VICTORIAN Police have arrested three protesters who have demonstrated at the Hazelwood power station near Morwell in Victoria on 28 March 2009.
The protesters were part of a group of 30 people who were protesting Australia’s reliance on non-renewable energy in light of Earth Hour.
Two protesters chained themselves to a conveyor belt, briefly disrupting the supply of coal between the Hazelwood mine and the power plant.
The group claims the Hazelwood facility is one of the most polluting coal-fired power stations in the industrialised world. They say it emits 5% of the country’s annual emissions.
