Rising Tide action: If Albanese won't stand up to polluters, the people will

A past blockade of Newcatle harbour by Rising Tide.

At the weekend, thousands of Newcastle locals and people from across Australia will join grassroots community organisation Rising Tide, on Worimi and Awabakal waters, for the People's Blockade of the world's largest coal port.

Those attending will disrupt coal exports for two days to demand the halt of new fossil fuel projects, and the introduction of a 75 per cent federal tax on fossil fuel export profits to pay for community and industrial transition, and climate loss and damage overseas.
