DescriptionThe thin blue line finally turn up to Downer Stop Adani protest - IMG 2753.jpg
English: Protest against Downer's involvement with Adani's massive reef-wrecking, climate-destroying, mega coal mine in the Galilee Basin on 25 November 2017.
Downer EDI is an infrastructure & construction company which has signed an agreement with Adani to set up and operate the Carmichael coal mine. They've won a $2 billion contract to be the main company responsible for the mine- and they have a corporate office in a building on Collins street in Melbourne's CBD.
The protest was peaceful. There were speeches including indigenous activist Kim Bullimore and Greens federal member for Melbourne Adam Bandt, fresh back from the UN climate conference in Bonn.
Chalk was used to write out anti-coal and stop Adani messages to Downer and Adani on the pavement. About 30 minutes after the protest ended a pavement sweeping machine was brought in by the building management to clean the chalk messages.
