What's everyone opinion on protests like this? Imo this gets a decent message out there with pretty minimal impact to anything other than the businesses managing and utilising the port as well as emergency services.

Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

It's apparently what people want, everytime protesters shut down roads there's the usual complains from the shock jocks and co:
Oh they're causing trouble for regular people it's just annoying they could have blocked an ambulance blah blah blah
Pretty hard to argue against protests like this though without looking like a corporate lapdog.
Oh they're causing trouble for regular people
The news story I saw about this took that angle anyway 😆
