What's everyone opinion on protests like this? Imo this gets a decent message out there with pretty minimal impact to anything other than the businesses managing and utilising the port as well as emergency services.

It's apparently what people want, everytime protesters shut down roads there's the usual complains from the shock jocks and co:
Pretty hard to argue against protests like this though without looking like a corporate lapdog.
