Thousands from across the country have gathered for Rising Tide protestival in Newcastle to raise awareness about the largest coal port in the world. Last year over 100 were arrested on the water after the port was closed for over 30 hours. This year the NSW government introduced restrictions to block the beach from all public use until 8am Monday but the Supreme Court of NSW this afternoon ruled the exclusion zone over Newcastle harbour was invalid. Tim Hollo from the Green Institute discusses the events.
