I almost feel sorry for these delusional useless eaters, actually thinking they will be listened to by the powers that be.

If only they spent this much effort on finding a job.

For the people that are defending them, why weren't you with them if you believe in protesting so much?

Kerri-Anne Kennerley says climate change protesters should be used as SPEED BUMPS - as she blasts demonstrators for causing disruption to major cities


Kerri-Anne Kennerley has launched a blistering rant at climate change protesters as a week of demonstrations paralyses the country.

The Studio 10 host said that protesters causing disruption should be used as speed bumps or starved in jail.

Speaking on channel 10 on Wednesday morning, she said: 'Personally, I would leave them all super glued to wherever they do it.'

Referring to a protester who attached a hammock to a bridge in Brisbane, she said: 'The guy hanging from the Story Bridge. Why send emergency services? Leave him there until he gets himself out.

'No emergency services should help them, nobody should do anything, and you just put little witches hats around them, or use them as a speedbump.'

Kennerley noted that her words were controversial, saying: 'Oh, we're going to get into trouble! Is that wrong?'

But then she continued: 'Put them in jail, forget to feed them!'

Thousands of climate change protesters have descended on Australia's capital cities for a week of disruptive protests which include 'sit ins' on busy roads, flash mobs and singalongs.

In Brisbane protesters have promised a 'Water Birth For A Better Earth' event at Southbank River Quay.

'Swarming Flash Mobs' will also roam Queens Gardens throughout the week.

A 'swarm for survival' is planned for Wednesday, an 'extinction rave' for Friday night and a 'nudie parade' for Saturday.



In Sydney protesters have insisted they will not disrupt Sydney's rail network as they continue their week-long action to highlight climate change.

More than 40 activists have been arrested in the city so far, with some saying they are willing to risk their liberty in order to bring climate issues to the fore.

NSW police said on Tuesday they were aware of plans for Extinction Rebellion demonstrators to target the Sydney rail network on Wednesday, and urged the group to not disrupt travellers and commuters.

Mick Willing, NSW Police assistant commissioner, said: 'The rail network is an integral part of the integrity of the city so I would ask that protesters not disrupt people going about their day-to-day rail travel, and to ensure that they are safe.'

An Extinction Rebellion spokeswoman said the group's actions would not be disruptive, but instead would involve activists simply boarding trains and speaking to commuters about climate issues.

A group met at Central Station on Wednesday morning.

In Melbourne at least 100 protesters are expected to camp each night in Carlton Gardens.



A planned tram strike has been called off in Melbourne because of safety concerns around ongoing climate protests in the city.

Tram drivers had planned to walk off the job between 10am and 2pm on Thursday but the Rail, Tram and Bus Union agreed to postpone the action because of Extinction Rebellion actions.

'In a show of good faith, the RTBU have chosen to withdraw their notice to take industrial action this week,' Yarra Tram chief executive Nicolas Gindt said in a statement.

'At the end of the day, safety is top priority for everybody at Yarra Trams.'

There were concerns around safety and drivers would also have been trapped on their trams if they were locked-in.



The union wants a five per cent annual pay rise over three years, a change from their initial demand of a six per cent increase.

But strikes could still continue if the tram company does not meet the union's demands, according to a spokesman.

In South Australia, activists will disrupt Adelaide's CBD, with similar events planned in Sydney during the week.

On Tuesday, 29 Extinction Rebellion protesters - including Paul Jukes, who suspended himself in a hammock from Brisbane's Story Bridge - were arrested and charged after blocking roads, chaining themselves to fences and attaching themselves to devices such as drums filled with cement.

The wave of recent protests has prompted state governments to draft new laws to punish protesters.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Wednesday condemned this week's Extinction Rebellion protests saying activists are putting themselves and others at risk, and soaking up valuable police and emergency services resources.

She said the government wants to push through proposed laws in just days that could jail protesters for up to two years if they use 'dangerous devices' such as drums with concrete and locks.

Queensland Police would also get increased powers to search people for such devices.

REVEALED: WHERE ACTIVISTS WILL TARGET THIS WEEK
Melbourne: They plan to occupy the CBD on Tuesday and are prepared for peaceful arrests.

A 'swarm for survival' is planned for Wednesday, an 'extinction rave' for Friday night and a 'nudie parade' for Saturday.



Sydney: Monday at Fig Tree Lawn at the Botanical Gardens.

A march starting in Belmore Park to occupy the streets of Sydney. Tuesday: Rally at Town Hall. Friday: Demonstration on Manly beach. Saturday: Seaside die-in at Coogee. Sunday: Form an hourglass symbol on the sands of Bondi.

Brisbane: Musgrave Park on Monday then Queens Gardens in the CBD every day. On Friday 11th, activists will conclude the week with a public occupation and shut-down of the William Jolly Bridge.



Adelaide:
Monday: The Ground Beneath Our Feet Spring Rebellion Picnic. Traffic Swarm for Food Lovers on Tuesday, Loss and Lamentation: Die In Rundle Mall on Wednesday, Nutbush City Limits Traffic Swarm for Climate Change on Thursday and Spring Rebellion Block Party on Friday. Saturday: Stand Up and Sing for Climate Action.

The Human Rights Law Centre says the government has a legitimate interest in ensuring peaceful protests but that this law goes too far.

'Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has reportedly refused to produce evidence to support her claims that in recent protests, people have deliberately created lock-on devices that could harm police and emergency services attempting to remove them,' lawyer Alice Drury said.

'This proposed law could impose harsh prison sentences for their use in very broad circumstances, even if it's just blocking a footpath.

'We are seeing a clear and worrying wave of laws from governments across Australia that restrict people's ability to stand together and speak out on issues they care deeply about.'

However, state Police Minister Mark Ryan said there was plenty of anecdotal evidence that protesters were 'booby-trapping' devices with wire, metal and glass.

'We've received advice from police that they have found evidence of materials in these devices that could cause harm,' he told ABC radio.

'What we're seeing is an escalation in some activities and of course the laws have to be nimble to respond to these escalating tactics.'

Vegans remind of people who want to live a healthy life,but also want to binge drink and party on the weekends!

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, I believe is the phrase people use for those deluded people?

I never would have thought she had it in her
Lol if she was on her way to a bar for a breakfast drink and these turds were interfering with her getting there, then she’d have no trouble saying vindictive things!

Mate after she absolutely owned Yumi Stynes earlier this year, I had new-found respect for her.

Watch this video - at 2:00 you actually see the knockout blow LOL.

why are you acting like phones make a difference? like piers morgan was attacking the protesters for going to mcdonalds

the only thing that needs to happen is no more coal power plants and use better cars, you can still use your phone, keep your lights on all night, have 5 screens going, eat 50 double quarter pounders, use your fridge and kerri anne can still use her vibrator
