Holy smoke, climate denying trolls are making fake pictures showing a huge mess left behind by the Rising Tide blockade on Newcastle’s Horseshoe Beach. Here’s the original pic vs the fake, which has apparently spread widely on social media. #auspol #AI #fakenews #risingtide
Oops, I missed this letter of mine published in the Newcastle Herald on 10/12:
I WAS slightly puzzled by a few people saying online that Rising Tide left rubbish on Horseshoe Beach after the blockade, as I was aware of the great effort they made to keep the whole area immaculate. It turns out someone faked a photo of the beach covered in rubbish, blaming Rising Tide, and it has spread far and wide on social media. I presume this was the source of the rubbish comments. Just goes to show we need to question everything.

Yesterday I was on 2XX radio in Canberra to chat about this year’s Rising Tide protestival.
Had a lovely convo with Annie about decision-making processes that leave nobody behind, and what it’s like to get arrested and how we stay true to the foundations of non violent direct action and civil disobedience grounded in radical love.
The interview will be online for about 30 days if you want to listen.

Second Day of Blockade.
More coal ships delayed, and a lot of committed protesters making it happen. Awesome work from so many people.

People power in action, stopping another coal ship ✊🏻
View over Horseshoe beach: crowd on shore, gathered kayakers setting out on the water, police launch and bulk carrier (ship) entering the harbour in the channel off the beach. #RisingTide #RisingTide2026 #HorseshoeBeach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU
Did circle back to see what the communal weaving project looked like. 3 woven panels that will be a special carpet. Not sure if it's totally finished yet but i love it! #RisingTide #RisingTide2025 #weaving
For the third year in a row a bunch of deadset legends are blockading the largest coal port in the world.
Wish I could be there, sending lots of love and support from Germany!
Rising Tide 2025.

Later tonight, I’m going to start posting my reflections on this weekend just gone’s #RisingTide blockade of #Newcastle coal port, but here’s a good starting point… I was on the protest site for all of five minutes before I did this interview with Newcastle Herald. Lovely journalist and photographer to chat with.
Excellent work!
The people rise against fossil fuels!

Rising Tide say their actions are peaceful, describing the event as a family-friendly mobilisation with a serious purpose.
