Copying a comment I made in another thread:

This will probably be my final update for the Newcastle action, thanks so much for your words of support, I've passed them on to those still at the camp and they're very grateful. Keep an eye on the news for further protests in Canberra over the coming days, share news articles you see with friends and family as this is how we get our message to the government. Our voices will be heard! ✊

Property seized by police has been returned, this included items belonging to Rising Tide as well as personal property of some activists.

The protest has gone global in some sense. A group in Rotterdam Holland blocked a coal train in solidarity with everyone at Rising Tide's People's Blockade. I love those people so much, solidarity is our strength and we are full of it now.
