Charges will be formally withdrawn at court next week, but they have a 20 klm exclusion order in place. So much for press freedom

what do they want to achieve by filming.

I'm a great believer in Jobs … jobe … jobs.

If families don't have jobs then you have no economy.

Bringing to light that despite government approvals, they (The protesters), believe the decision was incorrect and the damage to the environment is unacceptable.

No, because they know if they went after the worlds worst emitter of green house gases they would have to pay a price, so they pick on countries who will slap their wrists and let them go. It's about optics, you tube likes and being viewed as heroes while not making an iota of difference, they're too afraid to confront the real perpetrators of the environmental crimes that affect the globe. Posers at best..

It's like saying that just because you supplied a gun knowing that it was going to be used in a crime, that doesn't make you an accomplice. Crazy talk.
