‘We will come for you’: Climate protesters hit with stern warning

Blockade Australia launched the protest activity from 8am, with about 100 demonstrators causing heavy delays by blocking roads in the heart of the city and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Tunnel.

The public was reminded that police must be informed about legal protest activity, with Assistant Commissioner Dunstan issuing a further warning to those considering of joining further Blockade Australia demonstrations during the week. “The behaviour of this group was nothing short of criminal activity the throwing of bicycles, the throwing of garbage bins the throwing of other items in the path of police, in the path of media, in the path of innocent members of the public walking by will not be tolerated,” he said.

Assistant Commissioner Dunstan conceded NSW Police was not aware of where the next protest would be but said officers would be spread out across the city in preparation to limit further demonstrations. "What really they are is nothing short of economic vandals and this kind of action and behaviours will not be tolerated in the state," Mr Toole added.The demonstrators used whatever they could find to delay the traffic in the city.

There were no reported injuries from the protest despite a woman parking across the two southbound lanes at the entrance to the Sydney Harbour Tunnel in North Sydney and a car driving through a crowd of people in the city.

Let's see what the Judges do.

Fascism. You heard it here

The state is captured by fossil fuel interests…and they come for the protestors.

Good on police this time for arresting the climate extremists! There is no climate crisis!

Good

Maybe they should knock on the doors of the fossil fuel corporations stealing our money and destroying our only home dontlookup

How come the cops treated them so nicely,where was the capsicum spray,rubber bullets slamming people to the ground.

Check if they are in Centrelink club! Lock them up! No respect for law & order spoilt brats.

The real climate activists are in Parliament and are about to unleash financial pain on every citizen in this country.... Need some arrests there too... 🙄👍🦘🇦🇺
