The article has been updated to reflect the new count of 170 protestors arrested!!!

We’re getting near to doubling last year’s 109 (I think?)

Edit to add some new info I’ve received:

• 5000 people in attendance
• 2840 news articles
• 170 arrests is the largest civil disobedience action in Australian history
• Flotilla was on the water for 50+ hours

I won’t be providing details but we had a number of children arrested. We’d all like to highlight the fact that this is a fight for our survival, and that everyday Aussies are turning up en masse to build a better tomorrow. If anyone is considering getting involved with local activism and wants guidance, please reach out at any time, I’m always happy to help. No need to be arrested or anything, there is so much you can do within the law and so much support to be provided to those who break the law, including numerous roles you might not think about.
