Murrawah Johnson
Murrawah Johnson, a Wirdi woman, First Nations Program Lead and Co-Director of Youth Verdict, talks about Youth Verdict's win against Waratah Coal, the massive Clive Palmer-owned Galilee Basin coal project. Last week, a Queensland court said that the coal project should not go ahead because of its contribution to climate change, its environmental impacts, and because it would erode human rights. It was the first time human rights arguments were used in a climate change case in Australia.
