‘News Corp is a climate criminal of the highest order’: Protestors lie in Holt Street to demand advertiser boycott

Those walking past News Corp’s Sydney offices on Friday afternoon were greeted with a strange sight: three to four hundred people laying in the street, agitating for advertisers to boycott what organiser Brad Pedersen called “a climate criminal of the highest order”.

It wasn’t the “usual lying you see on Holt St [the location of News Corp’s Surry Hills HQ]” according to deputy lord mayor Jess Scully, who spoke at the protest alongside the likes of Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi.
