Our activists in Australia shut down Abbot Point coal export terminal in Queensland yesterday - as the Pacific Islands Forum began in Cairns. They are demanding that Kevin Rudd stops expanding Australia’s coal industry and risking the future of Pacific Islands.

LATEST UPDATE 7.10PM
Small Islands States have produced a communiqué at the Pacific Islands Forum that includes the AOSIS call for developed countries to cut C02 emissions by 45% by 2020. This is a great milestone, and ensures that the pressure will be on both the larger Pacific countries as well as Australia and New Zealand to do something significant at the forum.

UPDATE 6PM:
All activists have been taken down from the Abbot Point coal facility and are being detained by the police.

UPDATE 3.15PM:
Activists have unfurled a banner reading "Coal or climate, Kevin?". Latest images on Facebook

UPDATE 2.30PM:
Three activists remain locked onto a jety that is part of the expanded coal port. They plan to stay until Kevin Rudd gets the message.
