Nearly 20 people have been arrested after Extinction Rebellion activists continued to cause trouble across Brisbane as part of a week of action against climate change.

One protester suspended himself inside a hammock from the underside of Brisbane’s Story Bridge, with a banner and flags attached.

Police negotiated with the Extinction Rebellion activist and all lanes of the bridge remain open.

He has now come down from the hammock.

The man reportedly had several days of supplies on him and was refusing to come down until Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk declared a climate emergency.

Elsewhere in the Brisbane CBD, protesters have locked themselves inside drum barrels and onto boat trailers.
