Port of Brisbane/Melbourne/Newcastle - Protestors Shut Down Access to Ports - Update

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) would like to advise that along with our earlier notice regarding major traffic delays leading into the Port of Brisbane, that Melbourne and Newcastle were also impacted with coordinated action targeting ports in Newcastle, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Activists shut down the busy motorways accessing the ports, causing massive delays.

Blockade Australia said in a statement the protests were part of a "coordinated mobilisation in response to Australia's facilitation of the climate and ecological crisis and its active blocking of impactful action towards a safe climate".

Latest reports suggest the protesters have now been cleared and operations have resumed with delays clearing at all three ports.
