Climate activists from Rising Tide have blocked three ships from entering the Port of Newcastle, Australia's largest coal port, on the fourth day of protests. The blockade, which began on Thursday and will continue until Tuesday, is part of a campaign demanding that the Albanese government cancel planned fossil fuel projects and tax existing operations at 78%. Thousands of people gathered for Rising Tide's annual climate protest at the port. The protesters are seeking to raise awareness about the impact of coal mining on the environment and public health. The blockade has turned back two additional ships, bringing the total number of vessels halted this weekend to three.
