Extinction Rebellion protesters are planning to copy civil disobedience tactics from the unrest in Hong Kong to try to disrupt Australian cities.

"We are not on track to meet any kind of target that would essentially get us out of this mess," Mr Howell said.

Resources Minister Matt Canavan said he recognised the right of protesters to hold their particular point of view.

Why are media outlets like ABC so incurious about the sudden appearance of Extinction Rebellion? The source of their funding, their organisation structure, the key personalities & the actual intent of their disruption tactics?

Why are you promoting this anti-social, nonsense.?

Fair dinkim! Check out wonderful spy prossy you sent me when I was a lad ;)

ABC should give equal coverage to the mainstream, IPCC connected scientists who confirm this 'End of Times' garbage has no scientific basis AND there is no link between 'human induced climate change' and drought. is, yet again, failing to meet its charter.

How do you know an event is being staged/manufactured, to help advance a false narrative and agenda within the public consciousness? Easy, is reporting on it. FakeNewsMedia statesponsoredpropaganda

If they inspired by HK I will suggest they throw fire bottles to shops and buses.

Disrupting traffic, thus being directly responsible for increasing vehicle emissions and getting the public offside will definitely help the cause. 🤷‍♀️

Protest has to hit without someone being on the receiving end. It’s about energy.

Perfect for the office run (and back!)

Hong Kong grinds to a halt as protesters defy mask banHundreds of protesters, almost all masked, staged an unsanctioned march through a popular shopping district in Hong Kong - just a day after the city's leader outlawed face coverings. Not protestors. NED/cia coup puppets. Tell the truth. What about cosmetics? Perhaps some people may instead of wearing a mask, apply make-up to their face in such a manner as to make facial recognition difficult. So where is the line? Isn't the application of any costemic product a form of mask? Com'on, you honestly think a mask ban is going to work? HongKongProtesters

Tim Wilson is a hypocrite and now Albo has just proven to be also. Gives you a strong clue as to which side of democracy and freedom Albo sits. Tim Wilson has no business to meddle into other countries' internal affairs. That's not good for Australia.
