With xmas around the corner, our Government is trying to fast-track plans to construct the world’s largest coal port on the Great Barrier Reef. If they get their way, construction could start on the 2nd of January!
The Abbot Point Coal Terminal would provide a gateway for coal companies to unlock nine mega coal mines in the Galilee. These mines would cook the climate and wreck the Reef.
We have just a tiny window of time to tell the Government what we think of these disastrous plans. Environment Minister Greg Hunt has given Australians just ten days to comment on over 2300 pages of material about the construction plans and the deadline for comment is 5pm December 18th!
Don’t let our Government be the Grinch that stole Xmas - tell them what you think about their plans to dredge the Reef and open the floodgates to massive new coal mine expansion by making a submission today.
