The battle over the climate is escalating, and nowhere more than in Western Australia, where a new generation of protesters is prepared to break the law to make their point.

When this happened Meg O’neil ran around town exclaiming how fearful she’d been. But the cops were there, at her house, waiting for the activists.

And whats happened since? Has the Woodside exec been hassled? I haven’t heard about anything more. The activists have though. Who should actually be afraid of who in this situation?

    Same thing happened in the UK, block traffic and they say you're just hurting normal working people trying to go about their day, which is a fair criticism. So they targeted the PMs house, then got more moral pearl clutching by the same parties. Which slim group of locations and people are legitimate protest targets then?

      Nothing is. It's never been a legitimate criticism. It has always been an attempt at justifying a stance against the idea of protesting at all.
