‘Much more minimal than they wanted’: Extinction Rebellion protest quashed by police

Extinction Rebellion protests this morning didn’t cause the disruption those involved were hoping for, after they caused serious delays for motorists yesterday.

Today Show reporter Izabella Staskowski told Tony Jones police were “incredibly swift and incredibly organised” in getting protesters off Exhibition Street during the morning peak, where they were causing traffic delays.

“The disruption today was certainly much more minimal than I think they wanted,” she said.
