Coal ship protesters fined
Posted
Ten Greenpeace activists charged with vandalising coal ships have appeared in the Cairns Magistrates Court in far north Queensland.
They were given six-month good behaviour bonds and each fined $110, but no convictions were recorded.
Each person also had to pay $275 restitution to police for costs incurred during their arrest.
The activists were detained two weeks ago after painting climate change slogans on ships waiting to dock at Mackay.
