Entrance to the ports of Melbourne and Brisbane was blocked yesterday and today by the climate action group Blockade Australia. According to a report by Sky News Australia, activists "disrupted both shipments and peak hour traffic for a second day in a row."

The demonstrations warranted police interference after causing massive traffic delays on Tuesday morning. According to the latest news, the motorways have been cleared, but drivers were advised to expect delays.

Activists from the climate group claim the action intends to block coal transport and attract attention to climate issues, reports Crisis24. It remains unknown if activists will extend their protests this week, but other protests are possible.
