The Queensland government has given the green light to the construction of the controversial mega-mine.

Brisbane commuters are furious after two climate change activists shut down the city’s busiest street after gluing themselves to the road.

Ebony and Sergio from Extinction Rebellion Australia began the protest around 8am this morning, gluing their hands to a zebra crossing on Queen St.

Police and paramedics are working to remove the pair from the road after they refused to move.

The pair have locked their hands together in a metal pipe and have glued that to the road.

Police have since set up a barricade around the two protesters, flanked by two patrol cars and a handful of officers.

Queen St is still closed.

Ebony, who is wearing an anti-Adani shirt, said she was blocking the road to “take a stand against extinction”.

“I’m not fighting, I’m speaking up for Mother Earth. We have to stop all of this bulls**t that’s hurting. We can all feel it. We cannot lie anymore, we have to tell the truth,” she said via social media.

Sergio similarly glued himself onto the road to fight extinction.

Three other Extinction Rebellion protesters stood nearby and held a banner that read “Business as usual = Death”.

A Facebook event for the protest was created before this morning.

It said the motive was to “give commuters a little shock”.

“Infuriated by Adani’s final approval being granted? Fed up with the status quo, its ruling oligarchs and their total disregard for human life? You’re not alone,” the Facebook event read.

The protest is not sitting well with Brisbane commuters, with one commenter on social media even calling for the pair to be jailed.

Another commuter told The Courier-Mailher usual 20-minute trip into work had taken an hour this morning.
