North East (NSW) Forest Alliance update: RFA court case & Redbank Reboot

Dailan Pugh from North East (NSW) Forest Alliance updates listeners on the upcoming court case against the federal government for Regional Forest Agreement breaches. And also how Australia's worst ever polluting coal power station—the notorious and previously decommissioned Redbank Power Station at Singleton—is aiming to get back in business by recklessly hacking and burning native forests for biomass, as the declining wood chipping industry seeks alternative (unsustainable and unprofitable) ways to prop up itself up—even in the face of climate catastrophe.
