Ditch Coal - Save Bulga

Sunday, 24 July 2016 - 11:00am to 11:30am
The Coal Action Network's Ditch Coal Report

On this weeks show we are joined by Anne Harris to talk about the report 'Ditch Coal: The global impacts of the UK's addiction to coal' and how they are linking up those at the global mine sites for the UK's coal.

The people of Bulga on Wonnarua country in the Hunter Valley, have been battling to stop an expansion of Rio Tinto's coal mine. After seven years of legal cases & several wins in the courts the NSW Government changed the law to facilitate the mine expansion. The community has turned to peaceful direct action and set up a roadside vigil on Friday 15th July. Robert McLaughlin and Kevin Taggart join us.  For more information and updates visit Stand with Bulga to protect heritage from Coal Mining.

Guests:  Anne Harris (Coal Action Network UK), Kevin Taggart (Wonnarua Traditional Custodian) and Robert McLaughlin (Bulga resident).
