The New South Wales government has imposed an exclusion zone around Newcastle harbour, making it off limits to the public for four days .

Climate protesters say the move is an unprecedented move from politicians “trying to bully and intimidate Newcastle locals protesting by banning us from our own beaches” Rising Tide’s revised plan was to paddle out on the Newcastle harbour from Friday 22 November to Sunday 24 November , staying close to shore and not entering the shipping channel.
