A woman has been charged following an unauthorised protest at the Port of Newcastle today.
The 67-year-old entered Kooragang Island on her bike just after 6:00am, and locked herself onto a coal ship loader.
She was removed by police, arrested, and taken to Newcastle Police Station, where she was charged with seriously disrupting work at a major facility and breach of bail.
The woman was refused bail to attend Newcastle Local Court later today.
