      Per the article, there has been a “rapid escalation” of efforts to criminalise and repress climate and environmental protest in Australia. New South Wales and South Australia have passed tough anti-protest laws. Police in Western Australia, where a lot of mining takes place, have been very aggressive in surveilling climate protestors. A few weeks ago, protestors attempting to blockade a coal port in New South Wales were met by tactical police wearing balaclavas. This feeds into a wider trend of civil liberties being eroded in Australia under the guise of safety and security.

      Blocking roads and critical infrastructure or damaging property which is the common trend is fair game for the cops.

      Huge cost to society and it has the opposite negative effect. Big conspiracy that its even funded by the very same companies to draw attention away from the actual issues.
      (ie ‘protesting ban oil’ to draw attention away from logging centuries old forests in Tasmania)

      To the credit, many actual environments are doing a-lot of good exposing the government’s downright criminal ties to mining and logging companies.

      Western Australian here, there’s currently turmoil over the building of a new gas processing plant and fertiliser factory on the Burrup peninsula. At the site there are endangered turtle nesting grounds as well as rock art of clear cultural significance. For either of these reasons building on the site should be illegal according to our state and federal laws.
      The site since been closed to the public, with police barricading (however oil and gas employees seem to still have access) and approvals for the buildings have gone recently put through with suspiciously little oversight. The emissions from the processing plant alone will likely stop all of Australia from meeting its internationally agreed climate goals. Our media local and national are all owned by 2 or 3 individuals and reporting about this, if any, has been extremely bias. Our border protection flags any climate or environmental protesters preventing them from entering the country. Both sides of our elected government officials have a history of becoming mining or oil and gas employees once their time in office is finished.

      Haven’t you heard?!?? Trump won. He’ll be crowned king on 20 Jan. Australia will look like a litter of kittens by comparison after then.

      Have you met our politicians? They’re all owned by pro-fossil fuel and mining interest groups. Australia is rich in natural resources but none of the general population see that wealth. Our schooling systems and manufacturing industries continue to be defunded while our politicians get cushy jobs from billionaires after they leave politics. Meanwhile, people who have called out state and federal corruption have had [their houses firebombed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-MC6sD6Rx8).
