Six Degrees have shut down a queensland coal port with direct action today.  See Brisbane Times article for more…

Two protesters have been arrested after shoving their hands into a conveyor belt loading coal onto a Taiwanese ship set to leave Brisbane this morning.

The pair were among four protesters who jumped the fence at the Queensland Coal Port and locked themselves to a metal pipe near the conveyor belt.

Meanwhile, 16 other protesters kayaked across the Brisbane River, dodging police boats to delay coal ship Formosabulk No.4, which was sailing to Taiwan with 90,000 tonnes of Queensland coal.

The protesters are from Six Degrees, the Climate Change arm of Friends of the Earth, who are taking widespread direct action against Australia’s increasing coal exports.
