Coco and three other activists blocked a lane of the Sydney Harbour Bridge one morning in April 2022 as part of an environmental protest
A 15-month jail sentence imposed on a climate protester who blocked one lane on the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a truck has been quashed.
Coco and three others drove a Hino truck on to the Harbour Bridge in morning peak hour on 13 April, 2022, as part of an environmental protest against climate inaction for Fireproof Australia.Climbing on to the roof of the vehicle alongside Alan Russell Glover, the pair lit orange flares and livestreamed the protest.
On Wednesday, Williams heard an appeal by Coco of the 15-month jail sentence imposed in the local court last December. Crown prosecutor Isabella Maxwell-Williams unsuccessfully argued Coco should be incarcerated because of her lengthy history of illegal protest which included supergluing herself to an intersection in St Kilda as part of the Extinction Australia group.
