SLAPP - wear down and silence critics
"Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) are a tactic used by companies and wealthy individuals to weaponise the courts against those who stand up or speak out for the public interest. These lawsuits are not about justice—they are designed to intimidate, silence dissent, and suppress public debate."

"Greenpeace must pay hundreds of millions over Dakota pipeline protests, says jury.
Non-profit said in statement lawsuits like this aimed at ‘destroying the right to peaceful protest’"

"Legal sources have said the case is a classic example of a Slapp – a form of civil litigation increasingly deployed by corporations, politicians and wealthy individuals to deliberately wear down and silence critics including journalists, activists and watchdog groups. These cases, even when the entities suing lose, cause significant legal costs for defendants and can have a chilling effect."

Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters
Criminalisation and Repression of Climate and Environmental Protests

"More than 20 per cent of all climate and environment protests in Australia involve arrests, which is more than three times the global average (6.3 per cent)...Australia's arrest rate was the highest of 14 countries in the global study.
It's higher than policing efforts in the United Kingdom (17.2 per cent), Norway (14.5 per cent), and the United States (10 per cent)." >>

"Australia's political leaders have joined the "rapid escalation" of efforts to criminalise and repress climate and environmental protest."
