NSW Premier Chris Minns said protesting on railway corridors was a "real problem" for the Hunter and could cause "enormous damage" to the economy.

It's a good thing climate change won't cause "enormous damage" to the economy.

"But it needs to be done safely, legally, and with minimum inconvenience to the rest of the community."

minimum inconvenience to the rest of the community

So we can all safely ignore the issue. I remember not long after I moved to Sydney the rail union was going to strike as the government wasn’t negotiating in good faith, but it was deemed “too damaging to the economy” so they weren’t permitted to. These restrictions just keep getting tighter and tighter.
