“This mine is a flashpoint”: Frontline resistance to Adani’s mega coal mine

Sunday, 1 October 2017 - 11:00am to 11:30am

Resistance to Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee Basin, Central Queensland, is heating up. The project is subject to sustained criticism because of the impacts on climate, the lack of consent from Traditional Owners, the company's history of corruption and the risk to precious groundwater resources.

Activists from around Australia are taking their opposition to the frontline to show the company, local and state governments how far they are willing to go, to stop this mine.

Interviewees:

  • Mathew Bing, Mackay resident
  • Megan Armstrong, Stop Adani Townsville
