BREAKING! Protester Glued To Coal Loader At Kooragang

 BY IAN CROUCH

A woman is due to front court today after allegedly gluing herself to a coal loader at Kooragang overnight.

Police were called to Cormorant Road at about 8.30pm on Tuesday following reports a woman had scaled the coal loader and glued herself to the railing.

Officers from the Police Rescue Squad safely removed the woman from the structure about an hour later.

The 18-year-old from Canberra has been charged with enter and remain on major facility and cause damage to facility, and entering enclosed lands.

Meanwhile, no trains are running between Scone and Maitland due to protesters on the tracks at Branxton.

The Transport Management Centre says at this stage there are no replacement buses available and passengers should make alternative transport arrangements.
