The protest organisers want to include everyone, saying: "We want to welcome all peoples to this event so that we can share space, speak, listen and empower one another." Multiple entrances to Newcastle are closed as the Newcastle shutdown continues. Premier Mark McGowan on Thursday said the protest should be delayed until the pandemic is over. This is the fourth protest by such groups in the space of a week. But WA Police do not intend to shut down the event despite a protester in Melbourne testing positive to the virus. "It is great to see a gathering like this of people coming together for justice and recognition and opening up that discussion," he said. "Worimi man and University of Newcastle professor John Maynard opened the rally, saying the problems of racism and violence were not confined to America, citing the deaths of more than 430 Indigenous Australians in custody since 1991. Hundreds have rallied outside Rio Tinto in Perth to protest explosives in WA's Juukan Gorge. As they neared the park, the crowd laid face down on King Street for nine minutes with their hands behind their backs, in reference to the death of US man George Floyd, who died after being detained by police in Minneapolis on May 25. "Our culture is a gift but it's not being received," Brian Dowd told the crowd. The police also attempted to intimidate protesters in Newcastle, where police called school principals and warned them not to let students attend the protest (which had a permit); and in Wollongong, where police unsuccessfully attempted to force students to march on the footpath, instead of the road. The Church of Almighty God Recommended for you Hundreds of people have rallied outside Rio Tinto's Perth headquarters to protest the mining giant's destruction of a significant indigenous site in Western Australia.Explosives detonated in an area of the Juukan Gorge last month destroyed two deep-time rock shelters dating back 46,000 years, causing great distress to the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people in the state's north.Rio Tinto has apologised but refused to say whether reparations are being considered.Organiser and Noongar man Robert Eggington told the crowd of about 300 peaceful protesters on Tuesday that Rio had exploited the weakness of WA's Aboriginal heritage legislation. But the government has played down calls for a moratorium on any further work already granted under Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act, saying this would bring a lot of non-mining private sector and government work to a halt. "Family that I've lost to it [racism]; it's a big thing for me and my kids and our family," she said. Police reported no incidents of violence, no injuries, no arrests and no damage to property. ... Newcastle East Public School frustration after special religious education group goes against parent wishes.  AT least 3000 people took part in Sunday’s March In March rally in Newcastle, one of more than two dozen cities across Australia to hold such events. Mr Eggington called upon Rio Tinto iron ore chief executive Chris Salisbury to resign and for a 100km buffer to be placed around the Juukan caves to prevent further damage. "It's so important to understand how Rio Tinto came like a thief in the night and blew away a site ... that surpassed the last ice age." "The huge crowd then took to the city's streets, marching along Hunter and King Streets to Civic Park.At one stage hundreds of protestors blocked the intersection of King and Darby Streets, lying on their stomachs chanting, "I can't breathe".It was an emotional experience for many attending the rally. "The anti-coal protests over the last 72 hours by activists ideologically opposed to coal mining have wasted valuable emergency services resources and impeded the jobs of the thousands of people who rely on mining for their incomes," the council said. Police estimated the crowd swelled to about 5000 as protesters marched through the city and gathered at Civic Park. "It's great to see people gathering for justice and recognition that we need to change. "What is going on?" "They used that against the people and then turned and blamed (it on) misunderstandings between the company and the custodians of that site," Mr Eggington said. In the 1800s, Newcastle was one of the most successful coal mining towns in northwestern Washington. Our lives matter. When: Saturday June 13, 10 a.m. To date protesters have targeted mines, railways, and port infrastructure. It's not constructive in any way and damages the reputation of the Hunter as a place to live, bring up families and do business.” This is not the first time Rising Tide has taken action in Newcastle. We've got to change everything. We are working closely with community leaders and action groups through forums such as the Upper Hunter Mining Dialogue to develop direct plans to address concerns like dust and rehabilitation. The rally began at Pacific Park where an estimated crowd of 3500 heard that "oppression must end today" and was told the story of Rebecca Maher, who didn't commit a crime but died in a police cell in Maitland in 2016. Rio Tinto has apologised but refused to say whether reparations are being considered. Speakers told the crowd "this is a peaceful gathering, violence is not acceptable, violence is what brought us here".
