About this episode

An interview with John Wurcker discussing the Rising Tide's efforts to end coal exports from Newcastle.

An interview with John Wurcker from the Newcastle Rising Tide crew in 2025, a week before the blockade. Rising Tide is committed to ending coal exports from Newcastle, the worlds biggest coal port. They are holding "protestivals" to shut down the shipping lane into the port every year which are growing in size and effect, in 2024 turning around a massive coal ship with their kayaks. www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025
