An update on the campaign to stop the Adani's proposal for a coal mine on Wangan Jagalingou country in the Gallillee Basin in QLD. Last week Mackay Conservation Group won a Federal Court case challenging the legality of 'so called' Environment Minister Greg Hunt's approval for the Carmichael  mine.    As a successful divestment campaign sees more financial institutions walking away from Adani, the future of the project is looking increasingly shaky.
Guests: Sue Higginson -Environmental Defenders Office ofNSW, Ellen Roberts - Mackay Conservation Council, Moira Williams - 350.org. Presenter: Michaela Stubbs
