Melbourne: Climate protesters make chilling threat to cause rush hour chaos EVERY morning and afternoon this week
A climate protest organized by Extinction Rebellion has brought traffic to a standstill with promises to continue disrupting commuters all week.
About two dozen protesters began a ‘slow march’ down King Street in Melbourne’s CBD just before 8am on Wednesday.
They were seen wearing high-vis vests while holding up a banner that stretched across the street to stop traffic.
One of the event organizers warned that the group would repeat the protests “every morning this week and for the next two afternoons.”
The protests are expected to reach a peak on Saturday, with around 200 people sitting on the road and blocking traffic until they are arrested by police.
More to come.
