It looks like all she wrote for the $16billion carbon bomb that was to be the Carmichael coal mine in Queensland and the wrecker of the Great Barrier Reef. Suck shit Greg Hunt (so called "environment minister" who approved the bloody thing) and environmental wreckers Adani.
We fuckin won against a $16billion project! The Reef won. The earth won. Humanity won. Common bloody sense won. Renewables are the way of the future, not coal.
Environmental legal centre EDO NSW, representing the Mackay Conservation Group, challenged the approval given by the Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to the $16.5 billion project.
Sue Higginson, principal solicitor of EDO NSW said, ‘The decision of the Court to set aside the Carmichael mine’s federal approval was based on a failure by the Minister to have regard to conservation advices for two Federally-listed vulnerable species, the Yakka Skink and Ornamental Snake. This kind of error in the decision making process is legally fatal to the Minister’s decision.’
‘The conservation advices were approved by the Minister in April last year, and describe the threats to the survival of these threatened species, which are found only in Queensland. The law requires that the Minister consider these conservation advices so that he understands the impacts of the decision that he is making on matters of National Environmental Significance, in this case the threatened species.’
‘The case also alleged that the Minister failed to consider global greenhouse emissions from the burning of the coal, and Adani’s environmental history, however these matters are left unresolved before the Court.’
The mine is now without legal authority to commence construction or operate. more
