Episode description
It had been over 10 years since anyone in the state of Tasmania was sentenced to prison for protesting.
But that all changed when Colette Harmsen faced court this year. After racking up 22 arrests, a magistrate put her behind bars.
Even as an increasing number of climate protestors face prosecution, Colette’s story shows that some activists aren’t backing down.
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Elfy Scott, on the woman who isn’t deterred by jail time and whether direct action leads to meaningful change.
