A rally and march organised by Rising Tide and Demilitarise Newcastle in Muloobinba/Newcastle on April 11 protested the transition from coal to a weapons industry that is being promoted by Labor and the Coalition.
Greens Senator David Shoebridge told the protesters that the region’s coal workers need a transition, but it should be to sustainable and productive industries, not to the arms manufacturing industries that are fuelling genocide in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran.
