Seven Australians, who police alleged are part of the environmental action group Blockade Australia, are facing charges, including allegedly assaulting police, after a raid on a rural property northwest of Sydney where police believe unauthorised protests were being planned.
New South Wales (NSW) Police said when they arrived at a property in Colo about 8.30 a.m. on Sunday, they were allegedly surrounded by a group of individuals that included two women and five men and the tyres of an unmarked police vehicle were damaged, rendering it undrivable.
