Extinction Rebellion protestors at Commonwealth Avenue.
ONE of the protestors that stood on the roof of one of two trucks that blocked Commonwealth Avenue and Kings Avenue for seven hours yesterday (May 12) has refused to sign her bail conditions.
The activists, who were protesting in response to the lack of seriousness taken around climate change in the federal budget that was handed down on Tuesday night, were removed from the trucks by a specialist police team.
Six of them faced the ACT Magistrates Court today.
Three of the activists pled guilty to the charges and accepted fines ranging from $400 to $600, two accepted further bail conditions banning them from approaching Parliament House until a hearing on June 10, and one of them, Violet Coco, refused to sign the bail conditions.

A MAN was arrested during protests at a government car storage facility in Fyshwick today (May 11) where protestors chained and super-glued themselves to gates.
Thirty-five climate change activists from the global Extinction Rebellion movement blocked four gates to the Comcar depot on Dairy Road for three hours, preventing cars from taking politicians into Parliament House for federal budget day.
The man arrested, Erik Herbert, a 21-year-old from Queensland, was charged for trespassing and failing to provide details to police.
Mr Herbert said he was demonstrating his disgust about how governments are committing climate crimes against his generation.
Four other protesters, who chained or super-glued themselves to the gates of the car depot, were removed and spoken to by police. Eight protestors had their details taken and may be charged on summons.
