Whilst you were enjoying your weekend, our state Government approved Adani’s mining license to build Australia’s largest ever coal mine in the Galilee Basin!*
As global temperatures hit terrifying levels and the Reef turns a deathly white, the absurdity of this decision cannot be understated.
Can you join us for a snap-action in partnership with AYCC to protest Queensland’s outrageous move?
When: 9:15-10am, Monday 4th of April
Where: in front of QLD State Parliament, Cnr of George and Alice Streets, Brisbane
What: Press conference and snap protest with Giant Nemo fish swimming in a reef surrounded by coral bleaching
Bring: Banners, placards -- “Reef/Coral not coal”
We know that the mining and burning of coal is destroying the Reef and we know that we must keep fossil fuels in the ground if we want to avoid dangerous global warming.
Yet, our Government is intent on giving the coal industry everything they need to dig more coal out of the ground and wreck our precious Reef.
Join us tomorrow morning to tell our politicians to stop putting the big polluters ahead of our Reef and our future.
