Police brought an escalated response from day one.
00:03
They've set this exclusion zone up.
00:05
Nevertheless, they lost control of the channel
00:07
within a matter of minutes after we took to the water.
00:10
And that just shows that you can't police your way
00:13
out of policy failures.
00:14
The government should be telling us where the money is for coal workers
00:17
rather than spending public dollars
00:19
to try and stop peaceful protests from happening.
00:22
This turnaround of the CEMTEX that's bouncing
00:26
for more entire coal services.
00:27
Is this a delay?
00:29
Do you think you've turned it around for good?
00:31
No.
00:32
No.
00:33
No.
00:34
Business as usual by all accounts from the Port Authority.
00:36
What kind of win is this going to be?
00:39
The CEMTEX leader will come in
00:41
and I'm sure it will be filled up with coal
00:43
and I'm sure it will go out.
00:44
We have disrupted it.
00:46
And we are right to do so.
00:47
Because when that coal ship goes out,
00:49
that coal will pay royalties of 8-12%,
00:52
which is far less than every single person
00:55
pays on their income tax.
00:57
We are demanding that those coal exports
00:59
that go out of Newcastle are taxed at 78%
01:02
to make sure that we can fund workers in the future
01:05
since we know that the Port of Newcastle says
01:07
the coal export market is going to collapse in the next 10 years.
01:10
Where is the money?
01:11
The royalties.
01:12
What about the royalties?
01:13
The royalties, yeah.
01:14
The royalties.
01:15
You're aware of them.
01:16
You're aware about the coal.
01:17
The money that comes down through export.
01:19
Exactly.
01:20
Where is it?
01:21
It goes to parliament.
01:22
It pays for welfare.
01:24
That's what it does.
01:25
Our 8-12% and in Norway they tax their coal 78%.
01:29
It does fund the budget.
01:30
It would fund the budget much, much more.
01:33
That's why we are demanding an increase in coal royalties
01:35
to make sure that our hunter workers are taken care of
01:38
when the coal export market collapses.
01:40
Thank you very much.
