King Coal is opening up what they call "greenfields sites" in this country. And they are green sometimes when the rains come, and they are already inhabited. The Doongmabulla Springs in Wangan and Jagalingou country are a sacred place and should be sacred to all of us, but Adrian Burrugubba, who is a senior custodian is taking the Qld Government to the Supreme court on human rights grounds. The Adani company has already overstepped the environmental limits imposed to protect the springs. In a statement I received Mr Burrugubba said "If water extraction and pollution from the Adani mine are allowed to continue, the springs will be destroyed forever. [ermanently breaking our spiritual connection to our ancestors and creation stories." On April 29th we will hear their legal council Alison Rose explain their case. Meanwhile if you care about these people on a front line of climate change,trying to stoip a coal mine, trying to preserve a water source in this dry continent please donate to their legal fund W&J Nagana Yarrbayn Cultural Custodians Legal Defence Fund | Chuffed | Non-profit charity and social enterprise fundraising
