Deanna Maree Coco, also known as Violet Coco, has been sentenced to a minimum eight months in prison after blocking part of the Sydney Harbour Bridge earlier this year.

A climate change protester who blocked part of the Sydney Harbour Bridge earlier this year has been sentenced to a minimum of eight months in prison.

Blockade Australia protesters marched through the CBD, blocking peak-hour lanes in the Sydney Harbour tunnel and on the bridge, and also blockaded parts of Port Botany in March and April this year.Tough new penalties for activities that "shut down major economic activity" were introduced by the state government, and supported by NSW Labor.

Good

Not enough!

Fantastic. She should super glue herself to her cell floor too

Should of been 10yrs!

Only one month

Good

Good

Should of been years not months

Put her on bread 🍞 and water.

Good, serves her right

About time these clowns got punished.

Good

Long overdue.

Not responsible journalism. Poor Aunty ABC is a victim of domestic abuse. She has been consistently starved, beaten & Murdochratised.

Climate Change is a business unit of the World Economic Forum

A privileged white girly going to jail - gosh who have thunk it...

Excellent !

Someone posted on another thread about this. She has 7 other convictions as well as this. They are all part of this sentence. So jail term is fair

At least she will have regular access to showers.

Good but it should be years

Hope she gets longer

Very good result. Could have a fine to pay also

So she gets more than peadophiles.

👏👏👏👏👏 I have been stuck in traffic because of these criminals

They are a cult, an anti science cult.

About time they started jailing them.

Thank goodness. Crazy Activists need to be put in jail for harming the community.

Pretty sure the climate is going to change no matter how much you protest it

Good.

Good

Excellent

Deserves More than 8 months.

Throw away the key

Should be more of them jailed.

Fantastic

More time than lerhman

About time these domestic terrorists were held to account

great way to incentivise larger scale, anonymous disruptions to the industry directly instead

about time these criminal & scammers were Gaoled.

Good. Your 'climate anxiety' does not excuse your behaviour. Take some xanax.

✔️

Good. She works for a satanic social engineering organization and spreads lies

The dirty little unwashed mole should have been locked up for 20 years.

Good outcome. Stay off the bridge.

She blocked an ambulance from getting to an emergency. Is that ok with the ABC?

climate activists deserve jail

Haha 😂

andrewrdn463 👏👏👏👏👏

Gee, not saying it’s okay to block traffic, but teenager’s break into a home and steel a car at knifepoint put hundreds of people at risk and get sent home with no penalty to do it all again.

Yet a rapists go free.

Excellent news.

Hey abcnews now we know big tech censored the Hunterbiden laptop story to influence an election.. do you want to maybe do a story on that..? Perhaps even apologise for participating in the cover up

Give em 10 years.

Should read ‘serial pest who does more damage to own cause than good, jailed’

Should’ve got longer.

Finally, vandalus extremists

good i hope she gets sued too.

Absolutely stinks. Here in Melbourne we had two years of disruptions from the generally cooked anti-vaxxers and not one of them went beyond a little tap on the knuckles. This is a justice system fail.

I'm very concerned about climate change, but you don't go around disrupting people going about their business

No one should ever be jailed for protesting. We live in a democracy. It is your democratic right to protest.

Great news.

I'm a fucking cockhead and I think this is great news.

at least she didn't get shot at by police like other protesters did. she should count her lucky stars

That’s a shame.

Finally a court willing to do something about these protesters

🤣🤣🤣

But if you destroy the emotional well-being of a child you get a lecture and a slap on the wrist. 🤮

'As above, so below' Watch for symbolism..

Excellent news.

Bet they'll keep blocking corridors to protest in the prison.

woot make no difference, had no purpose... selfish and dangerous... give her 10 years!

Fantastic result

Throw away the key for the loser

Repeat offender that's why she is a serial pest.

👏 👏 👏

People cheering on this outrageous jail sentence are authoritarian boot lickers. Those attitudes would fit in better would fit in better somewhere like Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, or China.

