Climate change activists have partially blocked the entrance to the convention and exhibition centre in the city, ahead of the fourth day of a major oil and gas event.
6PR reporter Julian Douglas is there and said they’re putting on quite a show.
“There is about three dozen protestors down here and probably a dozen police, partially blocking the entrance to the convention centre on Mounts Bay Road,” he said.
“There is a truck parked across one of the three entry lanes sort of slowing traffic.”

Federal Labor resources spokesperson Madeline King will use a pre-recorded speech to champion gas jobs.
She’s featuring in talks about the role of shareholder activists.
The Member for Brand told Gareth Parker the Labor party has always been pro-resources.
“No one should be left in any doubt that Labor is a supporter of the resources industry,” she said.
“It is really important that we acknowledge the work the gas industry is doing in Western Australia and across Australia to look for a carbon free future.
