The battle over the climate is escalating, and nowhere more than in Western Australia, where a new generation of protesters is prepared to break the law to make their point.

When this happened Meg O’neil ran around town exclaiming how fearful she’d been. But the cops were there, at her house, waiting for the activists.

And whats happened since? Has the Woodside exec been hassled? I haven’t heard about anything more. The activists have though. Who should actually be afraid of who in this situation?

    That seems like a retaliation to the people saying they weren’t targeting the right people when protestors blocked traffic - well now they’re targeting the right people!

      They’ve done something similar and Redditors still got mad because they said it was going too far. The reality is that a lot of people don’t like protests and will continue to shift the goal posts until you’re nothing more than an easily ignorable group holding signs on the side of the road.

        Nothing is. It’s never been a legitimate criticism. It has always been an attempt at justifying a stance against the idea of protesting at all.
