Protesters disrupted Treasurer Chalmers' speech in Queensland

During a speech at the Queensland Media Club, Treasurer Jim Chalmers faced interruptions from climate protesters. The first protester stormed the stage holding a sign that read "no new coal or gas." This caught Chalmers off guard, prompting him to pause his speech. The protester shouted about Australia's climate challenges and criticized the Labor party for supporting coal and gas projects. After a brief exchange, security removed the protester from the stage. Chalmers attempted to continue his speech, but moments later, another protester appeared, leading to a second interruption. The incident highlights ongoing tensions around environmental issues in Australia. Further details are expected to emerge.
