Police arrested another nine people on Monday as climate change protests continued at the Newcastle port for a sixth day.
The latest arrests follow 37 on Sunday, with environment groups aiming to shut down coal exports from Newcastle, the world’s biggest coal port.
Five activists chained themselves to a conveyor belt at the Kooragang coal export terminal at the port about 6am (AEST) Monday, halting coal loading for more than two hours.
