We as a local community, a state and a country, we need to start looking after our kids."<br /><br />He repelled almost 300 feet down from his perch two hours after his protest began and was immediately arrested.<br /><br />According to New South Wales police, Fox was charged with three offences and was kept in custody until his appearance before court on Friday.
