About 100 people rallied outside the Downing Centre Court in Sydney on July 23 to support Jonathan Moylan, the environmental activist who is facing charges under the Corporations Act for his alleged "hoax" that exposed ANZ bank's funding of mining activities by Whitehaven Coal, which threaten community health and agricultural land at Maules Creek, as well as the survival of koala populations in Leard State Forest in northern NSW.

Moylan is facing up to 10 years' jail and $495,000 in fines on charges brought by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, under provisions that have never been used before, despite multiple cases of fraud and insider trading by big companies over recent years.
