Activist Dragged From Sydney Summit After Confronting ANZ CEO Over Gas Pipeline Funding

Sydney, Australia – A Rising Tide activist was dragged from the Australian Financial Review Asia Summit after interrupting a Q&A session with ANZ CEO Nuno Matos.

Zack Schofield interrupted Matos’s opening remarks by taking the stage and criticizing ANZ for being the only bank not to rule out funding the North East Australia Pipeline, which would enable large-scale fracking of the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory.
