This week, I will be the first person to be prosecuted for protesting against Woodside’s Burrup project. This is the story of the raid on my home and the six-month wait for a hearing.

    Nah, we’re acknowledging they “lawful” is a bullshit metric.

    It’s lawful to kill the planet and us along with it, it’s illegal to bring attention to those who are doing it.

    Clearly one cannot operate under such a deeply flawed system.

      As I said at the outset: I’m sympathetic to the cause. I have grave concerns about the planet and how as a species, we are causing immeasurable damage with our reckless treatment of resources. Nobody is defending the company nor denying she has a worthy goal at heart.

      But all of that is beside the point. The point is her central premise is deeply flawed: she is simply not on trial for protesting Woodside.
