Ok thanks heaps for looking :) First mention I can find so far is Terrania Creek forest protests by they were hammocks.... I might have to broaden my definition of a tree-sit to not include a platform!

Oh awesome thank you! I'm getting so desperate that even just mention of a tree will do :)

Hello! On the off chance... I research environmental activism and am looking for information on the first known tree-sit in Australia. Have searched through archives and can't find anything yet... do you think yours might have info???

Just saw your interview on Planet America in Australia, thank you for such a great interview which was so compelling and powerful, filled with so many truths that are being silenced. Thank you!

We at the Commons Social Change Library are mapping and analysing the Australian climate movement to see what groups are working on various issues (including the energy transition) and what their impact/success rates are - info for activists, funders and academics :) movementmonitor.org

In 2020 community action through Save Beeliar Wetlands and Rethink the Link now focuses on revegetation and stopping the remaining Perth Freight Link. This #campaign shows how long term resistance using multiple, escalating action repertoires - alongside a large dose of perseverance - can succeed.

In 2017 the McGowan Labor Government was elected. As promised, the #Roe8 section was cancelled, with freehold land transferred into a new conservation reserve for permanent protection. By then, more than 80 hectares had already been bulldozed.

The protests resulted in aggressive police responses. @CounterActOz & the @BeeliarLegalSupport team reported on the #Roe8 protests outlining unlawful assaults, horse tramplings, inappropriate use of force & violence directed by senior officers. www.youtube.com/embed/yL8LLF...

After decades of trying all other means, the local community used #nonviolentprotest in the lead up to the 2017 state election. Thousands of people engaged in #directaction barricading fences and stopping bulldozers for over 8 weeks.

Clearing work accelerated in late 2016 by the then Liberal government. This clearing continued despite the Main Roads Department providing recommendations for less destructive and damaging alternatives.
