Extinction Rebellion demonstrators have been arrested in Sydney after clogging Pitt Street and Martin Place with a protest during which they denounced Prime Minister Scott Morrison as a “climate criminal”.

Dressed as elves, reindeer and lying on the ground pretending to be dead, the protesters surrounded a demonstrator dressed as Mr Morrison in a Santa Claus outfit in a

sleigh with the slogan “coal slays life”. Police Rescue was called in to remove protesters who attached themselves to the sleigh with glue. Image: Twitter / @Dave_Millar

We support Hong Kong democracy, where is our democracy.

So why were they arrested?

'Major roads across the state were closed on Saturday due to bushfire dangers' Major routes (road and rail) to and from Sydney have been cut by climate change = AustraliaFires. And yes, Prime Minister Scott Morrison IS a climate criminal.

I noticed the greenies the ignored diesel generator next to Xmas tree which was emitting climate changing diesel fumes

Let them sit in the sun

Clog up busy streets, traffic idles for over an hour all the while pumping out greenhouse gases. They are concerned about the climate right? auspol

when they glue themselves to the road leave them there let there mates to look after them

you can keep on arresting the people who belong to extinction rebellion but there are more where they came from, a lot more and growing every day.

Let's face it, Morriscum is a (man made) Climate Change Denier; he really is an arsehole.

Thank you ExtinctionR for protesting. Those of us who dread what climate change means for our young children appreciate you putting your liberty on the line for future generations.

Hail to the chief.

Marching in the streets will not identify, capture and prosecute the arsonists. Focus on the root cause of the starting of these fires and address. Hint: spontaneous CO2 based combustion is NOT the root cause.

Who cares about crazy activists. At some point arrest them. Stop reporting their stunts.

About bloody time!

Why should foreign Marxists (Extinction something...) from the UK be allowed to interfere in our domestic political affairs. These POMS should be put on the first prison ship back to where they came from.

So much for freedom of speech. I don't agree with them, but if you ban protests you ban real democracy

Well in fact it is normal when the Indian Ocean Diapole. Or whatever is influencing our climate. This is a natural occurrence. It’s not climate change it’s climate. It’s currently flooding in Eastern Africa as always happens. And dry as a dead dogs singer here. It will change.

Why he’s not here.

JKBioProject They should be coming for you shisters soon as well, the toilet bowl for failed journalists.

Police have better things to do than waste our valuable tax resources on these simpletons. Every dollar spent on minding over these climate doucebags means one less dollar for real needs within the community. What a complete waste.

Climate criminal

KaushalyaFem They used to slightly annoy me but not anymore - they’re RIGHT and I like reading about them now 🇦🇺 . ... Enjoy your bloody holiday Scomo ?

Is that a crisis... Because if it is Smoko won't be there.

klimateklowns

Keep them in jail over Christmas

They could always put themselves to some constructive use and do something for the bushfire effort. But that’s just wishful thinking I suppose.

jail them

Climate Criminal? Sounds ok?

NSWGR8022 Green gay activists at it again. They should be OK in ten to fifteen years I reckon.

Extinction rebellion! We would all be better off if these ass clowns were all extinct

The climateclowns strike again.... They must have all been given the day off work😂

The cops should have just violently yanked his mask until it came off.. We need more police brutality when it comes to these brainwashed zombies

We ALL know who the criminals are, who the hate mongers are, who want to destroy Australia. gobacktoyoursorrylives

Doing my part

Gotta love Climate Cult members so brain washed

equityliberty But that's true isn't it?

They're absolutely correct, he is. And so is the owner of this 'news' outlet.

Another ridiculous demonstration from climatehysteria uncontrolled unfounded and stupid. They are not criminals but offenders and they should pay fines to cover the police and legal costs.

This is not normal

It must be very irritating for bypassers and drivers, knowing it is their taxes paying for this looney bunch to block the streets, choke up police, and inhibit taxpayers from going about their business.

At least Glady's B hasn't issued a no touch policy, like Daniel Andrews

Idiots !!! Need to get out and get jobs

The filth that is ExtinctionRebellion auspol

Should have let them stay outside Kirribilli house seeing as it is empty. Nice and out of the way. *shrugs* Extinct rebels AteMyCat

Sky news why aren’t you getting stuck into Scummo for failing to be here during this period of Australia burning? Is it because Rupert won’t let you? Grow some balls do your jobs.

Go home and let the grown ups go about their lawful business. If you want to change things go through the ballot box! Oh yeah, you tried that last May. How did that go?

They are less likely to light fires when they are protesting

Notice how these cultists never leave the inner sanctums of their cities. They never seem to protest in Mount Druitt or Lakemba only near their latte soy cafes.

Total nutcases.

Stunning and brave.

Peter_Fox59 would believe police are doing the wrong thing here, or is ok to arrest people blocking the road? No according to this ex police officer no one these days should be spoken with talked to or interacted with. No lime light in backing cops hay Peter

I love these flogs.
