Greenpeace Australia Pacific holds ocean-themed rally on the iconic Bondi Beach, calling on Prime Minister Albanese to join the growing chorus of nations supporting a ban on deep sea mining. Activists and ocean-lovers dressed as sea creatures hold banners reading "Hell No, Albo" and "Stop Deep Sea Mining".
Deep sea mining is a highly destructive nascent industry that involves dredging, scraping and cutting the seabed for minerals. 25 nations have already said no to deep sea mining, including the UK, France and New Zealand. Greenpeace is calling on the Albanese government to exhibit leadership on the issue and support a global moratorium on deep sea mining.
