbour Bridge, on the edge of the Anzac Bridge, they're stationed around the city," Mr Toole said.
Next time get enough police vans out to throw them all in jail, fines issued or jail time. Business & population need to recover & don’t need these juvenile delinquent’s constantly breaking the laws.They have a 75% green Parliament voted in & there is no reason for these protests
Are they going to do something this time or just talk tough then let them go again.
11 arrests, but how many charges? And if the get to court, they’ll inevitably face a left wing judge (which most are) who’ll say he’s be proud if they were his own children (as has happened before) and fine them $1.00 with offence recorded.
Good on police this time for arresting the climate extremists! There is no climate crisis!
Let the LWNJ conspiracy hacks try this in Dan Andrews Communist Victoria. Where PROTESTING is ILLEGAL according to Dan Andrews. PRGuy17 Auspol ClimateCrisis
Arrest’s 😂😂😂😂😂 nothing will happen to these vanerial warts! Slap on the wrist as usual!! No fines either because they don’t have the money to pay!! Nothing will change!!
Seems like the only pests are those in power
Bring back the gallows.
kind of reassuring as a victorian that the distribution of idiots is widespread...🤦♀️
Climate cult. The leading advocates of the Climate Change movement are politicians, entertainers, and even children. Climate preachers such as Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio lack any formal scientific training whatsoever, and live personal lives of unparalleled luxury .
Everyone should have a right to protest but if you break the law you pay the price same as everyone else , these people broke the laws , go to jail do not collect $200 .
Everyone is a bit pissed & angry until they stop ambulances and other emergency services from saving lives then we’ll all be bloody furious!
Blockade Australia have been talking about this June CBD protest on their website for months! I can’t believe the police weren’t able to stop it.
If there were dozens in the protest and the protest was illegal why weren’t there dozens of arrests instead of three?
If they don't start issuing the maximum 2 year jail terms and fines this will never stop.
