Community members and supporters yesterday staged a walk-in through the police exclusion zone in the lower Weld Valley. Around 50 people walked through a police line and continued their walk to the site of the demolished Weld blockade and Weld Ark pirate ship. Tasmanian Greens leader MHA Peg Putt attended the walk-in to show her party's support for the campaign.
During the walk-in 7 people were arrested for non-violent, peaceful protest. Police seemed to target anyone who was towards the front of the walking group, arresting them, and then dropping them outside the exclusion zone at the Eddy Road forestry gate.
Total arrests since the Weld Camp raid on the 15th of November have now reached 27.
