New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns will seek to block climate activists from live-streaming illegal protests on social media following a week of coordinated actions targeting east coast coal ports.

Minns will sit down with representatives from Facebook and police to discuss the move, saying the protesters’ “business model” relied on social media.
