Rebels Leena, Ea, Mary and John were arrested as part of a disruptive action at the State Government’s Roundtable for Oil and Gas at the National Wine Centre in October.

Together they interrupted Minister for Energy and Mining, Tom Koutsantonis' address by locking and gluing themselves to the internal doors of the National Wine Centre, resulting in charges of trespass.

The room stopped and listened as rebels gave powerful testimonies about the hypocrisy of declaring a climate emergency while actively supporting the oil and gas industry.

Even Tom Koutsantonis MP was forced to admit, "Make no mistake, they [Extinction Rebellion] are making an impact".

Cathy was arrested and charged with failing to cease loitering.

For everyone everywhere interested in Extinction Rebellion this talk, ‘Heading for Extinction (and what to do about it)’ is your entry point. We are facing climate and ecological catastrophe, and time is running out. Our political system is broken and our leaders are failing to protect us.

Find out about Extinction Rebellion, an international movement using non-violent mass civil disobedience as a tried and tested way to force governments to take the action that is needed.

'Heading for Extinction and what to do about it’ generally precedes the Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA)/Civil Disobedience training. This introductory talk and NVDA training will help you get involved with the XR movement. We also run a weekly online orientation/Q&A space for new rebels: "Getting Started in XR", introduces you to Extinction Rebellion, how it works, what its aims, principles and values are, and how you can get involved. NVDA training is for those who want to participate in mass actions.

‘Heading for Extinction and what to do about it’ provides an up-to-date and honest picture of what is causing the climate emergency, and what needs to happen, urgently, to prevent the worst of climate disasters. There are opportunities for questions and discussion.

Come and explore how you can be part of the rebellion, starting now! All states and countries welcome.

During the Women's Stage One race at the Santos Tour Down Under, Beatrix, Mag and Jayne joined a group of women baring breasts and bums in protest against Santos' sponsorship of the event.

The group of woman ranging in age from 58 to 78 firstly exposed their breasts as they unbuttoned their tops to reveal the message: SANTOS SUX. They then proceed to turn around and undo the flaps covering their backsides to reveal the message: DUMP SANTOS!

Police then proceeded to arrest Beatrix, Mag and Jayne. It is unclear to us why only these three rebels were targeted. All three were charged with indecent behaviour.

On eve of the Santos Tour Down Under rebels Dharma and Anna glued themselves to a pile of bicycles chained together on the road outside Santos HQ. Fake oil was poured from the building down onto road and over the bicycles and rebels drawing the connection between Santos' dirty oil money and the Tour Down Under.
