Climate Liberation Aotearoa are currently leading a direct action in Denniston Plateau on the west coast of the South Island where two activists are stopping the mining operation by literally putting their bodies on the line - they are dangling on coal buckets above the pristine forests of the West Coast. We speak with Rosemary Penwarden about what’s happening.
