Led by Aunty Carol Prior, a Juru elder and traditional custodian of the Abbot Point area and other local leaders, the community protestors delivered a pledge of commitment to protect the Great Barrier Reef and global climate by preventing the Abbot Point coal port from going ahead.

The campaign thrived after last summer’s Israeli offensive on Gaza, which killed over 2,200 Palestinians, most of them children and civilians, and injured at least 11,000 people. The aggression turned tables against Israel and exposed war crimes that were strongly condemned by international bodies, strengthening BDS.

This means refusing to co-operate. It means joining or building radical mass movements. It means carrying out sustained acts of civil disobedience, as Kayactivists are doing in Seattle and fishing communities such as Kodiak, Cordova and Homer, as well as a dozen indigenous tribes, are doing in Alaska, to physically halt fracking, drilling for oil and natural gas or U.S. Navy training exercises in the pristine waters of the Arctic. It means striking for a $15 minimum wage. It means blocking city streets to demand an end to the indiscriminate use of lethal force by militarized police, especially against poor people of color. It means, in large and small ways, acts of open rebellion. It means always having as the primary objective the disrupting and overthrowing of corporate power. It means not playing the game.

"The Australian parliament's involvement in the TPP treaty process is already set at fast track and will be nothing but a rubber stamp.
“The Australian public and its parliamentary representatives gets precisely zero say in how Australia should negotiate these complex and secret treaties but in the US they have all-in brawls between parties and within parties of the merits of these agreements.
“It is also telling that the fate of the TPP which will cut across all aspects of Australian regulation will primarily be decided in a foreign parliament and not in our own".