Soooogooood

Utter BS, our Judges are so weak in sentencing

Mainstream globalists media pushing climate change hard,like they did the jab so it must be the truth.

should have been years in jail

That's awesome news

🤣 serves her right

Mis Coco is Loco.

Good news for once.

Good. We are all sick to death of these left-wing loonies carrying on thinking they have some privileged right to disrupt the lives of everyone around them. Rot jail you vile Marxist ****

👍

Good start

It’s ok to rape or sexually assault another person, but don’t protest against government…!!!

Hooray these climate activists holding up traffic isn’t that a bit ridiculous as cars etc are letting out whatever from their exhaust and adding to what they are protesting about just a thought

Should have got a permit then

Not years?

Awesome

only 15 months? dang!

Good

tbh prison is a stupid punishment. she's a nuisance but not a dangerous criminal. Just order her (and her ilk) to clean public parks every weekend for a year or something to that effect.

You're just making martyrs for the cause. Send them on a course of study to see what's really happening to the environment...and they'll realise they've been had. When you watch TV, you get PROGRAMMED.

A good start.

You can’t moderate my tweets here like you do on FB

But Joffa gets off... 🙄

Good !!!!

Good

Good

Shell probably get an F ing book deal out of it. Why can't people get real jobs.

I stand with Bruce

Only one of them - the whole organisation needs to be locked up for aiding the process

getting pretty nice ratio here ABC, even for your followers. are you getting the message?

Great news. The extreme left / socialist nutters have no place in Australian society. Lick em up.

Good. Rot in jail scum

With all due charity, do these people really believe that blocking a bridge is going to make your average citizen more concerned about climate change? I think most people are worried about putting food on the table right now.

I like the word YEARS better than MONTHS

And the issue with this is?

Let's inconvenience everyday people and want them to support our cause! Good strategy!

Years might be a more effective deterrent.

About time

It’s sad how our kids have been brainwashed with ClimateScam and are now suffering the consequences.

finally some good news from the

No where near long enough, at least the judges are starting to get the point let this create a precedent moving forward

So she should be, it’s probably not long enough.

👏👏👏👏hopefully there will be more of it

Hahaha

Hahahaha

About time

Good

Should have been years

Should have got longer.

About time.

Wow,over the top I reckons.

Oh no The consequences of my actions! That’s never happened before!

Disgusting

Now for the others 😅

Excellent hopefully for 5 years !

GOOD!!

Protestor is a bit rich. Problem maker is a better description. Much smarter ways to protest.

good

What does merivale get for blocking off the light rail yesterday

Good

62 yr old man sexually assault 14 yr old girl get 2 yr good behaviour bond,something wrong with law

Brilliant. About time. These upper middle class yobs need to be held to account

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime

Let’s hope it’s doubled on appeal.

Not good enough, they should have glued her to the Hawaii volcanoe to stop the gas

Foolish,foolish girl.With a name like ‘Coco’ should have got life!

good, should be financially fined as well

Whilst I mostly support the actions of most of these actions, dangerous actions should not and cannot be accepted. Same as the vandals wrecking the historical relevant paintings and art in Europe. Unacceptable behaviour. Gluing oneself to the main roads etc will not help us.

8 months for blocking a lane of traffic yet Joffa pleads guilty to sexually abusing a boy and avoid prison due to his 'good character'. Legal system is nailing it.

Should be years. And the ABCs journalists that perpetuate the climate alarmism should be in there with them.

Excellent.

Very good

Good!

This is shameful! People who commit serious crimes against others get less sentences. Sorry for the slight inconvenience to traffic v's a reminder of governments all over the world committing major inconveniences to the future citizens of the planet.

Good!!😀😀

Isn't there a saying about 'when peaceful protest is made impossible, something else is made inevitable'? A great documentary demonstrating what happens when powers don't listen to people's letters and peaceful protests is 'Winter of Fire'.

Should get 12 months more for causing massive air POLLUTION!

8 months. Should be a year minimum.

Congratulations to InsidersABC who have often showcased the press gallery journalists and politicians who agree with jailing anti-climate change protesters. Proud moment David_Speers?

