Mr Rankine said he'd never before been in trouble with police, in fact, working closely with officers when he held positions in his local municipality.
Police arrested 59 people in Melbourne's CBD today after Extinction Rebellion protestors refused to move from the centre of the Spring Street and Collins Street intersection. Trams and cars were diverted through other parts of the city with Spring Street closed in both directions at the Collins Street intersection effecting trams on routes 48, 109, 35, 11 and 12.
Activists split into small groups this-morning before taking off from Carlton Gardens. Those who were willing to be arrested were classified as "arrestables". Police were called to the location just before 6am, where they found Paul Jukes hanging in a makeshift hammock surrounded by Extinction Rebellion flags.
It is unclear when the engineer, with over 30 years rockclimbing experience, set up his post, or how police managed to coax him down, but there is still a lane closed on the bridge and commuters are still feeling the impact of Jukes and hundreds of other protesters actions throughout the city. "I strongly disagree with the prohibition on entering a public event, but the 2.5 kilometre just seems remarkable to me," Ludlam told AAP.
The Extinction Rebellion climate protests movement has planned a "spring rebellion" from Monday to Sunday, including marches aimed at blocking traffic.Protesters have gathered outside The West Australian demanding the media "tell the truth or else". "Until it is (front page news), we'll have to keep disrupting the agenda with creative actions targeting the major institutions standing in the way of rapid change," he said.
