It also endangers people,” Perrottet told reporters.The 10 activists arrested Monday have all been charged, with many refused bail. There were due to appear in court on Tuesday charged with multiple obstruction and disruption offences.
Blockade Australia says the action will continue all week, with the group planning to “take to the streets” again on Wednesday.