Should be two years

Good

good

Good.

How shocking for someone to be held accountable for their actions, probably the first time in (what is suspect is) her very privileged life.

See ya!

Got off lightly. Should be getting 25 lashes

Absolutely ridiculous

The Australian justice system is in a free-fall

But why does she look blue

Four walls, wash basin, prison best 👏

This is shit

Excrement Rebellion = rich kids pretending to be scientific. I followed their science and found nothing, so I followed the money and that's where I found the science.

LOL.

Justice served.

What a revolting miscarriage of justice.

Thank goodness common sense prevailed

Punish all these terrorists who are just accelerating us towards extinction.

Well done.

Good

look at all these criminals right?

good but need to have been longer

That happens when you break the law.

Great news

Good

Good!

So it's OK to abuse children or rape women, but don't protest against something killing the planet?

Good 👍

👍

Good!

Good.... The tide is turning....

Great news.

Should of got more

And this week a child rapist will (according to the judge) not see a day locked up because of his good character. AFTER he pleaded GUILTY. Something is very very wrong with our system.

And yet a former Victorian mp who drunk drove his BMW into a fence near a child's bedroom ended up on Sky News for the election show. Go figure.

Good

And Joffa will walk

Goody goody.

That is outrageous. How dare they jail her...and let Bruce roam! This country is pathetic.

EADC

However rapists get off free because a juror is convinced to break the rules... justice system on fire

Very good decision

WTF is wrong with the left today?

Good

First offence or repeat offender?

Good stuff

Her problem was not being a male LNP coalition MP. Then she could even ['allegedly'] rape people and not only avoid jail, but get a 6 figure golden parachute.

At last! A magistrate who takes his job seriously.

Good stuff should have received life

Good.

Excellent

Good hopefully more Magistrates will lock more up. These latte sipping hipster wokesters will poop themselves going to the big house..

Good 👍

Hope they lose the key after they lock her up.

She obviously pissed off the wrong ppl.

Terrible sentencing that will increasingly be seen as out of step with Australian values… unless you’re bought and sold by fossil fuel industries.

More than some rapists get

I use this with Greenies.

Should have been years... (the sum total of all the time the many thousands of people waited to get moving again!)

Go to jail… straight to jail 😠😠😠😠

What if the protesters block the path of an emergency vehicle? Do they think of that the grubs?

Hahahaha SUCK EGGS, loser 😂

Hahahaha brilliant

Next they’ll arrest Nurses,carers - ambulance it’s only a matter of time before childcare workers are arrested -many women languish in gaols for poverty/fines/drug procession have mental or physical disabilities..40% Aboriginal all know trauma & injustice well-

FAFO

15 months can be counted in years, guys

Just more proof we're a nationOfCunts AND a nationOfVillains that this gets 8months no parole and rapists just strut about

Try being a martyr in the can.

Good

Excellent news! Take her centrelink off her as well!

Good decision

Excellent lock the eco terrorist up..

not enough, it should be way more, and those politicians and institutions who incite this behaviour using junk science 'climate change' scare-mongering should be on trial as well

She didn't block the Bridge. She blocked one of five lanes on the Bridge. Is it not possible for ABC News to get headlines right?

Repeat offender who was relying on slack judges to allow her to keep offending

If people think a blocked lane of traffic is a huge issue, I wonder what jail terms will be in the offering for politicians / FF lobbyists who prevented action on CC, when the houses are washed away and coastal roads go under at every high tide.

Apparently she found out!

Excellent

This needs to happen more. Protesting solves nothing, especially considering most of the extinction rebellion in my city are over 60 and drive into the city as individuals 🤦🏻‍♂️

Cool. What does Chevron get?

Good stuff and make sure the trash is put to work from 5am to 5pm

Coco Pops in gaol.

Suffer in your jocks!!!!

Excellent news.

Not long enough.

Good. Please, feel free to protest. Just don't block arterial traffic, all the people trying to get to work and home, emergency services, and the lifeblood of Australia in general.

tee hee
