What's in the water you drink? Why the Adani coal mine is being fast-tracked.

Monday, 31 October 2016 - 10:30am to 11:00am

This week Dirt Radio heads off to Australia’s inland waterways to find out what’s lurking there, in the water we might be drinking. Friends of the Earth has just published a national survey that examines the health of our rivers and water catchments. And it’s not a pretty picture.

The Adani coal mine in Queensland is back on the table, with a thump. This is despite court challenges, financing problems, and a raft of potential environmental impacts. Kristen Lyons, an Associate Professor in Environment and Development Sociology at the University of Queensland, has been tracking the history of this highly contentious mine.
