what's the point in charging them? They will just be let out again. At least if you hit them with a large monetary fine they might think twice. But then again these morons don't think at all

The world is ending in 12 years 😂

These supposed climate change protesters arrived in Cars filled with fuel which was burnt into the atmosphere, what a joke

Now charge them with terror offences and lock them up with criminal conviction for at least 5 years A gives them time to reflect before being deported and any Australian citizenship cancelled !!!

Should’ve left them there till the sea level rose, then they could swim away.

Climate change protesters abseil down Sydney Harbour BridgeGreenpeace activists have abseiled down the Sydney Harbour Bridge, demanding the major political parties do more to deal with climate change. Tell Greenpeace we much prefer yesterday’s naked lady on a horse protest. Don't they know any disruption to the Harbour Bridge causes traffic chaos in Sydney. So people end up sitting in longer traffic queues burning fuel and not moving.

Greenpeace activists scale Sydney Harbour BridgeGreenpeace activists scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of a protest over climate change. Luv Greenpeace. Will send them another donation. EnvironmentalJustice Just cut the ropes..... The far left is desperate because they realise that fusion will soon be a commercial option & it will change the entire debate making their psychological manipulations fail. When they talk about borrowed time they are referring to themselves & the huge scam they perpetrated.
