Queensland police had French journalists under surveillance, Adani documentary claims

Hugo Cli(C)ment's Sur le Front des Oci(C)ans details interference from police, including arrest and preventing crew from hiring a boat to film coal terminal

The French journalists arrested while filming an anti-Adani protest this year have claimed in a documentary the Queensland police had them "under surveillance" and sought to repeatedly block filming near Adani's Abbot Point coal terminal.

In the documentary Sur le Front des Oci(C)ans, which aired on public television network France 2 this week, journalist Hugo Cli(C)ment detailed how police acted to prevent the crew hiring a boat to obtain footage of Abbot Point from the sea.
