$The Climate Circus turned up at ANZ Belconnen to shut the bank for public safety. ANZ financing the North East Australian pipeline and fracking the NT makes it dangerous. “ANZ Security”/AFP were not amused even though we were obviously hilarious. ANZ were not keen on disco dancing, clownery, circus acts and a dinosaur trying to deposit the pipeline to guarantee its second extinction. They were banking on customers not realising they invest in climate disasters, risking humanity and our environment. We’ll be back until @anz_au makes better choices on the projects they finance.$

Gas Girls, they’re natural, and toxic. Elegantly waving in the wind to passing politicians of all colours. Taunting them to tax them, knowing that they wouldn’t dare. They were mildly amused by @senatormalcolmroberts ‘ guffaws, the unhidden smile of @tanyaplibersek and the joy of Aunty Mcrose Elu. We know @senatorpaulinehanson pretended not to see them, but we know she absolutely did. #TaxGasExports

Breaking News: the ANZ branch in Woden Canberra was overtaken by dinosaurs determined to open bank accounts. Having heard that ANZ invest in extinction and having been part of a successful extinction, the dinos wanted in on a second.

Dinos were met with confusion and security responding with closing the bank, and allowing only one dino to open an account at a time.

Rising Tide activists were everywhere entertaining and informing the crowds. Discobedience discoed to bangers like “Staying Alive”. Security advised that the police weren’t coming, so the climate activists announced that mayhem, disco and ridiculousness would continue for the rest of the afternoon. Security pleaded for the police to attend to manage dying dinos, playful clowns, disco dancers and informative banner holders.

Too many ACT Police arrived. Dino biscuits were offered, and it was generally felt that the police agreed that the ANZ decision to fund the NEA pipeline was a terrible one. Fracking the NT is literally not cool for anyone. These mischief makers will be turning up again until ANZ makes better financial decisions.

$A simple message. That North East Australia pipeline @anz_au want to fund - drop it like it’s hot. It’s a super terrible project fracking the literal life out of the NT. Be better ANZ. Thank you 🙏$

Urggghhh! They’re back again! Going on about a gas exports tax. We’ve put up massive billboards about how great we are and all the corporate tax and helping people with gas stuff. Let’s hope the politicians don’t hear this lot talking about over 70% or 50% gas exports tax, we want 0% so there’s more for the Bolly fund. Profits over people #TaxGasExports

Launching “Australia’s run song” to match this bullshitty Canberra Airport Billboard. Enjoy ass gas tax messages and twerking for a gas tax, that little treat’s right at the end.

$Canberra climate activists went out in force at the Woden ANZ branch. The Banner Team, Activist Shareholders, Discobedience, Dinosaur Troupe and Climate Clowns were calling out ANZ for fracking the outback with their financial support of the NEA pipeline in the Betaloo Basin. We turned the shopping centre into our dance floor, let the dinosaurs roam and pointed out ANZ is selling out our future, until security stopped the fun. The curious onlookers loved us, ANZ not so much. Our Activist Shareholders pointed out at least 83% of the gas fracked by Betaloo Energy will be exported overseas - of no benefit to this country. We’ll be hit by its pollution. ANZ’s reputation is at risk and this project betrays their commitments to their customers. The manager said he’d “Send it up the line”. ANZ needs to make better financial decisions.$

Safeguard Mechanism. We’re going 100% on carbon credits because money can buy you a way out of actually reducing your pollution entirely. The current mechanism has reduced emissions from the top 212 polluters by an incredible 0.4%. We’re all saying fuck it, buy credits, all of them, they don’t even have to be real and no-one notices. We’re not even pretending to do Net Zero we just spend millions and billions on credits and massive billboards at the Canberra airport. Job done. Safeguarding through carbon credits and not reducing emissions at all. We’re loving the “high integrity” offsets too where we can sell off native forests and get the koala population right down, better for the selfies. Honestly, we’re don’t even need Pauline when Labor are doing such a marvellous job for us multinational billionaires.

$Canberra’s Rising Tide crew were the Welcome Committee for Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher, platformed bizarrely by the National Press Club. We really must hear more from multinational Gas Companies who sell our gas for huge profits. We do hope a journo or two asked exactly why they can’t pay a very small 25% gas exports tax. Guests were being sent round the back by the NPC because of “protestors”, so we made sure we welcomed them to the back. Reminding everyone not to frack the outback and then they could walk in front door, with no embarrassment.$

For those championing “high integrity” offsets with the INFM, we’ll celebrate when the Great Koala National Park actually happens. We’ll celebrate when native forests and old growth forests are no longer logged. You can’t trade in nature, it’s not a game. The forests lose again. We hope you’re right that it will end native forest logging, but past behaviour would say you’re not. Thank you to Senators Nick McKim, Vanessa Bleyer and Jordan Steele-John for standing up for real protection of the forests and against Labor’s bullshit INFM and Premier Minns’ endless broken promises. This is Labor, they don’t care about protecting the environment.

Supporters for Juliet Lamont rallied at the ACT Magistrate’s Court on the 4th of August 2026.

Juliet was before the court for her occupation of the EOS weapons factory roof in Hume ACT on the 21st of July 2025.
 Despite Australia denying that we are selling weapons to Israel during the ongoing genocide of the people of Gaza, EOS products were found on display at an arms fair in Israel and photographed with the Israeli Ministry of Defence. Juliet is holding that photo.  
The protestors stopped the production of weapons for a morning and put weapons manufacturers and export regulators on notice that people are paying attention to the widespread practice of supplying weapons for war crimes.

This is against the Genocide Convention and also against our defence export regulations.
Juliet pled guilty to the charge of trespass and was discharged on three months good behaviour with a five dollar surety, showing that some judges understand the desire for justice and love for fellow humans that motivates pro-Palestine protesters.

A factor in sentencing was Juliet’s role as a flotilla humanitarian. Juliet is giving evidence to the AFP of sexual abuse and torture they experienced on the latest flotilla.
