It has been confirmed, we have a Lock On, under a drill rig on top of a low loader. 2:50pm today Rolly locked onto a drill at James Price Point in a desperate attempt to stop Woodside. The police will arrest anyone who attempts to help or assist him.

The Blockade are asking for ALL MEDIA to be informed.
