On Triple M Adelaide's breakfast show, Roo and Ditts were joined by Ben Brooker, member of the Extinction Rebellion - the activist group at the forefront of recent city protests.

Ditts asked for clarification on what the goal is for the group, after protesters blocked main roads in Adelaide over the weekend causing traffic chaos.

"Do you really think this is the best way to get your message across?" Ditts asked.

Brooker said the group "is founded on principals of non-violent civil disobedience".

"Basically the theory is to bring about social and political change that we need to address an issue that is bigger than the climate crisis."

Protesters glued themselves to the bitumen at Victoria Square last Friday, forcing police to remove the activists and reopen the bustling road.
